Whether it’s coaching the world’s best players, developing innovative curriculum for PGA Professionals or helping recreational golfers break through and hit the ball better than before, Joe Hallett has a singular mission: Simplify the game for maximum success.

A GOLF Magazine Top-100 Teacher, Hallett has served the PGA of America in several roles, most notably General Manager of the PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance, the organization’s clearinghouse for research, development, teaching aids and philosophies in instructing and learning the game of golf.

Currently, Hallett is Lead Instructor for the PGA Professional Golf Management Program and PGA Master Professional Checkpoint Faculty. An expert in golf instruction, technology and development, he helps design curriculum for the PGA Certified Professional Program used by PGA of America’s 27,000 members.

The 20-year PGA Certified Professional also serves as Director of Instruction at Vanderbilt Legends Club Golf Academy and coaches LPGA Tour major winner Stacy Lewis.

Prior to coaching Lewis, Hallett also played a key role in the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open victory of Inbee Park. Only age 19, Park became the youngest winner in the history of that championship.
