“I’m looking forward to the coming golf season and the opportunity to help golfers of all abilities to learn and improve their skills.”

Adam enjoys teaching juniors and beginners especially, and creates an environment of learning that makes this challenging game as fun as possible for his students.
Adam is returning to Michigan after six seasons in Buffalo with his fiancé Kimberly and is thrilled to be setting roots in Ann Arbor.
Teaching Philosophy
Every golfer has the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful game. Each player is unique, and as such, my approach to helping them improve should also be unique. The foundation of a good coaching relationship starts with trust and communication. Every student of mine will receive personalized instruction that takes into account their goals as a player, their available time to practice, their physical limitations, and the ultimate goal of helping them enjoy this game for a lifetime.
“I cannot wait to begin helping the students of Lake Forest Golf Club become as hooked on this great game as I am . Whether a student wants more distance off the tee, better putting and short game, or even competitive aspirations, I hope to help Ann Arbor’s golfers achieve their goals and reach their golfing potential.”

Part of the inaugural recruiting class for the EMU women’s golf program, Jennings was the 1998 Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Year before an official league championship was held, and then followed it up by collecting Second Team All-MAC honors in 1999 and First Team All-MAC accolades in 2000. At the 2000 MAC Championships, Jennings finished fourth as a senior with a final score of 226 (78-75-73) as the team recorded a third-place showing.
The medalist at the 1999 Lady Gopher Invitational, Jennings collected honors off the course as a 1998 Academic All-MAC honoree as well as a 1999 Division I Scholar by the National Golf Coaches Association.

From 2006-11, Jennings was the Director of Golf Programs with the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA). During her time at the EWGA, she led the EWGA Championship to a record participation year and earned an ING Industry Honors Award in Tournament Service.
In 2012, Jennings was hired as the director of communications/player development coordinator for the Middle Atlantic Section of the PGA. She returned to Michigan in 2015 as the Director of Player Development for Golf Digest’s 42nd best public golf course in the country, Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club, and sister courses Pine Trace Golf Club and Cherry Creek Golf Club.
Jennings earned her class A membership from the PGA of America in 2007. She also is a member of the Michigan PGA Board of Directors, the chair of the Michigan PGA Growth of the Game Committee, and a member of the PGA’s Employment Committee.
