About

Nancy Tawney turned professional in 1972 and played the Australian Ladies Golf Tour from 1974-1978.

Touring Australia, she played in exhibition matches and gave clinics around the countryside and taught on board the Princess Cruise Lines all around the South Pacific.

Nancy has been teaching golf since 1974. She has participated in two U.S. Open Championships and played on the Women’s Professional Golf Tour from 1978-1982. Due to health challenges, Nancy left competitive golf and became a business owner in her hometown which led to a degree of Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D.) from the Trinity College of Natural Health in 1999.

Always wanting to learn more to help her students enjoy the game, she joined the LPGA Teaching & Club Professionals in 2004. With the ongoing classes of the LPGA T&CP, Nancy has been able to incorporate that knowledge in her instruction.

When she is not teaching or playing golf, Nancy can be seen walking or throwing a frisbee for her Jack Russell terriers. She also enjoys cooking, photography, occasional trap shooting, sharing information about essential oils/herbs, and making soap.

Nancy can be contacted at Sea Trail Golf Resort, Sunset Beach, NC where she teaches full time.
