Austin Graham - Profile

Austin Graham is a Malaska Golf Certified Instructor and accomplished professional golfer.
A standout junior in California, Austin won over 20 amateur events, including four collegiate titles at UC Davis, where he was a three-time All-Conference player. He qualified for the U.S. Amateur in 2009 and won the SCGA Amateur, a title once held by Tiger Woods.

Austin met Mike Malaska in 2011, just as he was turning professional. Mike helped simplify his swing through the M-System, giving Austin clarity on what worked and why. The results were immediate—Austin won a Gateway Tour event by 14 shots with rounds of 63-65-62 and no bogeys. He went on to win more than 30 professional events, qualify for the PGA Tour’s L.A. Open, and compete on PGA Tour Latin America, PGA Tour Canada, and international tours across Europe and Asia.

Now, as an instructor, Austin brings that same passion and precision to his students. He works with players of all levels using the M-System to simplify their swing and unlock their potential. “Whether I’m working with beginners or pros,” Austin says, “I help students connect their swing to how they naturally move and create those ‘ah-ha’ moments.”

With deep playing experience and a commitment to great instruction, Austin is proud to help others own their game as part of the Malaska Golf team.
