About Chris Kading

(In the off-season, Chris is also a martial arts Instructor at WAMMA Brandon aka BAMMA!)

Deer Ridge CPGA Head  Professional, Chris Kading, began his golf career at age 12 picking range balls for Ray Relf in Brandon, MB at the 18th Street North Driving Range. That location was later purchased by local golf legend Richard Bull and became Taurus Golf Centre. Chris continued to work for Richard and developed a passion for the game.

 

At age 19, Chris turned professional and later completed his 5-year CPGA apprentice training under the tutelage of Bull. During that time, Chris also received a three-year Bachelor of Science degree from Brandon University, majoring in Psychology, with an emphasis in behavioural neural science, behavioural modification, learning, motivation and perception. Chris applies those areas of study to his instruction programs to amplify students learning. 

 

Chris has dedicated his career to the study of the golf swing. His lessons are based on the laws of physics and how the body works. He explains the swing in a simple way that can be easily understood. 

 

Not only will you have a good understanding of what you should be trying to do, but you will be able to repeat it with the simple drills he will teach you. Chris teaches all levels of golfers.
