Frank Jenks has coached high school golf for ten years. He started with JV Girls and Boys teams. Within one year, he was named Varsity Boys Coach at Forest Hills Eastern. He stresses integrity and perseverance, focusing on making better people first, which also makes them better golfers. He has been to State Finals seven out of the last eight years. This has led Frank to receive two Michigan Regional Coach Of The Year honors and named D2 Coach Of The Year once.
