Top 100 Experience Delivers Unforgettable Spring Golf School at PGA WEST®

Ten dedicated golfers had an incredible opportunity to improve their games during the third annual Top 100 Experience Golf School, hosted by the PGA WEST® Golf Academy from March 28–30, 2025. This exclusive multi-day event featured personalized coaching from four of the most respected instructors in the game: Bryan Lebedevitch, PGA WEST's Director of Instruction, Instructors Joe Hallett and Brady Riggs, and Kevin Sprecher, Director of Instruction at Sleepy Hollow Country Club.

Each of these experts has earned a spot among GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Teachers in America and consistently appears on Golf Digest's Best Teachers in Every State list—including the 2024–2025 edition. Their coaching credentials span from passionate amateurs to elite PGA and LPGA Tour professionals.

 

Over three days, participants took part in high-level coaching sessions covering AimPoint putting, full swing and short game techniques, and on-course instruction on the back nine of the famed PGA WEST Pete Dye Stadium Course. The immersive program also included custom club fitting with Master Club Fitter Charlie Rodi.

Golfers were treated to a welcome lunch and a post-instruction happy hour and barbecue—both specially prepared by PGA WEST® Executive Chef Hervé Glin.

 

To cap off the experience, each guest left with a personalized practice plan and a SMART Swag Bag featuring a hand-signed bottle of wine from Cristie Kerr and her Kerr Cellars label. Kerr, a former World No. 1 on the LPGA Tour, has worked with Bryan Lebedevitch since 2004.

 

 

"Thanks so much, Bryan. I love the Academy…let me know the dates for next year because I'll be signing up. I learned a lot and all of the instructors are incredible. What a team you have. Thank you for the wonderful meals, the swag, just everything was first class. I think one of the highlights was playing nine holes yesterday with you so I can really see what goes on in the course."

"Thank you again for the great class. It was by far the most informative, organized, and motivational I've attended. All of the instructors had great insights and information and were nice too. The attention to detail, the gifts, the food, all an added bonus!"
