Hi, I’m Grant Brown: Playing and teaching golf is my passion! I have three major goals in golf: Pass my golf knowledge on to my students so they can reach their full potential, play professional tournaments to the best of my ability, and show the love of Jesus in all situations. When I play tournaments, I am committed to playing at my highest level, and I am committed to helping my students play at their highest level as well.
Born and raised on a dairy farm near Bessie, OK, I discovered the game of golf at 15 years old. Someone gave me some clubs and I was immediately hooked on the challenge of trying to hit the ball in the air. I checked out books from the library and practiced swinging and hitting balls around our dairy and into the surrounding wheat fields.
When I was 16, I got a job at Riverside Golf Course in Clinton, OK, where I worked until I finished high school. I practiced every moment I could, and by the time I was entering college I was good enough to break par every now and then. I was able make it through try-outs to walk on the golf team at Southwestern Oklahoma State University.
At Southwestern is where I met and fell in love with Jeree Burnett. We got married the summer after my freshman year in 2004, and then I transferred to the University of Central Oklahoma. I finished out my degree in Professional Golf Management at UCO while taking night classes and working at Quail Creek Country Club as an assistant pro. This was where I first started giving golf lessons at the age of 21.
After graduating college, Jeree and I moved to Scottsdale, AZ, for me to pursue professional golf. It was at this time, while I was playing professional tournaments, that I met a teaching professional named Jack Cramer who mentored and coached me for 3 years at Mountain Brook Golf Club in Gold Canyon, AZ. During this time, I started conducting golf clinics with Jack which led to private lessons with the golfers I met at the clinics.
When I wasn't competing in tournaments, most days I would get to the course at sunrise and wouldn't leave till late afternoon or evening. I have so many fond memories of practicing and playing while being mentored by Jack. I really enjoyed my time at Mountain Brook as they have an amazing short game area and range. But it was almost an hour drive one-way from where we lived in Scottsdale.
In 2010 we had our first child who we named Nathan. This was during the time that I was making the long drive back and forth from home to Mountain Brook and I decided that I wanted to be closer to home. So I said goodbye to all my friends at Mountain Brook and started teaching private lessons at a driving range in Scottsdale that was about 2 miles from where we lived.
I taught at the driving range for about a year and then was able to start teaching at Starfire Golf Club in Scottsdale, AZ. I taught at Starfire for 10 years while playing as many professional tournaments as possible. During this time our daughter, Ellie, and son, Asher were born.
In the summer of 2016 my family and I started visiting Oklahoma for the summers while I taught at Lawton Country Club. My wife, Jeree, grew up in Cache, OK, so it was amazing to be close to family for the summers. During this time we would spend about 9 months in Scottsdale and about 3 months in Oklahoma.
Then, in 2021 We moved full time to Oklahoma and I taught full time at Lawton Country Club for two years. In 2023 I moved into an office space in Lawton and started coaching indoors on a simulator for the next two years. During this time we had our daughter, Nina, and son, Easton.
In 2025 I started coaching in an indoor 1,300 square foot coaching studio in Elgin, OK. Now, not only am able to help my students with their full swings, but I am able to work on chipping and putting with them indoors as well.
Looking back at my professional life and family life, I can see how God has worked out so many things in my life that I never could have dreamed of. All of the accomplishments of this life are nothing to me compared to being a child of God and having a relationship with Him through Jesus. Through my experiences in life and from reading the Bible, I am convinced that this life is very short compared to eternity. I want to give God glory through the way that I live my professional life and family life.
Also, I am very thankful for the amazing relationships that I have made through golf. My clients are my friends first, and I am thankful to be able to make a positive difference in their lives. My goal is to to help each student reach their goals. And I am very blessed and thankful to work with some amazing people who have reached and are reaching some amazing goals!
