Congratulations to Heather Angell, HP’s PGA Director of Golf Instruction! Heather was recently named the 2024 South FL PGA Southwest Chapter Teacher of the Year. She also won this award in 2021. The PGA Southwest Chapter goes from Punta Gorda to Marco Island and includes Charlotte, Hendry, Lee, and Collier counties.


The award bestows special recognition on a PGA golf professional who has performed outstanding services as a golf instructor. Several criteria are considered including overall performance as a golf professional at his/her facility, leadership, service, ability to inspire other professionals, promotion and growth of the game, national impact on teaching and golf instruction, junior golf involvement, innovative contributions to golf instruction, and articles written for publication in books and magazines. Teachers are nominated by their superiors and/or peers. Once nominated, an application is sent to each nominee. A committee of one’s peers makes the final decision once the application is submitted.


Heather works hard every day to elevate her teaching to give her students the best instruction possible so they can enjoy the game more.
