Teague Balen
Teague began his golf career at Drayton Valley Golf Club throughout the 2000s. He later advanced his education in 2009 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, earning his degree in 2012.
During and following his time at UNLV, Teague travelled extensively across North America to study alongside many of the game’s most respected instructors, coaches and sport biomechanists, including Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, Dr. Phil Cheetham, Dr. Young-Hoo Kwon, Mac O’Grady, Andy Plummer, Joseph Mayo, James Sieckmann, Grant Waite, Dr. Greg Rose, Dave Phillips, David Orr, and others. This exposure to a wide range of coaching philosophies has helped shape his comprehensive, modern approach to instruction.
Teague spent five seasons teaching at Glendale Golf & Country Club in Edmonton (2014–2017, 2019), working with players of all ages and skill levels.
In 2018, he partnered with PGA Tour coach Jeff Smith to help establish a Las Vegas–based golf instruction platform. This opportunity provided him with inside-the-ropes insight into the preparation, practice habits, and performance standards of PGA Tour professionals, including Aaron Wise, Wyndham Clark, Max Greyserman, Isaiah Salinda, Scott Piercy, and others.
Teague has proudly been teaching at The Drayton Valley Golf Club since 2024, bringing his experience and expertise back to where his golf career began. Teague teaches out of both the DVGC and SimCity Virtual Golf in town.
