Darrin Gee, Founder of Darrin Gee's Spirit of Golf Academy, developed the Seven Principles of Golf™ after becoming frustrated with his own game. He focused on improving his mental and inner game skills and was amazed by the dramatic shift in his game and its effect on other areas of his life.

He has since received national recognition as a leader in the field of mental and inner golf, and has been credited for growing the game of golf. Darrin has personally worked with over 5,000 clients and more than 7,500 have attended his golf academy.
