The Winston Academy of Golf

As the former world record-holder for driving distance, Brad Peterson turned his passion for power into an all-encompassing purview of golf strategy. For more than 14 years, Brad has been helping golfers to lower golf scores through private and group lessons at Winston Academy of Golf. Brad determines the issues his student might be experiencing and identifies key areas for improvement. Armed with this information, he devises custom lesson plans, including swing-specific exercises and video swing analysis to reveal imbalanced backswings and triple-axel follow-throughs.

Though Brad Peterson has taught more than 5,000 students in his career, one pupil stands out, not only as a physically imposing human but also as a golf success story: NBA Hall-of-Famer Rick Barry. After meeting and discussing golf, Brad turned Rick into a three-time ReMax World Long Drive Champion with his techniques for maximizing power and avoiding low-post rejections by other former NBA big men.
