Longtime Den Brae player and professional golfer, Sam Read, returns for the 2026 season.
A New Hampshire native, Sam grew up on these grounds, shaping his game at Den Brae from an early age. With over a decade of teaching experience and a professional career spanning 80+ tournaments, Sam brings a level of insight rooted in both competition and instruction.
Leading instruction this season is Assistant Golf Professional, Tom Bouchard.
A Certified Instructor through the United States Golf Teaching Federation since 1999, Tom brings more than 30 years of teaching experience to Den Brae. His career spans decades at respected facilities, including North Kingstown Municipal Golf Club and The Original Golf School, where he developed a reputation for clear, effective instruction that players can actually take to the course.
Tom’s approach is grounded in simplicity. No unnecessary swing thoughts, no overcomplication—just a focus on solid fundamentals, confidence, and building a swing that holds up over time. Whether working with juniors, beginners, or experienced players, his goal remains the same: make the game more playable, and more enjoyable.
Now entering his third season with Lessons With Sam at Den Brae, Tom will serve as the Lead Teaching Professional, with expanded availability for private instruction and player development.
He will also be offering his Junior Golf Program this season, continuing Den Brae’s commitment to growing the game for the next generation.
In addition, Tom is a Certified PING Club Fitter, providing players the opportunity to be properly fit for equipment that matches their swing and maximizes performance.
