Dallas, Texas native Blakney Boggs began her love affair with golf as a small child.  She started at the age of eight, taking lessons with her father, then at age nine she was recruited to walk inside the LPGA ropes with Sandra Post, an LPGA Nabisco/Dinah Shore winner. From that moment, she fell completely in love with the game. Her father, a former world-ranked doubles tennis player, encouraged his daughter to embrace the sport she loved and strongly believed in taking lessons from the best in the business.

Blakney began her lessons with Dick Grout, the older brother of Jack Grout, who was Jack Nicklaus’ teacher and coach.  She studied with Larry Nabholtz, Jack Mann, and Ben Doyle while developing her swing. Her foundation was strong, and she was off and running. She achieved her first hole-in-one when she was 11 years old.  On the way to college golf, she was a Texas State ranked junior player and broke the course record during a qualifying round at the USGA Girls Jr. in Seattle, Washington at age 17.

Blakney entered USC at age 17 and began her college career.  She played two years in college before being sidelined by an injury, and continued on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts. After college, she worked in golf course development for several years with American Golf Corporation, before deciding that her passion for the game was on the course rather than in the office, and that her gift to the golf world was better used as a teaching professional.

Blakney entered into the PGA apprentice program in 1991 and received her PGA Class-A member status in 1996.  Shortly thereafter she also received her LPGA Class-A member status with the T&CP (Teaching and Club Professional) division of the LPGA tour.

During a life crisis in 2004, when her beloved father was left a quadriplegic from a minor (but unusual) car accident, she reevaluated life and goals.  Blakney loved golf, but had also always wanted to pursue law. So, she entered Liberty University School of Law in Virginia and received her J.D. in 2008.  She is admitted to practice law in California and currently practices civil litigation defense with an Orange County firm.

Still teaching lessons at Oak Creek Golf Club, golf has never been out of Blakney's life for long.  Even during law school, she managed to teach, on a selective basis, for former tour player and Golf Hall of Famer Jane Blalock’s company, who ran the national LPGA Golf Clinics for Women. As she taught more and more women how to use golf for business and enjoy the game; she was reminded there are a lot of golfers — men and women — who can benefit from properly learning the game, and also how to best use golf to bring in business and improve client relations.

Blakney teaches golf to all ages and for all stages of life, inciting passion for this wonderful lifetime game called golf.
