Guiding the Next Generation of Golfers

Mike Hicks Golf started with one clear goal—share real tour experience with young players who want to get better on the greens. After 42 years as a professional caddie, including the iconic 1999 U.S. Open win with Payne Stewart, Mike knew he had more to give. Two years into retirement, he launched this business to help junior and college athletes sharpen their short game with clear, one-on-one instruction.

We’re based in Kingsport, TN, and Mike runs the business solo. That means when you book a session, you’re working directly with someone who’s walked thousands of rounds with top players. There’s no fluff—just honest advice, sharp tools, and reliable guidance you can count on. We focus on what most instructors overlook: putting.

It’s the difference-maker in your round, and it’s where many young golfers fall behind. Mike created this business to fill that gap. Through services like The Arc Master, Putting Instruction, Aim Point Instruction, and the Tour Caddie Collective, we bring meaningful instruction straight from the tour to your game. You’ll leave every session with a clearer stroke, better green reads, and more confidence where it matters.

We’re here to support the next generation of athletes with dependable training built on decades of experience, not trends. Looking ahead, our goals are simple: grow our client base, increase monthly revenue, and keep helping players develop putting skills they can trust when it counts. We appreciate your interest in Mike Hicks Golf. Let’s work together to build your short game the right way.
