Christopher Smith is the PGA Lead Instructor at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, OR, and at the KOR Physical Therapy and Athletic Wellness Clinic in Beaverton, OR.
Pumpkin Ridge has been host to numerous USGA events, including the 1996 U. S. Amateur Championship which saw Tiger Woods capture his unprecedented third straight title. The KOR is a unique facility offering physical and massage therapy, acupuncture, hypnotherapy/guided imagery and nutrition counseling, to compliment the golf instructional experience available in its state-of-the-art sports studio.
Christopher’s instruction blends cutting edge technology with experience, knowledge, and insight to produce a learning experience that is both effective and enjoyable. Through the use of unique tools and concepts, he is able to expedite the acquisition and changing of processes inherent to improving one’s golf swing – and overall game. His coaching emphasizes the building of pertinent skills for the individual, with a holistic focus: technique, physical and mental preparation and training, and the importance of on-course play, are all a part of Christopher’s approach to better golf performance.
In addition to his skills as a learning facilitator and coach, Christopher is a top ranked speed golfer and leading proponent of the game. In 2005, at the Chicago Speed Golf classic, he set a world record by firing a 65 in a little over 44 minutes carrying only six clubs.
