Fraser Mulholland - CPGA Class 'A' Head Teaching Professional
Joining the Canadian PGA in 1992, Fraser now has over 11 years of experience in professional golf instruction. Having taught over two thousand students, Fraser has worked with all age levels and abilities of golfers, from the complete beginner to the Tournament Professional. While teaching some of the best, Fraser has also become one of the most accomplished Professional Golfers in British Columbia. Winning his first Professional tournament in 1993, Fraser has accumulated a total of 22 victories at the Professional level and has qualified for two U.S. PGA Tour events. Fraser attributes a lot of his success in playing and instructing due to his background in studies at UBC. Having graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Fraser feels that this has helped with his ability to adapt to both his students' needs, as well as the conditions he confronts on the golf course himself.

James Legault- CPGA Class 'A' Teaching Professional
James was born into an extended avid golf family. His golfing career started at age 8 and he hasn’t looked back since. With many junior successes in Ontario, James graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and finally landed himself in Vancouver in 1993. Not really sure what career move he wanted, James delved into something he loved to do- GOLF! With short stints at Point Grey Golf and Country Club and Squamish Valley Golf and Country Club, James landed himself at Seymour Creek in the spring of 1995. With close to 10 years of experience at a driving range, James has seen many forms of the golf swing. The one key trademark of these swings James has witnessed is the inability to be consistent. James’ philosophy on instruction is to help the student focus on the simplest fundamentals so that each player at any level can adapt to a personalized program to access these fundamentals every time. James welcomes all golfers to Seymour Creek and hopes you enjoy any of the lesson programs provided.
