Kelli Fry
PGA of Canada Associate Professional
I obtained my PGA status while working at the Heritage Pointe Golf Club in Dewinton, AB in 1993.
The following year I had the opportunity to move to Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club and from 1994 to 2004, I had the privilege of working for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts as an Associate Golf Professional assuming the role of Head Golf Professional, in 2001.
Throughout my PGA career, I’ve worked for a number of exceptional facilities including Silvertip Resort in Canmore, Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club and the Calgary Golf & Country Club. From 2016 to 2021, I focused solely on my passion for teaching building a loyal student base at All Shot's Driving range in Calgary until it was forced to close due to the Calgary ring road construction. Moving my students to Springbank Links Golf Club in 2022, I was fortunate enough to teach there until relocating to Brentwood Bay, BC in the fall of 2023.
Previously recognized as “Teacher of the Year” for Northern Alberta in 1999 and the Bronze award in Canada by Score’s Golfers’ Choice awards in July of 2003, I enjoy working with students of all levels and abilities, especially those new to the sport.
