The 2026 Player/Teacher Forum at Lake Merced Golf Club brought together some of the brightest minds in the game for an unforgettable experience of learning, collaboration, and hands-on instruction.

Day 1 kicked off with insights from Milo Lines, PGA and John Ortega, PGA, followed by Greg ...Manley, PGA and Duane Anderson from TaylorMade’s Kingdom, who delivered a behind-the-scenes look at a world-class fitting experience. The day featured live fittings on the range and wrapped with a Q&A highlighting key takeaways.

Day 2 shifted focus to the short game, featuring Parker McLachlin (The Short Game Chef) and Ralph Bauer, PGA, who led live demonstrations on green reading, and putting. The afternoon brought deeper dives into their teaching philosophies, followed by an engaging Q&A.

We closed out the event with a fireside chat featuring Jon Horner, PGA and Laird Small, PGA MP, joined by their students Kaleiya Romero and Kirk Triplett - a powerful way to connect coaching with real player results.

Huge thank you to our partners FitGolf @fitgolfsac and Golfzon America @golfzon_america , and to the incredible staff at Lake Merced for helping make the 2026 Player/Teacher Forum such a success.

Already looking forward to next year 👏
