Craig Bocking, Jr. grew up in Huntsville, AL. His love and passion for the game of golf began when he first started playing at the age of nine. Although, he played numerous sports throughout his life, they all paled in comparison to his love for the game of golf.
Bocking played competitively while earning an A. S. at Wallace State Community College. He transferred to the University of North Alabama where he obtained his B.S. in Marketing in 2002. He decided to turn his passion into a career by earning his PGA Class A Membership in 2006. He married his wife, Rachel, in 2005 and has an 8 year old daughter, Anna Kate. He shares his enthusiasm for golf with his daughter, who is already teeing it up on the courses with her daddy and enjoying attending the many junior clinics and camps he conducts.
Bocking is a passionate student of the game and becoming one of the most sought after coaches in America. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his coaching with a culmination of 15 years of research and study improving golf performance. His unique coaching style inspires golfers of all ability levels.
