Molly Braid (Tullar) grew up on her family’s dairy farm in Orford, New Hampshire — an upbringing that instilled in her a strong work ethic and love of the outdoors. She found her passion for golf at Pfeiffer University in North Carolina, where she crossed paths with Top 100 Instructor Dana Rader. That meeting changed the course of her career.
After earning her degree in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, Molly joined the Dana Rader Golf School in Charlotte as a Teaching Professional, where she also served as Dana’s personal Teaching Assistant. Over eight years, she took on increasing responsibility, eventually becoming Director of Junior Golf — developing a coaching philosophy rooted in connecting instruction to each player’s individual goals.
In 2018, Molly brought that philosophy to Westmoor Country Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she serves as Teaching Professional. She also coaches the Wisconsin US National Development Team and, since 2020, has served as a National Evaluator for the LPGA and a member of its Global Education Team — helping shape how the next generation of instructors are trained worldwide.
Her work has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of America’s Best Young Teachers (2018–Present) and Best in State (2019–Present), by the LPGA as 2023 Midwest Section Teacher of the Year, and by the Wisconsin PGA as 2022 Teacher and Coach of the Year. She was also recently named to the Top 50 LPGA Teachers list.
Prior to Milwaukee, Molly served as Head Women’s Golf Coach at Ithaca College in New York, where she was named the 2016 LPGA T&CP Northeast Coach of the Year and Empire 8 Conference Coach of the Year in both 2016 and 2017. Under her leadership, the program earned three tournament wins, thirteen top-five finishes, and two conference championships.
With over 20,000 hours of teaching and coaching experience, Molly brings a unique ability to connect instruction with each player’s goals, helping them build positive practice habits and stronger on-course performance.
Molly, a PGA and LPGA certified professional, also holds certifications in Better Your Best and BioSwing Dynamics, AimPoint Green Reading, Titleist Performance Institute, U.S. Kids Golf, Positive Coaching Alliance and has participated in Vision54 COACH Training.
