A true midwestern boy from Kansas, Landon Christie made his journey to Arizona in 1999. As a graduate of Arizona State University, he wears his pitchfork with pride. Landon has been a PGA Professional since 2005, a certified Titliest fitting Specialist since 2013, and a golfer since birth. Landon’s passion for working with and teaching people of all ages is nothing new. He’s been an integral part of clubs in Arizona, including DC Ranch Country Club and Terra Vita. His patience, understanding of the dynamics of a pure golf swing, and love of the game is a rare and valuable combination.
Landon’s other passion is family. His wife, Shannon, is a well-established realtor in the community, and his daughters dance more than they sleep. Their family bond is something wonderful to see. Landon is a true triple threat: family, love, and the love of golf.
