About

Hello, thank you for visiting Golf4uCanada. I’m Dave Horne a Master Golf Teaching Professional.

My golf career started 40 years ago as a junior golfer with a passion to get better and hit it long. 

•  As my game progressed, I strived to improve in more ways than one. I started by looking into my clubs  and discovered what a difference it made not only to have the right equipment but also have the right grips. I started re-gripping my own clubs and fixing my buddy’s broken ones. I realized that if I could get my buddy’s to listen to what I had to say they could improve their golf game. This wasn’t necessarily good for the club repair business but teaching was another passion that grew into a new career.

• I saw the frustration golfers experience and the disappointment they felt not playing as well as they would like.  Taking endless lessons only to come away feeling more confused and overwhelmed.  I knew there had to be a better way to help golfers overcome their obstacles and rekindle their passion for the game of golf.
•  I then embarked on a journey to learn as much as I could to teach the great game of golf.

• I first started out by becoming a Certified Club Fitter through the Club Makers Society. I wanted to make sure I could properly assess my clients clubs and make any adjustments necessary. 

• I then became certified as a Master Golf Teaching professional through the Canadian Golf Teachers Federation, US Golf Teachers Federation and the World Golf Teachers Federation.
•  In 2020 I was proudly named one of the top 50 Golf Professionals in Canada by the Canadian Golf Teachers Federation (CGTF).

• As a Master Golf Teaching Professional and a PGA International Professional I knew there was a key ingredient missing to help my students achieve their very best. To better understand the mental game of golf, I became a Certified Golf Psychologist.  I wanted to help golfers unlock and overcome any  psychological obstacles that may be holding them back.

• To enhance my ability to take my students to the next level, I became a Certified TPI coach.

• This training has allowed me to properly screen, assess, and analyze golfers abilities as well as physical limitations in order to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

• Although there is an infinite number of swing styles, I believe there is one efficient swing style that is right for you.  With the proper TPI screening and a training plan, I can uncover your unique swing.
•  I'm looking forward to working with you and helping you “Own your own Swing”.
