Dave Reiten

Dave Reiten serves as the camp director for our Nike Junior Golf Camp at Augustine Golf Club.

After 28 years in government service, Dave decided to follow his passion and take advantage of an opportunity presented to him to learn how to teach, instruct and coach through Raspberry Golf Academy.

Teaching philosophy: Golf is supposed to be fun. My approach is rooted in identifying the goals and objectives of each student and devising a plan to help meet or exceed goals in an efficient manner. I learned the hard way that going at this maddening game alone leads to a lack of clarity in terms of what constitutes success. My low round is a 65 and my low tournament round is a 68. I also have had my fair share of rounds where I did not play to my capabilities and would like to help you build a toolbox to avoid those rounds. I work everyday on ways to continue learning how to apply the lessons I obtain into my own game.

We all make decisions during a round that can turn an opportunity into an oops moment where it slipped away because you didn’t make the best decision at that moment. I will help you figure out how to make the most informed decision on how to make that birdie, par or bogey, that brings us all back for more. I can help you regardless of whether you usually shoot 100 or 80.

I welcome the opportunity to help you avoid the self taught approach that I employed which led to periods of frustration because I wasn’t getting better fast enough. If you are interested in seeing how I can help you please email me and we will schedule an evaluation of your game and come up with a plan together to help you have more fun on the golf course
