Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer

Mike Bennett (born December 12, 1967, in Jordan, New York) and Andy Plummer (born December 23, 1966, in Vanceburg, Kentucky) are a duo of golf instructors who have coached PGA Tour players Charlie Wi, Steve Elkington, Tom Scherrer, Grant Waite, Troy Matteson, Bill Lunde, Mike Weir and Aaron Baddeley, among others.[1][2] Bennett and Plummer are also known because the golf swing model they developed challenges some aspects of current mainstream golf instruction.[3][4][5]

Bennett and Plummer played in the mini tours during the mid-1990s and later committed to instruction in the early 2000s,[6] after taking courses with Larry Bartosek, Tom Tomesello, Mike Bender and Mac O'Grady.[7]
