Core Golf's Sean Foley coaches Sean O'Hair
Sean Foley, Director of Instruction of the Core Golf Junior Academy, has reached an agreement to coach PGA Tour player Sean O’Hair.
ORLANDO, Florida (August 8, 2008)—Sean Foley, Director of Instruction of the Core Golf Junior Academy, has reached an agreement to coach PGA Tour player Sean O’Hair.
After working together during the week of the RBC Canadian Open, O’Hair and Foley have formalized their coaching relationship.
“I believe that Sean O’Hair is one of the rising stars of the PGA Tour,” said Foley, who also coaches PGA Tour player Stephen Ames and the Nationwide Tour’s Greg Owen.
“Sean has an immense amount of talent, an incredible work ethic and he’s an outstanding person. I’m elated to be working with Sean to help him reach his goals.”
The results of their collaboration were almost immediate: after finishing 80th at the Open Championship, O’Hair finished T3 for the Canadian Open and T12 at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
“He's (Foley) got a lot of good stuff to say and approaches things a little bit different” O’Hair, 26, told pgatour.com.
“He saw some things in my setup and my move to my left side with kind of my legwork, and basically it's taken the left side of the golf course out of play, and that's kind of been my nemesis this year," said the native of Lubbock, Texas and winner of two PGA Tour events (the 2005 John Deere Classic and the 2008 PODS Championship).
