About
Keri’s road to coaching began when she transitioned from a gymnast into coaching the competitive team at her local club. Those years instilled a love for coaching that crossed over to golf. She taught her first lesson days after she turned professional and was immediately hooked.
Her first full-time role in teaching was at Westwood Plateau Golf Academy. Following that, she was hired as the Director of Instruction at Mayfair Lakes Golf & Country Club where her team created a successful Academy.
In addition to running the Mayfair Lakes Golf Academy, she was hired by British Columbia Golf to work with the provincial team where she ran provincial training camps and coached Team BC at several Canadian Junior Girls’ Championships and BC Summer Games.
