teaching pro

Golf swing mentor

A teaching pro is a professional athlete—usually in golf or tennis—who earns a living primarily by giving lessons rather than competing in tournaments.

Teaching pros work at country clubs, resorts, and sports academies: The teaching pro adjusted her grip on the club.

Distinguished from touring pros, who compete professionally, though some do both.
