“PRO” FILE – USGTF MEMBER SEAN MOORE

By Sean Moore

Sean Moore has been a teaching professional in the Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia area for the past five years. After nearly 15 years as an athletic director in the private-school world, he decided to change career paths to be able to spend more time with his family while continuing his joy of working with people through sport.

Moore played basketball in college, and following a career-ending injury, he decided to continue through graduate school to earn a Masters in Education. After a successful career in athletics, including Athletic Director of the Year and the State Award of Merit, he wanted to return to the game of golf, which he loved as a kid. He was given an opportunity to begin his golf instruction career with a mentor at East Potomac Golf Links in Washington. After building a strong group of clients, he was then asked to join Rudy’s Golf and Sports Bar as the director of golf instruction in Alexandria, Virginia.

He loves working with students who are new to the game and individuals who want to learn the sport in a relaxed environment with a less-technical format. He greatly focuses on core fundamentals that will allow students to enjoy their time on the course with family and friends, building lifelong memories. He believes that golf can be such a tool in life in that regard and that it is the one place you can learn a tremendous amount about yourself, conduct a meeting, witness constant, natural beauty and share time with partners, colleagues and friends alike.

Moore cherishes seeing the growth of his students and when they call or text about a gorgeous course, a personal best score or a skill to work on in their next lesson together. He loves spending time with his wife and son, and truly embraces the moments he has shared on a golf course with everyone, including his boss, mentors, students and his dad.
