How It Started
Precision Fairways was founded in 2024 by Joe Steadman. A US Army Special Forces veteran, Joe enlisted in the Army in 2005, having an intense desire to serve after witnessing the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks unfold from his 10th grade Biology classroom.
During his 13 years of active-duty service, Joe was first assigned to 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group in Stuttgart Germany, where he conducted multiple combat deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq as a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, while also participating in several contingency and training operations throughout Africa and Europe.

While experienced in many different skill sets, it was clear early in Joe’s career that his greatest passions and talents lay in the realms of marksmanship and close quarters battle. Joe spent most of his career refining and implementing these skills and was eventually called back to Fort Bragg to be an instructor. There, he served as the Chief Marksmanship Instructor at the prestigious Special Forces Advanced Reconnaissance, Target Analysis, and Exploitation Techniques (SFARTAETC) school, at just 27 years of age.
Passion For Golf
It was during this time as an instructor, where Joe developed a passion for the game of golf. As he developed his skills on the course, Joe began to realize that the game was also becoming a way to help process the previous years of constant deployments and became his primary outlet for decompression and relaxation, which only further developed his passion for the game.
Joe eventually decided to leave military life and pursue a career in the golf industry.
He received an Honorable Discharge in 2018 and enrolled in the Professional Golf Management program at Campbell University. While graduating with honors in both the BBA and MBA programs, it was during his time at Campbell and through various internships that Joe had the privilege to study under some of the very best golf instructors in the country, including Terry Rowles, Mike Adams, and David Orr. Joe was named one of the "Best Young Teachers in America" by Golf Digest in the fall of 2024!

Precision Fairways Is Born
As his reputation began to grow in the region, Joe’s teaching skills were recognized by Jeff Dotson, the Director of Golf at the legendary Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst. Joe was hired as the club’s first ever Director of Instruction in January 2020 and continues to teach full-time at CCNC today.
Joe established Precision Fairways with the vision of sharing two of his life’s passions and expert skillsets with others who value them, while simultaneously creating a medium to provide financial assistance to his fellow combat veterans struggling with service-connected health issues.

Holding roles as both a Weapons and Medical Sergeant, Dennis completed advanced training in close-quarters combat, marksmanship, and high-altitude parachuting. After retiring in 2018, he began training Navy SEALs, law enforcement, and Special Operations medics in tactical combat care.
