Zander Jerkins

Lead Instructor | PGA Associate

1. Experience

After turning professional in 2012, Zander competed on multiple professional tours before a snowboarding accident in 2019 brought his playing career to an unexpected pause. While he still competes in select tournaments, his focus has shifted fully to coaching golfers of all ages and skill levels.

Drawing from years of competitive experience, Zander helps players simplify the game, build confidence, and develop repeatable swings that hold up on the course. When he's not teaching, he caddies for professional golfers throughout the United States and Europe, spending recent fall seasons in Italy supporting players through Q-School competition.

4. Favorite Club and Shots

Give me a wedge and a target. The short game has always been my favorite part of golf, and I love the creativity, precision, and touch that scoring shots demand.

Torrey Pines and Balboa Park Golf Course (18)

6. Why I’m Excited to Be Part of SuperSwings / What I Enjoy Most About Helping Golfers

What excites me most about SuperSwings is being part of a growing, relationship-driven business that genuinely puts golfers first. The combination of advanced technology, a focused teaching environment, and versatile simulator software creates an ideal setting for player development.

The most rewarding part of coaching isn't the golf itself - it's watching students improve. Seeing a player finally understand a movement, gain confidence, or achieve something they've been working toward is more fulfilling than any shot I've ever hit or tournament I've ever played.
