Blake Hardesty
Director of Golf
After completion of the PGA Golf Management Program at EKU in 2016 I have spent time at various facilities. I was named the Kentucky PGA Youth Player Development Award Winner in 2021 and a PGA Junior League #GameChanger Award winner in 2023. I am a Golf Digest Certified Instructor and Level 1 US Kids Coach. I now serve as the Director of Golf for First Tee - Louisville, Shawnee Golf Course and Bobby Nichols Golf Course. I am passionate about giving golfers of all backgrounds opportunities to play and learn this great game. Helping them begin and grow as golfers and people is one of the most rewarding things. I look forward to getting to know you and help you improve!
