Ted and Buck met when they both attended the USGTF qualifying school in Port St. Lucie, Florida, in March 2010. In their words, “We were taught by both Mark Harman and Bob Wyatt. We became instant friends at the USGTF school due to many similarities, and started immediately sharing ideas and stories about our mutual passion for the great game of golf. We have since formed a business together titled Ted & Buck Golf Enterprises, LLC. Ted & Buck now has its own website, www.TedAndBuckGolf.com, and has also released an iPhone app called T-Pro Golf Caddy thru the Apple store.

“The website hopes to reach as many improving golfers as possible to teach golf through the use of video instruction and a golf blog. Our iPhone app, T-Pro Golf Caddy, is a portable device that golfers can use on the golf course to assist them with setup and execution to hit ALL the shots needed during a round. We hope as fellow USGTF instructors you check out our website, as well as visit the Apple store for our iPhone app. These two products can definitely help your students improve their games!”
