Laura Kading, Instructor  

Appleton West Graduate (1990) and 4 year letter winner in golf.  I learned through the Winagamie Junior Golf program and later from Mary Beth as a member of her golf team.  During the school year I am a high school teacher at a local high school and have been with the junior golf program since the summer of 2007.  I look forward to working with your child and the fun we will have in learning how to play golf.

Tammy Smith, Instructor

Being an athlete my entire life, playing college basketball and tennis in Oklahoma, I began playing golf only 6 years ago. As an athletic director it became an important part of my job to network. Living in Tulsa gave me opportunities to play on several PGA and LPGA courses. Most notably Southern Hills and Cedar Ridge. I have worked extensively with the First Tee Programs in Tulsa while teaching the values and importance of learning this life long game.  As a retired educator and coach this is my last sport and being given this opportunity to work with Mary Beth and her program is a great honor to me.
