Coach Marcus Sapp

Marcus Sapp has been part of the game his whole life. He began as a caddie at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, home of the PGA Tour Championship and the childhood course of Bobby Jones. He went on to play professionally for many years, competing in the Hawaiian Open while teaching at the Kapalua Village Golf Academy on Maui.

A graduate of the Golf Academy of America’s instructor training program in San Diego, Marcus has taught at some of the most prestigious facilities in the world, including Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, Kapalua Golf Club, and Windermere Golf Club in Georgia, where he also served as a Nike staff athlete. He holds certifications from GolfTEC University, Stack & Tilt, and the Bill Madonna Golf Academy, and has earned honors and teaching accreditations from top instructors including Bill Madonna, Jerry King, and Mike Bender. As a GolfTEC certified personal coach in Georgia and California, he taught sequential lessons built on proven models.

Today, Marcus is a Senior Instructor at Premier Golf Academy and Head Coach of the Nike Junior Golf Camps. Earlier, he was head coach of the boys’ and girls’ golf teams at Seabury Hall in Maui. He teaches golfers of every age and skill level, from first-timers to seasoned players looking to lower their scores. He is also a sought-after TaylorMade club specialist, fitting players throughout Southern California for equipment that matches their swing.

Marcus’s passion for the game reaches well beyond the course. A Youth for Understanding cultural exchange took him to Saga, Japan, and he brings that global perspective to every lesson.
