Ben Sutton adds instructors

Sun City Center, Fla. – Ben Sutton Golf School added two veteran instructors – Bob Woodfin and Chris Ayles – to its staff of PGA teaching professionals.
Woodfin and Ayles will fill instructional roles as the golf school continues to expand its curriculum and geographical reach.

To complement its Sun City Center location, Ben Sutton Golf School recently announced the addition of a new northeastern campus at the Windham House Resort in Windham, N.Y. Located three hours north of New York City, the Windham House Campus is scheduled to open in April.

A graduate of the University of Alabama and four-year letterman on the men’s golf team, Woodfin enjoyed a brief stint on the PGA Tour before assuming the position of teaching professional at the Acacia Country Club in Lyndhurst, Ohio. Prior to joining Ben Sutton Golf School, he was the director of golf operations and head teaching professional at the Trumbull Country Club in Warren, Ohio, for 33 years.

Ayles embarks on his second tenure with the Ben Sutton Golf School, having served as a senior instructor at the Sun City Campus from 1996 to 1997. A standout high-school golfer in Michigan, he turned professional at 18 and played on various tours throughout Florida. Following a 14-year career with the St. Joe Company, Ayles was the head professional at Winding Hollow Country Club in Columbus. He has bought and sold a handful of golf courses and continues to be a player in the North Florida Section of the PGA of America.

“Bob and Chris bring a tremendous amount of experience to our instructional staff and will be key in enabling us to meet our projected 2006 demand and goals,” says Dick Sutton, president of Ben Sutton Golf School. “Both gentlemen possess a deep and unique understanding of the golf swing and the game’s fundamentals, and how to articulate that knowledge to students.”

For more than 35 years, Ben Sutton Golf School has attracted students from population centers throughout the northeastern United States and around the world to its original location in Sun City Center, Florida, centrally located between Tampa and Sarasota. Prospective and returning students will be able to choose between two fully equipped instructional facilities depending on their travel, climate and golf preferences.
