Coaches, my name is Dylan Olinger, a 17 year old Junior at Bruton High School in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the current 2 time Virginia Class 2 State Champion. I have been fortunate to have success at the high school level and blessed to have top finishes in tournaments that I have played in.
I am coached by great teachers in all aspects of the game. Keith Jarvis is my swing and tournament prep coach, Steven Yellin, author of Fluid Motion Factor and Director of Instruction is one of my mental influencers, along with Pia Nelson and Lynn Marriot, Co-Owners of Vision54. I train with Lance Gill Performance Institute to make sure I am at my best physically. Also, I am influenced by top ranked golf coaches Mike Bennet and Andy Plummer, putting specialist John Graham and short game specialist James Ridyard.
To me golf is so much more than learning how to swing the club. In today's game, it is also my belief that you have to understand the numbers and science of the game. I am a user of Trackman, K-Vest, and Focus Band which have helped me understand and execute how the swing works, how the body works, and how the mind works.
My goal after high school is to attend a college where I can prepare myself for life after college, lead a golf team to tournament and conference wins, and be a role model for my teammates, other students, and the local community.
