Derek Baker
About
My name is Derek Baker, and I am the Owner at Derek Baker Golf Academy. I have been a PGA of Canada Member since 2009, and have taught and developed junior golf programs for my entire career at several prestigious golf courses. My primary focus is providing engaging, structured, long-term coaching programs to golfers of all skill levels. I utilize a holistic approach that involves consistent, measured skill progression in all facets of the game. Whether you or your children are new to the game, or are competitive golfers, I look forward to making your on-course experience match your goals. I run junior golf programs out of the Edmonton Country Club and Windermere Golf and Country Club.
Here are a few of the highlights of my teaching and coaching experience:
Developed Junior Golf Programs, and taught hundreds of Junior Golf Classes and private lessons at some of the top golf courses in Canada: The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club, Windermere Golf and Country Club, and now the Edmonton Country Club.
