Dakota Showalter ~ First Assistant Golf Professional
Dakota found his passion for golf at the age of 26 while living in Nashville, Tennessee. After being introduced to the game by a friend, Dakota immediately knew that he wanted to turn this hobby into a profession. Upon moving back to Colorado in 2020, he gained employment here at The Club at Pradera working part time as an outside services attendant and worked his way up to the position of "1st Assistant Golf Professional" in just over 4 years. Dakota's own love of the game is what drives his desire to help others improve their skills and learn to enjoy this wonderful game. He attributes much of his teaching style to his own coach & mentor, Dennis Murray, who passed in late 2025. Dennis was a phenomenal golfer and an even better coach. With his deep understanding of how the mind works, Dennis knew how to create effective learning without interference from the conscious brain, or as he called it: the "Bad Caddie". Dakota learned from Coach Murray for 3 years and has used what he learned to help dozens of his own students lower their scores and increase their fun on the course! Dakota loves to work with all ranges of golfers but especially loves to watch the brand new golfer's face light up the first time they hit that perfect drive! No matter your experience level, if you are looking to take your game to the next stage, Dakota is ready to help you play better golf and have better fun!!
