Dave Harner

Dave has been an integral part of the PGTCA since 1995 when French Lick Springs Resort was named the Midwestern Hub for continuing education training and certification courses! Dave began his career in 1979 as an assistant to Indiana Legend PGA Professional Fred Wampler. Under Fred's' tutelage, Dave became a PGA Class A Professional in 1992 and began a stellar career which has peaked as not only the Director of Golf at French Lick Springs Resort but also as the Director of Food and Beverage and Landscape and Grounds at the nostalgic resort!

As a PGTCA board member, Dave is one of the reasons the PGTCA has flourished by his constant blue-collar work ethic. In 1987 Dave became Director of Golf at French Lick Springs Resort, home of the infamous "Hill Course". He has built awareness in the local golfing community by incorporating countywide youth and adult golf clinics! His keen ability to educate his staff in a "common sense" fashion makes him one of our most pleasant PGA and PGTCA Professionals to work for, having over 40 employees under his command.

Dave was awarded Merchandiser of the Year for the exceptional sales and marketing techniques he employs in his Pro Shop! Dave's knowledge in the customer/client relationship field allows him to enjoy the time he spends as a Professional on the range with students, and also aiding and developing PGTCA members. His accessibility and success as a Director are some of the many reasons why PGTCA is proud to have Dave as one of our board members!
