My Background 

Franklin Bursick spent most of his life growing up in Westfield, Indiana. He attended the University of Indianapolis and Ball State University. Playing 5 sports at different times in Franklin’s youth eventually led him to falling in love with Golf. After winning multiple Collegiate Tour events and Amateur Tournaments Franklin took his opportunity to turn Pro in the Fall of 2018. 

Coaching/Swing Instructor

When Franklin is home from competing, Franklin is a source of knowledge for different types of Golfers. He is available for private instruction and on-course lessons at Arcadian Shores Golf Club in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Franklin was once a full-time Instructor for the Golf School of Myrtle Beach for over 3 years, and taught Military Golf Clinics for 2 years. Away from his own dedicated studies he has been fortunate to spend time and compete with some of the best players in the world. Once players get to know Franklin they come to him for his ability to individualize every golfer on their path to improvement.

Mini-Tour Founder 

Franklin came in with the goal of impacting the Professional game with the founding of the Gator Professional Golf Tour in the Spring of 2020. The Tour is based in the Southeast: it gives Professionals, College Players, and Amateurs a reliable opportunity to compete and prepare.
