Starting golf at the age of fourteen might have seemed late for the Texas native but Shannon found success quickly by winning her first Junior Golf Tournament only three weeks after holding a club. She credits her late father, Roger, in having the largest influence on her love for the game. Having a natural swing lead to receiving a NCAA Division 1 Golf Scholarship (degrees in business and kinesiology) playing mini tour events and eventually competing on the LPGA Tour.

One rainy October morning changed everything when 128 head of cattle were crossing the Interstate causing a near fatal accident. Shannon was unable to play competitive golf again but found her real passion in teaching golf. After studying with Sarasota Sports Doctors, who treat the most elite athletes in the world, Shannon shares tips on how to discover your unique anatomy swing. Best at helping 55+ golfers find their ‘mature swing’ is her true passion. She is empathetic to pain and injury having known it so well herself. Her studies are centered in fundamentals that work with your body and not against it. You will see immediate results because the swing is built to you.

You might have seen Shannon on the Golf Channel, Fox Sports or read her articles in a golf magazine. Shannon is a LPGA Class A Golf Professional and was Director of Marketing for PlayCollegeGolf.com, a company that helps high school students connect with NCAA university coaches in search of talent to fill their teams. Her Marketing and LPGA background helped the startup CaddieNow.  CaddieNow brings caddies back to the game of golf.

She has traveled with the Crystal Cruises family for 23 years and loves being at sea teaching golf. Her husband, Matthew, and son, Boaz, live in Fort Worth, Texas are often traveling with her around the world or playing a simple round of golf.
