Golf School

 

I am thinking of running a 2-day golf school in my home city of Salt Lake City for interested golfers - if I get an adequate number of golf school attendees.

The golf school would run over a weekend from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon.

The purpose of the golf school would be for me to personally teach the full golf swing using the biomechanical and mechanical principles that I have espoused in my golf website's review papers. The semi-formal program would cover all the topics that are involved in the full golf swing - including the grip, address position/alignment/posture, backswing, downswing, impact, followthrough and finish. The teaching program will have a significant TGM flavor, although it would not rigidily follow any formal TGM teaching program. Depending on available time, the golf instruction would probably also cover the short game (chipping and pitching).

The teaching will be semi-formal in the sense that I would describe the full golf swing in great detail using diagrams and personal demonstrations. I will also personally answer all questions relating to swing mechanics/biomechanics, so that the learning golfer can fully understand what every body part is doing at every moment in the swing. The teaching process will not be based on vague "feel" sensations, but will be solidly/precisely informative - using my deep knowledge of golf biomechanics and mechanics to explain the golf swing in great detail.

I am also willing to provide targeted advice to golf school attendees who provide me with a swing video of their swing - prior to attending the golf school. I would analyse their swing prior to the golf school weekend, so that I would know how to provide additional personal advice to supplement the generic golf swing advice that is part-and-parcel of the teaching program. 

The amount of daily teaching will approximate 6-8 hours per day. Short breaks may be taken to allow participants to hit golf balls, while I comment on their swing biomechanics and mechanics. There will be a lunchbreak lasting about 1 hour. Teaching will start at approximately 9am and end at approximately 5pm. The likely site of the golf school will be a local golf practice facility.

The anticipated number of students per class will be 5-10 students.

The cost of the 2-day school will be $200. Participants will have to individually pay for their travel costs, hotel and food expenses and car rental expenses. I anticipate joining any interested golf school participants for dinner at a local restaurant on Saturday night.

I am also willing to play 18-or-36 holes of golf at a local golf course on Monday with interested golf school participants. The local cost of 18 playing holes is $45 (including cart rental).

If you are interested in attending my personal golf school, contact me via e-mail at jmannemg@earthlink.net

I will answer all relevant questions.
