Randy Taylor - Embrace Inner City New Golfers

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456237/fan_mail/new] Randy Taylor, had an a good upbringing, one that didn't initially start off with golf. Growing up in the inner-city of Bridgeport, CT. "Where I grew up, you either played sports or hung out with troublemakers." Randy Taylor started in a local municipal golf course, and had a great first encounter with local teaching pro Sam Griffin. After being forced by his mom to join an afterschool program, which initially made him very upset not being familiar with the game of golf. "During the summers, my dad would drop me off at the golf course every morning with lunch money. I would hang out with my best friend, Kevon, and we would play golf all day, until we could barely stand. Everyone at Fairchild Wheeler looked out for us. The head pro, general manager and the rest of the staff made us feel welcome in a tight-knit community. The starters would let us play a second 18 for free. The snack bar staff gave us free burgers and never took our lunch money." Randy's story of ultimately meeting Tiger Woods, and Tiger handing a him a scholarship to a Nike Golf Camp was very inspiring. That same year in 97 Tiger would go on and make Golf History. Randy showcases this event and more of his upbringing really well on his site.

After seeing some of the finest surgeons in California it was determined that he needed reconstructive elbow surgery to repair nerve and tendon issues. Lanyi spent twelve months away from playing, working daily with a trainer and physical therapist to rebuild the strength which led to Sean’s diligent training habits and work ethic away from the golf course.

This position exposed Sean to the best players in the world; seeing the PGA Tour players practice regiments and work ethic on a daily basis. Lanyi then joined the Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf at DragonRidge Country Club, mentored and trained under the guidance of Mike Malaska, PGA Teacher of the Year in 2011 and Golf Digest Top 100 Teacher.  Sean took the knowledge and wisdom and moved back to Southern California a few years later to create his own golf instruction business with Big Canyon Country Club, Monarch Beach Golf Links and Black Gold Golf Club before relocating to the Pacific Northwest and joining forces with Golf Channel Academy eventually opening up 18 Shots, the Ultimate Indoor Facility located in Vancouver, Washington.
