Dwight Nevil grew up in Denison, Texas, where his father managed the Denison Country Club. Nevil’s father began teaching Nevil at the age of six at the Country Club. He has now been playing golf for 63 years and has been teaching for more than 35 years.

During his tenure as a golfer, he has played internationally on the Asian Tour in 1970 and a few events in Mexico. Nevil competed on the PGA Tour for eight years and had two wins including the Magnolia Classic in 1973. He is now a Life Member of the PGA of America and a Veteran Member of the PGA Tour (Champions Tour). On the Champions Tour he has won the Texas Senior Open in 1995 and was awarded the Northern Texas Section Distinguished Service Award in 2011.

Nevil joined IJGA in 2012 from the Dallas Hank Haney facility where he worked as a coach and club fitter. He believes the only way to succeed in junior golf is through hard work and believing in yourself, “If it is to be, it is up to me”.
