Download Executive Summary synopsis
Adam Schriber is recognized by peers and multiple golf media as one of the top 100 instructors across the globe, and a pioneer in the integration of fitness, biomechanical-influenced instruction, and digital technology tools.
Mr. Schriber’s lifelong commitment to golf started early, caddying and playing in tournaments in Florida. Adam graduated from the PGA of America Golf Management University Program at Ferris State University in Michigan, B.S (Business).
Adam has been a PGA member since 1987; a Michigan PGA Member since 2002.
After graduation from Ferris, Adam pursued a playing career, rising to the PGA Nationwide Tour [now known as PGA Tour Korn Ferry], and the PGA Tour. Injuries derailed Adam’s playing career, and his focus evolved to teaching, with emphasis on golf fitness and biomechanical performance.
When legendary golf instructor David Leadbetter started Leadbetter Golf Academy, Adam Schriber was among his initial hires. Leadbetter Academies eventually grew to 135 instructors at 27 sites worldwide. Over 10 years Adam rose quickly to Director of Instruction for all the USA locations. In 2001 Mr Leadbetter sold the USA business to what became IMG Golf Academies, and Adam struck out on his own in instruction, technology, fitness and golf management.
Adam served as Director of Golf and Instruction at The Landmark Academy by Performax, and Director of Golf Applications for Skill Technologies 3 D Motion Analysis Systems. Adam!s instructional and management skills helped turn around the fortunes of Roaring Fork Golf Club – Aspen, CO and Castle Hills – Dallas TX. In Dallas, Adam revitalized an Arnold Palmer Golf Academy, added golf for PE credit in local schools, and achieved an astonishing 100% college golf scholarship rate, producing 3 NCAA Div 1 All-Americans, including US Women’s Open Champion Brittany Lang.
This was also the time when Adam began working with a young Anthony Kim, who rocketed to the top of Junior Golf ( AJGA), All-American status at the Univ. of Oklahoma, and the PGA Tour. In 6 short years, Mr Kim won 3 times on Tour, had 22 top 10 finishes, earned over $12 million, and helped lead USA teams to winning Walker Cup, Ryder Cup and President Cup victories. Unfortunately, a serious injury cut short his stellar playing career, but Mr. Schriber continues with Mr. Kim as Instructor and Friend.
For family reasons, Mr. Schriber relocated to Michigan, where he lead instruction programs to new levels at Crystal Mountain Resort, High Pointe GC and The Kingsley Club in Northern Michigan. Golf Magazine recognized Adam as a Top 100 teacher in 2009 and every year since.
Adam joined LochenHeath Golf Club in Williamsburg, MI as Director-Instruction where he continues today and and where, in response to rising demand, Adam also founded Tour Prep Golf. TPG is focused on professional golfers seeking to qualify for PGA Tours, perform at a high level to stay on Tour, or to achieve a return to Tour playing privileges. More than 70% of Mr. Schriber’s students have secured status on PGA-Sanctioned Tours [PGA Tour, PGA Tour Korn Ferry, European Tour, PGA Tour Canada, PGA Tour Latinoamerica, Ladies Professional Golf Assn.Tour, Symetra Tour]. Adam’s alumni have been multiple winners on Tour, members of Ryder, President, Solheim, Curtis and Walker Cups, ranked in top 10 in World Rankings, the World’s # 1 ranked Amateur player and multiple College and AJGA All-Americans.
Adam’s Tour Prep Golf (TPG) and affiliation with LochenHeath GC continues today. Many of Adam’s methods and techniques are available at his web site Tour Prep Golf

Adam played a role with the team reviving High Pointe Golf Club, Tom Doak’s legendary first solo design in Traverse City, MI. High Pointe was a public course that earned Top 100 Ranking by Golf Magazine 1993-99 (while Adam was on staff as a young professional). Unfortunately HPGC was a victim of the 2008-09 Great Recession, closed its doors, and the property was sold, with the front 9 used in a hops farm. The back 9 lay in-tact but unused for several years. Private developer Mr. Rod Trump (no relation to the ex-President) purchased the site, and with Mr. Doak, are reviving HPGC with 6 holes from the back 9 along with 12 new ones designed by Mr. Doak on adjacent property. The course is under construction and is on schedule to accept play 2024-25.
Adam advised the developers on the Instruction Academy for the new High Pointe, to be known as the “Lab”, with state of the art technology and methods. The focus will be on fitness, golf training, performance and recovery—where nothing will hold back a player from achieving their goals, and where coaches/instructors and other industry leaders can collaborate and innovate.
Adam was ranked Number 1 Teacher of the Year in Michigan by Golf Digest for 2022-23 and 2024-25.
Adam has been ranked in the Top 100 Instructors by Golf Magazine continuously since 2009, most recently for 2024-25.
In 2020, Adam founded Make a Difference Golf, [MAD Golf] as a Michigan Not-for Profit corporation with the following purpose
“ youth golf and fitness education, instruction, training, and competition, exclusively for charitable, educational, scientific, fostering amateur sports competitions purposes under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code or corresponding section of any future tax code”
Adam is adapting his Tour Prep Golf methods, and integration of biomechanical/fitness/ instruction/digital technology, for high school players seeking to play college golf and earn scholarships, all on a cost-effective basis. The vision is that players from modest backgrounds should have access to the same training and instruction as those from affluent households. The Michigan PGA Foundation awarded MAD Golf Player Development Grants in 2021 and 2022.
