b'Throughout Tina Mickelson\'s life she has had a love for the game of golf. Her passion can be traced back to her early childhood when she and her brother, professional golfer Phil Mickelson, began using golf clubs as soon as they could walk.
Shortly after graduating from the University of San Diego in 1991 with a major in Communications and a minor in Business, Tina opted to go right to work to earn her PGA membership and dedicated her life to helping others improve their golf games and promoting the great game of golf. She has been a teaching professional since 1991 and has been a PGA Class "A" Member since 1994.

Tina is currently the Ambassador for Women\'s Golf at The Santaluz Club in San Diego, CA. Her role includes promoting the game of golf to existing members, both experienced players as well as beginners. This is done through giving clinics, playing lessons, rules seminars, and hosting a variety of different specialty events. The goal of the club is to grow and strengthen women\'s golf through making golf more available to women and by eliminating the intimidation women feel when they are new to the game. Her personal goal is to accomplish this not just at The Santaluz Club, but in the golf world as a whole.

Tina is currently the Ambassador for Women\'s Golf for Callaway Golf. The goal of Callaway Golf is to make the game of golf more enjoyable for women. She represents Callaway at sponsored events and clinics for women. She is working together with Callaway to help inspire women to develop their own passion for the game, and to understand the many benefits the great game of golf has to offer.

Tina\'s passion for teaching the game drives her to reach as large of an audience as possible through her teaching philosophies and her personable approach to golf. Throughout her career, Tina has reached her audience through many different outlets including books, newspaper columns, magazine articles, television, corporate outings, and speaking events. The game of golf can also provide insight into one\'s life and Tina incorporates this philosophy into her teaching.

Tina has been seen on the Golf Channel, involved with various programs including Golf Channel Academy, Academy Live, Your Game Night, and Drive, Chip, & Putt.

Tina has also worked as an on course commentator for the Golf Channel on the Champions Tour, as well as for CBS Sports covering the LPGA Tour.

From July 2000 until June 2008, Tina authored "Professional Golf Tips with Tina Mickelson," a syndicated column that provided weekly golf tips to newspapers, periodicals, and websites across the world. Tina writes her tips so they can be understood by a large audience spanning all skill levels. As a result of the syndicate closing down in 2008, Tina started to seek out alternate ways to deliver her professional golf tips. That is when she discovered and decided to partner with Youreeeka.

In addition to writing columns and teaching golf, Tina has served as editor for Dr. Deepak Chopra\'s book, "Golf for Enlightenment". Dr. Chopra wanted to ensure authenticity and credibility so he incorporated her expertise and knowledge of the game.
