The Nationwide Golf Schools , is proud to be affiliated with Katherine Nino LPGA

She has dedicated herself to her instructional and performance

workshops on the Monterey Peninsula since 1997.

Katherine is an LPGA Certified Teaching Professional who began competing at an elite

level of tournament golf as an adolescent. She attended Stanford University on a full golf

scholarship, earning a Bachelor degree.

Katherine holds a Master’s degree in Psychology and has completed all doctoral

coursework, with an emphasis on Sports Psychology.

In addition to her golf and academic history, Katherine has worked as a mental

health practitioner and in the corporate health services industry. She has dedicated herself

to her instructional and performance enhancement programs and workshops on the

Monterey Peninsula since 1997.

 

Katherine recognizes that all golfers do not have the same learning styles or physical

abilities, nor do they learn at the same pace. With this in mind, she instructs programs

that will teach you the fundamentals of a sound golf swing in a positive, supportive,

and friendly environment specifically designed to create confidence and produce results.

 

"Mastering the Mental Game", as developed by Katherine, is an important element

of the Monterey Golf School instruction.

 

Katherine's Mental Game programs are based on the premise that we play the game

of golf as much, if not more, with our minds, than with our bodies. If we can learn

to manage and control our attitudes, emotions, and reactions to both negative

and positive experiences on the golf course, we can increase our level of confidence,

enjoy the game more, and we will play better golf.

 

Katherine's outstanding professional skills, integrated with Bruce Baird's unique

"short swing" physical curriculum provide the golf student with an exceptionally

high degree of success while enjoying the process!
