Bunky Fagan - bunky@edwinwattslc.com - Owner of Edwin Watts Golf Academy, Marketing and Sales, Golf Professional and Instructor for Jacksonville Store. " Bunky" as they call him, has an impressive resume of marketing and management positions for major US Corporations. He started Edwin Watts Golf Academy in January of 2001. His present handicap is now in the single digits due to practicing what he teaches! Recently he scored his first hole in one. His passion for teaching and helping others in golf is very evident, especially when you see the thousands of golfers whose game has gotten better due to the training at Edwin Watts.

Jane Fagan - jfagan@edwinwattslc.com - Office Manager for Great Golf. She now has been playing golf for over two years and due to the Edwin Watts Golf Academy Laser Training has developed a consistent swing that results in very straight shots.

Marc Fagan - marc@edwinwattslc.com - Director of Instruction, owner and manager of Arlington, and Dallas, Texas locations. Marc has played golf for over 17 years and has taught thousands of students, pros, of all ages (5 -90 years) for over 10 years. His love of the game shows as he excels in the ability to lower anyone's golf score. He is a scratch golfer and recently passed the PGA Player Ability Test and is now in the prestigious PGA Apprentice Program to become PGA Certified to further develop his golf skills.

Travis Leffler- Travis is the General Manager/Director of Instruction at the Arlington Learning Center.  He is a PGA Apprentice actively working toward membership.  Travis’ past experience in the golf business includes the title of Assistant Professional at multiple clubs in the metroplex.  His passion for teaching has quickly led him to develop the ability to properly diagnose flaws in a golf swing and the talent to use a player’s natural instincts to mold a fundamentally sound and repeatable golf swing.  Travis’ ability to help students improve their golf swing and golf scores has made him an integral part of the Edwin Watts Golf Academy in just a short time.  He enjoys working with new students of all ages and skill levels, and it is his main goal to help each one improve their golf game.

Vernon and Ashley Jones are the owners and operators of Edwin Watts Golf Academy Birmingham. Ever since the age of seven when Vernon’s Father introduced him to the game, Vern has studied and loved golf. He has competed at every level from high school to professional. However, his passion has always been to teach.

Vernon’s dream came true in December of 2007 when Marc Fagan offered him and his wife ownership of the Birmingham location. Vernon has taught golf all across the state of Alabama. His career as a professional began at TimberCreek Golf Club in Daphne where he was able to study under Golf Digest top 100 instructor, Ron Gring. Quickly, Vernon established a student base and was well respected as a promising instructor in the Alabama Gulf Coast region. Vernon moved from TimberCreek to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail where he was able to continue teaching as well as conduct Junior and Ladies clinics. His friends and students alike have always been amazed by his ability to identify swing flaws without the use of high speed cameras and/ or swing analysis software.

Tim Powley, manager at the Round Rock (Austin) location, is a Class A PGA Professional with extensive video instruction experience.  His background includes 10 years as a lead instructor at the Pinehurst Golf Advantage School, 6 years as the Director of Instruction at the Columbia Lakes School of Golf and 7 years as a Head Professional.  He is recognized by Titleist as a certified club-fitter and honorary staff member.
