Ron Sagara PGA Class A ProfessionalBiography
Ron Sagara was born and raised in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. As a youngster, he took advantage of the great weather and spent weekends and summers outdoors surfing and playing all sports including golf. When not surfing Ron would often play with his dad at popular golf course a few blocks from the beach. Ron Sr. never received any formal training, but was an avid golfer in his own right. He recently retired after working for more than a decade at the Stanford Golf Course. Ron relocated to the Bay Area in the early-1980's and has been with Mariners Point Practice Center since 1996. Prior to becoming a PGA Golf Professional, Ron enjoyed a wonderful and successful corporate career at Levi Strauss & Co. where he created national print and media advertising campaigns for the jeans apparel company. It is here where he honed his interpersonal and communication skills and applied some of the life lessons that golf had taught him.
During the first decade of the new century Tiger Woods almost single-handedly made the sport of golf popular. The "Tiger Effect" lead Ron to pursue a new career as a Golf Professional. He enrolled in the PGA of America Golf Management Program in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where he was privileged to spend four years of academic training with some of the brightest minds in the golf industry. Upon graduating he was elected into membership by the PGA of America as a PGA Golf Professional.
Teaching Style
Ron's teaching philosophy is suited for all skill levels, from the beginner who is picking up a club for the first time to the more committed player. His methods are based on proven models of learning, using simple and repeatable swing progressions, incorporating verbal, kinesthetic, and visual cues. His building-block approach to learning enables his students to successfully attain short-term goals. He does not provide "quick fixes", but rather prescribes a practice regiment that when imprinted over time, on a regular basis, produces new desired habits. Personal Interests
Ron believes in trying to find the right balance in life between work and his personal life. Time spent outside of teaching enables him to be mentally and physically refreshed for his students. To maintain that balance Ron and his wife enjoy a physically active outdoor lifestyle in Laguna Niguel, California which includes working out, swimming or just enjoying the beach. He still visits his favorite surf spots when in Southern California. |
