In
travelling with students to Hank Haney´s Golf
Ranch in Texas on two occasions, I was able to watch one
of the best teachers in the world up close. That experience
has proved invaluable to my abilities as a leader, mentor
and teacher.
Speaking with Michael Hebron and learning the principles
which he employs in helping his students learn has impacted
me greatly in my approach to how the game is learned. One
on one time with Mike showed me what it takes to really
help someone learn as opposed to telling them how to swing.
I
do not subscribe to any one "method" of teaching
but use my understanding of many styles to help students
get better. My study of the golf swing will never cease
as I am continually learning with every lesson I give.
Over the past year,I have been learning the concepts of
the "stack and tilt" and "one plane swing" from
Jim Hardy (2008 PGA Teacher of the Year) and others.
Learning
these popular methods has helped me become a well rounded
teacher.
As my students´ knowledge
of the game and expertise in playing has grown, I too
have
become enriched as a player and teacher. I look forward
to another great year and hope to have the opportunity
to help you with your game. |
