Grant Bollin joins us from Toledo, Ohio. Prior to joining us here in the desert, Grant has worked at Heather Downs Country Club in Toledo, Ohio serving as an Assistant Golf Professional and Golf Fitness Trainer for four seasons. He attended Trine University (Angola, IN) as a member of the Golf and Baseball teams and finished his education at The Professional Golfers’ Career Collage (Orlando, FL). As a Golf Professional and Fitness Trainer, Grant has had the opportunity to work with golfers of all skill levels and physical ailments. He believes the foundation of a sound golf swing can be achieved only after correlating ones swing flaws with one’s physical limitations. Rather than beating balls on the driving range and expecting a different result, let’s find the root cause and fix it from a functional and foundational standpoint. “Swing flaws can be resolved through flexibility, balance, and body awareness training”, Bollin stated.

A fifteen-year veteran of the service industry, Larissa knows what it takes to deliver high-quality standards of customer service.
