Andy Cude works in golf through MAC Design and Development, an operation that brings a design and development perspective to the game rather than a purely instructional one — which gives his understanding of golf course requirements, playing conditions, and how course design decisions affect the student-golfer experience a practical depth that most teaching professionals don't carry. His background in course design and development means he can situate instruction within a broader understanding of why courses are built the way they are and how design intent shapes the demands placed on every shot.
