Alan Rasberry is a native of Fort Worth and has played golf since he was old enough to hold a golf club. Growing up, Alan’s best friend was the son of the renowned Roland Harper, Head Golf Professional at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. Starting at an early age, Alan practiced, worked and learned golf under Roland at Colonial, home of the PGA Tour Crowne Plaza Invitational, and grew up following and watching Ben Hogan. Alan attended Western Hills High School, where he lettered twice on the varsity golf team, and attended Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth where he was a walk-on on the golf team.
In 1998, Alan pursued his passion as a vocation and began work at The Golf Academy at Waterchase in Fort Worth (now Jim McLean Golf School), teaching under the direction of Dana Bellenger, world renowned golf instructor who has worked with players from all over the world and from every major professional golf tour. In 2005, Alan earned his PGA certification with his focus being on Teaching and Golf Instruction.
