Jens Klemschke golf instruction

Maybe his poise comes from a lifetime of premier instruction. It started with Jens Klemschke, the head professional at Highland Country Club since 1997. Klemschke remembers watching David since he was 5 when his father, Chris Chung, would teach him how to hold the club."I knew almost immediately he was special," Klemschke said. "When he was 7 or 8, he was hitting golf shots most adults can't hit. It was amazing how the ball was coming off the Woods Is More Relaxed Now club face."David moved on to the late golf professional L.B. Floyd, who guided two other Fayetteville men, his son, Raymond, and Chip Beck, to successful careers in golf."Mr. Floyd worked with David when he was 9 or 10," Elise said. "He was the first one that said he was special. We thought he was just being nice."David was home-schooled, which made it easier to accommodate his practice schedule. He entered a special program at Fayetteville Technical Community College when he was 14 to finish high school and attended a golf academy in Orlando, Fla., where school work and golf instruction were combined.When it came time to pick a college, David had his choice of scholarship offers.However, there was really only one college choice for David, who grew up idolizing former Stanford golfer Tiger Woods."He chose Stanford because Tiger did," Elise said. "When he visited Stanford, it was really special to him."
