Adam Burkett is a new assistant golf professional at Willow Point Golf & Country Club. A Trussville native, he grew up visiting Lake Martin and graduated the PGA Golf Management program at Mississippi State University. Burkett realized he had a gift in making golf fun for juniors at his first job at Vestavia Hills Country Club.

“We initiated the Operation 36 program through our directors of instruction and made it our flagship program for junior golf. We applied for and were rewarded as a Top 100 facility, and I also was named a Top 100 coach in the world,” Burkett said.
