Great Year for Golf

I would like to thank all my students for a great year in 2009. I heard lots of success stories during the season and that is why I teach, nothing is more gratifying then knowing you have helped people enjoy this great game that we play.

If you have checked my blog out much this year you probably realize that it did not change at all. I am glad that I didn't have time to do the things I had intended with the blog and yet sad that I did not accomplish those things. I hope to give you some things to look at during the fall and winter that will keep your golf game in tune and peek your curiosity. I have some things planned and have to talk with my blog guru to determine how to do them.

I want to announce a fall / winter program to give you some great advice about what you should work on in the months ahead. My winter program is called the 20/20 club, short for twenty minutes of teaching for twenty dollars. The lessons are with video with the objective of finding the problem and giving you a drill to work on to fix it. You work on the drill and the technique and when you become adept at that skill we can meet again to review and go forward.

Please feel free to send me an email with any ideas that you have about what you would like to see on the blog. My intention is to try and incorporate a little video into the blog so you can review it and work on the skills. Email me anytime through the blog and I will look forward to hearing from you.

A New Beginning and A New Home

I would like to announce a change in scenery and I must admit I am excited about the opportunity. Beginning immediately I am teaching at The Westerville Golf Center on Schrock Road in Westerville, Ohio. I have long been a supporter of the range and have practiced there on and off for the past thirty or forty years. I have always considered it to be the premier golf range in the City of Columbus and feel priviledged to have the chance to teach at the facility.

As always my hope is that my blog will be read by my students and passed on to their friends so that I may get an opportunity to meet and teach new friends and family members as well as the students I have already worked with. If this is your first time coming to the blog, please click on some of the past postings in the lower left corner and you can read some of my lesson postings and get some ideas about my teaching. I like to write as you will probably be able to tell and this year coming soon will be an occasional Video Lesson that will appear at the bottom of the blog.

To all my current students, I invite you to come out and see the Westerville Range and take your lessons here. To all of the people who are reading my blog for the first time I encourage you to call me and set up a lesson. Why wait any longer to improve your golf game, lets get down to business and make this the best golfing summer of your life.

I enjoy teaching golf to everyone and I welcome a challenge. I incorporate video into my teaching to help you visualize what you are learning, I like to use swing aids and props to help you get the feeling you need to acquire. Most of all, I like to have fun with my students and have a strong belief that I also have something to learn from my students once in a while, if I ever stop learning I am doing my students a disservice as well as myself.

In the weeks and months ahead, I hope to get to meet a lot of new people. I hope that I get a chance to spend a few minutes either through my blog or in person with everyone who is reading this, to try and help you improve your golf game. If you see me on the range stop me and say hello, I promise you that you will see me on the range as I am a practice nut, I love to hit golf balls. Below is a copy of a hand out that is in the lobby of the golf range which tells you a little about me and the lesson fees. I hope to see you soon and wish you the best with your golf game.

SUMMARY OF OFFERINGS FOR 2009

Glad to see the weather break even if it is for a short while. We can now look forward to the days ahead and know that golf beckons from just around the corner. The Masters is a mere 2 months away and for us fans of Tiger Woods, that means we can all rejoice because he is suppose to be back on the links in time for that event. By the way, I guess there is a new heir to the thrown as of a couple of days ago, Little Tiger. Congrats to the Woods family.

It has been a long winter, with any luck it will now be a long spring and summer so that we can play plenty of golf. I have decided to branch out from just teaching this year and offer many different options for your liking. I will be greatly more involved in the club repair business this year and I will be mobile to do so. I will be offering club repair to your door, club or wherever you deem it necessary. I picked up a van over the winter and have decided to run club repair out of it, picking up equipment and delivering when finished, or even doing it while you wait in some cases. I have been involved in the club making and repair business for many years now and like the feeling of accomplishment I get from completing the job and getting the club in your hands as fast and conveniently as possible. Please keep me in mind for all your club repairs, it is a great time to get your clubs re gripped and with the economy and the job situation it may be a year to repair versus purchase new.

I will be changing the lesson offerings this year as well. I will be offering what I call an introductory lesson which includes: club fitting and specs recommendations and a lesson. It will be a one time only lesson because once we know we have the right fit club in our hands, the rest is up to putting the clubs to good use. I will also offer an on course or playing lesson which will include: a written evaluation of what we need to work on, the knowledge gained from our on course evaluation, a lesson plan layout, club fitting and your first lesson back at the driving range. I will continue to offer the same lesson formats as last year if you feel you do not need the above programs, however, I highly recommend that you consider these programs. Club fitting is an essential in helping you become a better golfer. I can explain to you just how important and why at anytime, just call me or email me.

I look forward to seeing you all on the fairways of the world, mostly Columbus of course. I wish everyone a fantastic year on the links and hope we all can overcome our obstacles in every way in the year ahead. Please call me if I can be of any assistance to you, I am able to find equipment for you, set up events for you or your company and of course instruct you on how to be a better golfer. I have some nice new ideas for this year and look forward to working with you.

Best of Luck

Good Golf
