Golf Digest — the sport’s venerable magazine — has named Zach Allen one of its Best Young Teachers in America for 2014-15. The list represents a select group of instructors under age 40. The editors’ criteria:

After a comprehensive evaluation, we welcome 11 new teachers to the list. These talented instructors, along with 29 who are returning, represent the future of golf instruction.
