EPISODE 121- STEVEN DURAND PGA COACH

We’re fired up to welcome Steven Durand to the podcast! Steven is a PGA Golf Coach and one of the most respected instructors in the game today. He was named Regional Coach of the Year in 2023–2024 and followed that up by earning 2025 Coach of the Year, a true testament to the impact he’s making both on and off the course. But Steven’s story goes way beyond golf. Before coaching, he was a professional dancer, even spending time as a backup dancer for Vanilla Ice. That background in movement, balance, and rhythm plays a huge role in how he teaches the golf swing today. Oh—and if that wasn’t enough, he’s also a pretty legit skateboarder, bringing a unique edge and creativity to everything he does. Tune in as we dive into Steven’s incredible journey, how dance and skating shaped his coaching philosophy, and what separates great instructors from the rest. 🔥 Big shoutout to our sponsors for making this episode possible:88 Links Golf 88Links Golf USE CODE "UPSTATE" AT CHECKOUT and Hudson Valley Indoor Golf — Make your tee time now at HOME | Hudson Valley Golf go support the brands that support the show!
