Craig Skiles
Started playing the game of golf after high school. Craig played many sports in high school including Basketball, Football and Track. His passion for the game came from watching Tiger Woods at a young age. Tiger was able to show the world that with hard work and the right practice any person can be trained to be a golfer. Craig started playing the game and realized how challenging the game can be. He searched out for the right kind of training to improve his game and give him the knowledge to teach others the skills necessary to perform a consistent and repeatable golf swing. Craig attended the Golf Academy of America in Myrtle Beach SC. While Attending school Craig worked with 6 PGA Professionals and 2 master Professionals. During his time at the Golf Academy Craig learned all of the skills and fundamentals necessary to be a good player and instructor. While in school Craig placed 3rd in the Golf Academy of America Players Championship and 2nd in the Match Play. Craig helped out with the World Amateur and the First Tee program in Myrtle beach. After graduation Craig started working for the Edwin Watts Golf Academy. He has been teaching golf for years and realized how important it is to actually see/feel what you are doing as opposed to relying on guessing. Not only has he seen the improvement in his students but with feedback, Craig was able to reach a 2.5 handicap. Craig is a big believer in the Philosophy of the Edwin Watts Golf Academy and looks forward to helping individuals get better one day at a time.

Mark Pelcher
I grew up in Western, New York where in high school I played soccer, basketball and baseball, but was always interested in golf. After high school I started playing more and more golf and that interest evolved into a love which is when my Golf career began. I enrolled into the Golf Academy of America the Myrtle Beach Campus where I earned a degree being taught by 2 PGA Masters Professionals and 6 PGA Class A professionals. While at the Academy my love grew to a passion for the game, helping out in the area when I could with different local tournaments and also the local first tee. After school I moved back to New York where I worked in club sales at a local pristine golf shop, that has been featured in golf digest. There I worked and mentored under two more class A professionals. Throughout my learning I have developed my own views on the golf swing and am now sharing my views and my passion with all my students. I truly believe in the Edwin Watts Golf Philosophy and the feedback that is given through the technology and cant wait to hand down his passion for the game to his students.
