 Shaun Barnes (PGA Tenured Professional)
Shaun Barnes first started playing golf when he was 10 years old, playing with his father and brother. Shaun and his brother played at Haggin Oaks in the Junior Golf program in the early 1980's but he never took the game too seriously until 10 years later while earning an A.S. degree in Physical Therapy in Loma Linda University.
Shaun worked at Sutter Memorial and Sutter General hospitals as a Physical Therapist Assistant from 1995 until 2000 when he decided to switch careers. He attended the Professional Golfers Career College in Temecula, CA where he earned a specialized Associates Degree in golf management and graduated at the top of his class.
Before joining the team at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex, Shaun worked for The First Tee of Greater Sacramento at William Land Golf Course where he taught kids and adults the game of golf.
Shaun's passion is teaching. His teaching philosophy is that no matter what level of golfer, "having fun" should be the number one priority while learning and playing. "By getting the student to be more aware of what they are doing and why they are doing it, then they can become their own golf coach." A strong base of fundamentals (grip, posture, aim and alignment) is the process which can and will lead to desirable outcomes.
