Sherry Dircks, Golf Coach, Teacher, and Player Development Professional

A familiar face is back at Cottonwood Palo Verde!

I’m excited to return to Cottonwood Palo Verde, where I previously served as Director of Instruction and Head Golf Professional at Palo Verde. It’s wonderful to be back in the community, and I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting many new golfers along the way.

As an LPGA Class A Life Member with more than 30 years of experience in golf instruction, player development, and program leadership, I’ve had the privilege of helping golfers of all ages and abilities discover their potential and enjoy the game.

My career has taken me from private club instruction to coaching at IMG Academy and leadership roles with several First Tee organizations. Along the way, I’ve developed golf programs, mentored players and coaches, and helped people build skills and confidence both on and off the course.

Today, my passion is helping adult golfers enjoy the game at every stage of their journey. Whether you’re brand new to golf, returning after time away, looking to improve your scores, or simply hoping to feel more comfortable on the course, my coaching starts with your goals, your experience, and what you want to get out of the game.

My approach goes beyond the golf swing. We’ll work on ball striking, short game, putting, course strategy, practice habits, and the mental side of golf. Most importantly, I want you to understand your game, know what to practice, and feel confident taking what you learn onto the course.

My philosophy is simple:

Learn the Game. Understand Your Game. Change Your Game.

I believe golf is about much more than a scorecard. It’s about getting outdoors, staying active, challenging yourself, meeting people, building friendships, and celebrating those little victories that keep us coming back. And yes, it should be fun!

I’m excited to be part of the Cottonwood Palo Verde golf community again. Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or have been playing for years, I’d love to help you enjoy the game more, play with greater confidence, and continue improving.

Let’s get out there, enjoy the game, and have some fun!
