Scott Wilson, PGA Professional, grew up in Saugatuck, MI where he spent his days at the local golf course learning, practicing and playing the wonderful game of golf. With golf being such a huge passion in his young life Scott decided to pursue a career in golf and entered the Professional Golf Management program at Ferris State University, graduating in 1996. As part of this program, Scott was hired at Crystal Mountain for an internship in 1994. That internship turned into much more than initially expected. Scott now comes to Bay Meadows with over 20 years of experience as the Director of Instruction at Crystal Mountain. In addition to being a proud member of the PGA of America and ADM Certified PGA Coach, Scott is also a US Kids Certified Instructor, Double Goal Certified Coach Of the Positive Coaching Alliance and a Level One Certified Coach for the First Tee of America.
