 SHELBY
FUTCH
FOUNDER & CEO
Shelby began playing golf in junior
high school and developed a natural swing on his own that earned him a solid
reputation in junior tournaments throughout Oklahoma and a scholarship to
Oklahoma State University. AT OSU, the encounter between a traditional, orthodox
golf coach and his individualized, non-orthodox golf swing had less than
favorable results which was, perhaps, the catalyst for the vision and
determination that lead to the world's most successful golf instruction
programs.
Prior to establishing the Scottsdale Golf Group in 1970, Shelby played in
numerous tours including the Far Eastern, South American and several US tours,
and won the Illinois PGA Championship in the early 70's. While in Chicago,
Shelby owned and operated many successful retail golf stores as well as a
successful golf club manufacturing and fitting operation.
Shelby has authored numerous instruction articles published in nationally
recognized publications and was featured in the book, GOLF GURUS. He has
appeared on The Golf Channel's "Golf Academy Live" and is ranked as one of the
best teachers in the country by Golf Digest. He has produced two sets of
successful golf instructional videos, helping thousands of golfers improve and
enjoy their game. He is a frequent guest speaker for the Hong Kong and China PGA
and is involved in the development of instructional programs for mainland China
and is also very dedicated to junior golf programs throughout the country.
