Rick Heard

Husband, dad, PGA golf professional, teacher, computer programmer, businessman, carpenter, handyman… author. I always wonder how I will answer that request to "tell readers who you are," because "who I am" changes by the day (and often by the minute).

I love solving problems and teaching others, although it took me many years to discover this. I spend my time helping to manage a busy golf academy, teaching golf, and coaching our son. Although he is becoming an elite golfer, my "Daddy Caddy" books aren't about him. Rather, they are about relationships, communication, and being the best you can be at what you do. In my case, the "do" happens to be golf, but it could be almost any sport or activity. The lessons I have learned through my experiences are in these books and are those of life.

I have always found that I can write quickly and easily; that my words just seem to jump from my fingers to the keyboard. Somehow, I don't usually need to edit and rewrite things, and my first draft frequently becomes the final. I hope you enjoy the "Daddy Caddy" books and my more focused golf instruction books (most are designed for golf instructors).
