Wendy Werley Bullock
Co-Director of Instruction - LPGA Member

LPGA Class “A” Teaching Professional born in Denver, Colorado has made teaching the game of golf one of her life passions. As a young child she was introduced to the mind body approach by one of Golf’s Greats, Paul Runyan PGA Hall of Famer and winner of the 1934 and 1938 PGA Championship. She played at the University of New Mexico on a full golf scholarship from 1985-1989 then graduating and moving on to play professionally in the United States and Japan through 1994.

In 2001, Wendy trademarked Wellness Golf, a program developed through her collaboration with Dr. Deepak Chopra, one of the world’s most foremost experts in mind body medicine. Her approach incorporates mental discipline, fitness coaching and nutrition, which she attributes to years of “mental toughness training” with world-renowned performance psychologist, Dr. James Loehr.

Wendy's vision is for the student to see beyond the physical mechanics of the game to beneath the surface, all of the little unknowns that are overlooked like diet, physical condition and ones mental state. Recognizing where it comes from and then how to treat it and manage it when it comes up is key.
