Alex Forsyth
I have taught over 600 hours of lessons in my time at Falcon’s Fire to a diverse range of students from Juniors to Seniors, both male and female. I have managed several week long junior programs, and enjoy teaching using different techniques and circumstances so that my students are able to get the most out of my teaching. There isn’t anyone that I can’t help enjoy their game more extensively.

David Sheehan
David grew up in Michigan and is a graduate of Michigan State University. He has been playing golf since the age of 8 and enjoys playing competitively when the opportunity is available but his true passion in golf is teaching. He has been teaching at Falcon’s Fire Golf Club since 2005.
In 2006 David started a junior golf school focusing on at school after school golf programs to develop junior golfers from kindergarten to eighth grade. Because the classes are conducted at the school in the after school hours it allows the kids a great way to learn the game of golf in a fun and safe environment. The program has grown to more the 15 schools and 300 students.
