Description

Clyde Johnston is a golf course architecture and designer based out of Hilton Head Island, SC. After growing up the son of a golf professional, and being around golf his entire life, at the recommendation of some of the era’s best architects he went on to earn a degree in landscape architecture from N.C. State University. Soon after he got his first job with William C. Byrd & Associates, a golf community and course design firm, designing in the Atlanta area. Not long after that was sent to Hilton Head Island, SC to consult and do design work, and never left. Clyde is one of the most sought-after architects in the Southeast and country and has designed golf courses around the world. Clyde’s fingerprints are on some of the Lowcountry’s most beautiful golf courses. Now in his 70’s he still loves what he does and continues to work with many golf courses and developers on developing new courses or giving dated courses a new look.   Sponsors: Get your 15% discount on your next order of JustThrive Probiotic at https://justthrivehealth.com/ (use code: GOLF360) Looking to play one of the best golf courses in the Hilton Head Island area?

Golf 360 came about from a theory I wrote a decade ago called The Golf Paradigm. It is something I came up with after spending over 30 years in golf and meeting a lot of exceptional people. Some of them were within the industry while others were outside of it but they all had phenomenal information that helped me improve. Whether it was a world-renowned coach, genius club fitter or engineer, ground breaking health professional or therapist, fantastic mental coach or psychologist or someone that understood how to utilize all of these to the benefit of the whole, they are some amazing people. There were also many others, all highly accomplished and from various fields; the business world, other professional athletes, and many more that were kind enough to pass along the knowledge they had acquired over a lifetime of work. Not only did their input help me as a touring professional, it also helped me in life and with my current teaching position with the The Golf Paradigm Academy. I wanted to take my good fortune of having access to so many people and bring that to you so you could apply it to your own game and life. With such a wide array of people I thought why not call it 'Golf 360'?
