Northeast PGA Instructors Conference
I am back in the USA and the past two days I have been presenting at the Northeast PGA instructors conference for the Connecticut section. Over the two days I presented two 75 minute indoor powerpoint sessions. The first day on the 3 ways technique can change and the second on building a winning game. Building a winning game is an overview on the holistic approach to training and is based on the programs we developed at the VIS and is now world renowned for its results. Each day I then did 3 break out sessions, splitting the attendees (about 80 PGA members) into three groups, and we did workshops on training with the Leaderboard and Clubkite and how activating a new motor pattern and putting it under resistance will create a new pattern of movement to replace the old habit. The final sessions I presented were on skill development using the 9 shot drill and the confidence cycle, demonstrating competitive games and skills testing. There were two other presenters: Henry Bunton from Canada, Henry presented on Long Term player development and how Canadian golf has adopted a similar approach to Australia by adding golf into their Institute of Sport programs. Henry was also very close to Moe Norman and was able to give us some wonderful insights into who Moe was and what his genious was about. Fred Shoemaker was the third presenter. Fred, the author of Extrodinary Golf presented on transforming the Paradigm of teaching and coaching and personal exploration and discovery. Fred gave us an insight into a different approachch to learning, that could well be the future of golf instruction.
