Stan Utley
The Art of Golf
Stan Utley is one of the most well known and sought after SHORT GAME INSTRUCTORS in golf.
He is a PGA TOUR winner and currently ranks 14th according to Golf Digest’s “America’s 50 Greatest
Teachers” – a poll of more than 1,500 teaching professionals from around the country.
Born in January, 1962, Utley attended the University of Missouri where he was a three-time All-Big Eight
selection and two-time All-American. After graduation, Utley turned pro in 1984 and joined the PGA
TOUR winning the 1989 Chattanooga Classic. He also holds the PGA TOUR record for fewest putts in
nine holes with six at the 2002 Air Canada Championship. Utley also competed on the Web.com Tour
earning three victories – the 1993 NIKE Cleveland Open and the 1995 NIKE Louisiana Open and NIKE
Miami Valley Open.
Currently, Utley focuses most of his time on teaching. His list of current and former students reads like
a who’s who of golfers on the PGA, Web.com, Champions and LPGA Tours including: Jay Haas, Scott
Piercy, Bill Haas, Paige Mackenzie, Amanda Blumenherst, Kevin Streelman, Darren Clarke, Brandt Jobe,
Sergio Garcia, Rocco Mediate, Alex Noran, Inbee Park, Paul McGinley and many more.
Utley’s passion is watching people “light up” when they have the experience of understanding and executing
better golf through his instruction and encouragement. Utley begins each session by asking a series of
questions to better comprehend a student’s playing history and goals. He then calls on his experience
as a PGA TOUR player and instructor to share proven techniques for shooting lower scores in a simple,
understandable way.
Utley has also written four instructional books – The Art of the Swing, The Art of Putting, The Art of the
Short Game and The Art of Scoring – and developed a subscription-based video instruction website
called Stan University (Stan U).
Utley resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with his family and plays out of Grayhawk Golf Club.

INSTRUCTION
STAN THE TEACHER
As a player on the PGA TOUR Stan understood
the importance of shooting low scores and
incorporates that mentality into his teaching
philosophy. In addition to amateur golfers,
Stan has taught and still teaches a host of Tour
players many of whom credit Stan for their success.
“Prior to discussing my putting with Stan, I was struggling
badly. What he told me in just a few minutes meant
more to me than what anyone had ever told me in regards
to my stroke. Stan has a great knowledge of the game
and a wonderful way of getting his message across.”
— JAY HAAS, nine-time PGA TOUR winner
and 16-time Champions Tour winner

doing a lot of good things. After Stan Utley came and
helped me…I rolled the ball great this week.”

it. I was never thinking that way before.”
