Sandy Nickerson

Sandy is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional with more than 30 years instructional experience. She has worked at top golf properties spanning from Hawaii to Hilton Head. She grew up learning to play golf at the Wailea Golf Resort, on Maui. She played collegiately at the University of Hawaii and at UCLA and spent a number of years playing professionally before becoming a full-time LPGA Instructor. In addition to having earned over 300 hours of instructional training with the LPGA, Sandy’s experience includes time spent training with several notable instructors. This has holistically shaped Sandy’s understanding of the game of golf, how students best learn, and what their motivations are. Sandy has taught at various prestigious clubs and resorts, such as the Maroon Creek Club in Aspen, Indian Wells CC, Palo Alto Hills Golf & CC, and Telluride Ski & Golf Club to name a few. Sandy welcomes aspiring golfers of all ages and abilities. However, she’s especially passionate about growing the game with women. She understands that golf can be an intimidating sport for women, no matter their age or experience. That’s why she’s spent her career facilitating women’s golf schools, organizing women’s only golf getaways across the country and abroad, and regularly hosts ladies clinics where the environment is welcoming and relaxed. More often than not, there’s a glass of wine and a toast at the end.
