Notes from Will Robins, PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit Presentation

PGA Member Will Robins recounted the horrific tale of survival with his wife from the 2009 Tsunami and his battle to re-emerge into life and then golf.

• What do you want? If you don’t know what you want, how do you know where to go? Golfers constantly want more distance, more consistency, more adept skills… what about more enjoyment?
• Will’s golf culture is shifting more into coaching. The goal is to get into an environment where one can reach one’s potential.  His Platinum Coaching Program involves team teaching, 1 specific task with feedback, team pressure (how to practice, the practice mindset, the REAL game of golf… how do YOU as an individual best get the ball into the hole?).
• Will to Student: If we think we can create a plan together and you put in your work and hold up your end of the work, your results will come. 
• Make not just golfers but AVID golfers!

John Novosol Jr., (Tour Tempo),  PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit Presentation

• John spoke about the technology that his Dad discovered regarding tempo in golf. The golf swing has a 3:1 ratio (3 times faster from top of swing to impact) and short game/putting have a 2:1 ratio.  By watching video frame counts, John’s father discovered golfers fit into a 18:6, 21:7, 24:8, 27:9 or 30:10 tempo in most cases. (Nicole is a 24:8 and Paul Kruger a 27:9). What a more consistent way to work on consistency than with a metronome! 

 (Nicole has been working with Tour Tempo for over 5 years and uses the Blue Tooth technology in the BTM class, as well as private lessons. Tour Tempo now has an App available for use).
