Seth Dichard

Seth Dichard, the Founder of the Seth Dichard Golf Schools & Centers, has solidified his place as a prominent figure in the New England golfing community.

Seth’s expertise has been acknowledged by industry authorities, earning him accolades as a Top 100 WGTF Master Teaching Professional, a Top 25 Instructor in New England by New England Golf Monthly and recognized by Golf Digest as one of the Best Teachers-by-State in New Hampshire. 

 In addition to his exceptional teaching abilities, Seth is the mastermind behind the Putt-Rite Speed Trainer, a cutting-edge putting aid he invented in 2018 and embraced by his students and both PGA & LPGA Professionals. With an impressive track record of nearly 25,000 lessons taught, Seth recently launched NH’s #1 Premier Indoor Golf Center in 2021. This state-of-the-art facility boasts 7 top-of-the-line indoor golf simulators with two private teaching bays, a professional club fitting and repair shop, and a convenient bagroom for golfers.
