Nina Pryor
Teaching Professional

Nina is a former Windy Hill LPGA teaching professional who is thrilled to be working again with her mentor and friend, Janet Phillips. She knows first hand that golf doesn't have to be complex or difficult. Nina has taught hundreds of women to play the best golf of their lives and have fun doing it! Respected by her peers and students, Nina’s professionalism, honesty and integrity have inspired players of all ages and skill levels.


Originally from Midlothian, Virginia, Nina began playing golf as a member of Stonehenge Country Club. An avid competitor in Richmond Women’s Golf Association, Nina was consistently among the top players every year in the City Amateur.

Her love of the game was the catalyst for become a teaching professional. Her resume highlights working for several area golf and country clubs including Royal Virginia and Salisbury. Notably, while at Salisbury, Nina created the first Pee-Wee golf program for 3 to 6 year olds and developed a Girls’ Junior Golf Club. Nina fanned her girls’ golf fever by taking them on trips to the LPGA McDonalds major at the DuPont Country Club in Delaware. While the girls enjoyed the major, Nina joined other LPGA teaching pros to give a clinic to hundreds of girls who attended.

Nina’s reputation for creatively combining lessons with fun was never more evident than when she presented the “Whine & Cheese” golf clinic served by men in tuxedos at Salisbury Country Club. The membership is still talking about that one!

Nina also found time to teach independently at Bogey’s Golf in Goochland to make golf lessons accessible to women who were not club members.

Nina served as an ad hoc staff member for the University of Richmond’s outreach to corporate business woman teaching a wide range of educational programs for all skill levels. Spinning off from that association, she was instrumental in the founding of Golf Fore Women, a non-profit local association of women professionals.

In 2000, Nina took a break from teaching golf. She was engaged by several local sports medicine orthopedic practices where she combined her sports expertise with physicians and therapists to solve patient’s health problems.

In December, Janet made Nina an offer to return to teaching golf at Windy Hill and Nina accepted. The timing was perfect! One of Nina’s key responsibilities will be working directly with the members of EWGA. Plan to meet Nina at EWGA’s kickoff event in March. It’s sure to be a great 2008!
