Tucsonan Susie Meyers, a 1980s UA golfer who played in four U.S. Women’s Opens, has been chosen by Golf Magazine as one of America’s Top 100 golf teachers. The list will be published in the magazine’s March issue.

Not only that, Meyers has written a book β€œGolf From Point A,” which is available on Amazon and through Barnes & Noble. Meyers, whose son, Chris Meyers, plays at Stanford, and whose husband, Dan Meyers, is a former Arizona Amateur champion, teaches at Ventana Canyon Golf Club. She is known most for instructing PGA Tour regular Michael Thompson, a former Rincon/University High golfer, but she has taught and instructed hundreds of Tucson golfers of all age groups. Her book touches on the swing, the short game and the mental side of golf. Meyers has a background that includes working with some of golf’s most reputable teachers, including Hank Haney and Jim McLean.
