Shay Blechynden is a native of California, born and raised in San Diego. Growing up with a flair for
the outdoors, Shay has always been passionate about activities in nature. After years of Fishing,
Surfing and Sports, Shay discovered Golf in 1989 and never looked back.

Since that time, Shay has developed an excellent reputation as a 19 year PGA Golf Professional who
is as good of a player and teacher as he is friendly. A few years ago Shay made the decision to leave
his successful teaching business to once again become a club professional at the ultra exclusive
Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. During this time Shay has been able to round out his already impressive
resume, learning very much during that experience.

Shay enjoys learning new things and is currently exploring the worlds of Photography and Digital
Media.
Some of Shay's proud accomplishments:

Over 13 Professional Golf Victories
6 Holes in One (2 in competition)
Completed two Marathons and a Triathlon
Created and produced his own Golf

Named PGA Teacher of the Year-SD 2001
