Husband and wife team David and Susan Havens founded Spare for Change in 2011 to make a difference in golf.
David Havens, PGA, was raised in humble surroundings in southwest Virginia. He first picked up a golf club as a young man, and the game of golf changed his life. Golf became a vehicle that propelled him to excel in his studies, play golf for Virginia Tech, and travel the world, including professional play in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Australia and Canada. David's passion for teaching golf lead him to the Kingdom of Bhutan in 2008 where he spent five months teaching aspiring young golfers to represent Bhtuan in international competition. In 2010, he traveled to Nepal to work with golfers at the Royal Nepal Golf Club in Kathmandu and Himalayan Golf Course in Pokhara.
David moved to Maui in 2004 to begin his golf career in Hawaii. He was selected as the Aloha Section PGA Junior Golf Professional of the Year in 2012, Aloha Section PGA Teacher of the Year in 2013, and Aloha Section PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 2017. He is a former officer and President of the Aloha Section PGA supporting the Board of Directors and Hawaii's PGA professionals. He is the owner/operator of The Havens Experience, as a teaching professional at Eagle Ranch Golf Club in Eagle, CO and Maui Nui Golf Club in Kihei, Maui, HI.
Susan's passion for golf began at the age of 10 in Indianapolis. After graduating from Purdue University, she moved to Maui to pursue a career in hospitality. She met David a few years later and the pair had their first date at the Challenge at Manele golf course on the island of Lanai.
The Havens family operates Spare for Change from Eagle, CO, where they reside with their children, Savannah and Jackson.
