Jessica Schnebly
Assistant Golf Professional
Jessica was born in Daytona Beach, Florida and raised in nearby Ormond Beach. She played a variety of sports growing up, but took up golf at the age of 14. She competed for Seabreeze High School before moving on to compete at the collegiate level. In 2005, Jessica earned a scholarship to Daytona State College. After two successful years and two births to the National Junior College Athletic Association’s National Championship, Jessica moved up the ladder to compete for a NCAA Division 1 school. She received a full scholarship to the University of South Florida, where she completed both her athletic as well as academic careers. In May of 2009, she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelors of Sciences in Business Administration & Marketing.
Jessica loves to be active and spends most of her time outdoors. Whether it’s on the golf course, on the boat fishing, or at the beach – she loves to be outside when the sun is shining. Jessica also loves kids, which is why she spends what is left of her time tutoring elementary, middle, and high school students in various levels of math. Jessica’s most recent endeavor is turning professional by joining the LPGA Teaching and Club Professionals. Currently she is a Class B member with ambitions to reach class A status. She aspires to teach all ages, but would like to be involved in helping bring more junior programs to the area and entice more kids to get involved in the game of golf. Jessica believes picking up a club at the age of 14 completely changed her life and would like to see more take advantage of the opportunities and friendships that the game of golf provides.
