Thank You!

My name is Michael Stocking.
I am a Class "A" PGA Life Member
I am now RETIRED. Unfortunately, my body and personal circumstances are such that I no longer will be teaching at Encinitas Ranch GC. For those of you that don't know, in the last 20 yrs, I have had 13 surgeries. Three of which have been Spine surgeries. My spine is fused at C5-C7, T6-T10 & C4-S1. Within my spine are 17 screws, 4 Rods and 1 Plate. I am very limited in how much I can do in any one given day. While teaching may seem like an effortless endeavor, the daily grind takes its toll on my body.
For those students who have come back to this website for current information, THANK YOU for you support! It has been my privilege and pleasure to have been able to be a part of your golfing journey! I will keep my website active for the next few years. Maybe, Just maybe, I will find myself teaching again!
Once again, THANK YOU!
Now Retired!!
