Dave Crosby
Academy Director/Head Professional
Eaglequest Coquitlam
Dave has been a member of the Canadian Professional Golfers Association for 30 years. The first 13 years were working as a golf professional at several prominent golf facilities: As an assistant pro at Eaglecrest Golf Course on Vancouver Island and Burnaby Mountain Golf Course in Burnaby, BC. Later he worked as an associate professional at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver and then as head professional for Hillcrest Golf and Country Club in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
He has been very passionate about teaching people how to improve their golf game. He finds it very satisfying to see people learn this wonderful game of golf. For the past 17 year he has specialized as a teaching professional working in the Vancouver area.
During breaks from a busy teaching program he began travelling to Arizona for golf schools and to Mexico, Scotland, Thailand for golf vacations. These were such fantastic experiences for me that I wanted to share them with my students and friends. So I started Crosby Vacations and began specializing in Escorted Golf Vacations.
"Why take a golf lesson or join me on an Escorted Golf Vacations?"
My Answer: Life is to short not too "Live outside the box and enjoy what you love today"
