Meet Shannon.

Shannon is a Guthrie, OK native and started playing golf at age 14. By his Senior year of High School, he won Oklahoma Junior Amateur, and was the first 4A individual state champion golfer from Guthrie. He continued playing through college at SWOSU and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. His golf career started as an Assistant at Lincoln Park in OKC. After 19 years working in green grass operations as an assistant and head professional, Shannon was recruited to be the Director of Schools for Graves Golf Academy. This pivotal career move set in motion his love for teaching. In October 2022, Shannon launched Golf by Shannon Friday-an academy of instruction and fitting complemented by cutting-edge technology and Shannon's results-oriented instruction methodology. Shannon and his wife Kristin have been married since 2006 and enjoy faith, family, friends, and beach vacations.

Work hard. Play hard.

With over 25 years of experience in the industry, and a dedication to help others both improve and exceed their own expectations, Shannon has become the most sought-after Golf Instructor in the OKC metro. Even as an instructor, he remains a student of his craft and continues learning and evolving his proven teaching methods (not traditional PGA or the latest technique trends) to best serve his students. He is passionate about a multi-faceted approach to instruction, which includes all the elements of the game. Shannon works hard so you can play hard and enjoy (what he hopes is!) your favorite pastime.

  • It has been said, to keep a happy marriage, "don't have your spouse teach you to play golf". Yet, I can't imagine receiving instruction from anyone else. Not only is Shannon incredibly patient, he has been able to explain and demonstrate concepts in multiple ways until it "clicked" with me. While learning the fundamentals, he also makes it fun. His desire to see me improve has carried me through the frustrations that are inevitable when learning a new sport. I'm excited to share his passion for this game knowing we can have a shared activity we both love.

  • I have been working with Shannon Friday for the past few years now and I have to tell someone about the experience I’ve had and the results I have gotten! Because of Shannon, I have gained 70 yards off the tee, no joke. My average carry went from 260 to 330 (I can prove it because I take pictures of my trackman numbers) and that’s being conservative. Before Shannon, golf was fun - but now it’s unreal. I am driving par 4s and almost every par 5 is reachable in two, so I am shooting the best rounds of my life. The funny thing is, I am middle-aged with lots of injuries and still getting these results. And unbelievably I am still noticing gains!! My entire family is now working with Shannon, from my 70-year-old parents to my 12-year-old son and they are noticing incredible gains too! It’s insane, I have never heard of results like these from several different age groups and body types too. I can’t thank Shannon enough for transforming my golf game and I am so excited to see how much more my game improves!!
