Top line up for US coaching summit

The PGA of America has issued an invite to GB&I pros to attend the 14th PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit in Orlando which includes a host of great speakers such as Butch Harmon, Jim McLean, Martin Hall, Sean Foley and Paul Hurrion.

This year’s Summit, which will be held in conjunction with the 62^nd PGA Merchandise Show, carries the theme, "A Lifetime Learning Experience" and will take place at Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, from January 18-19.

The invite comes amid widespread international interest in the two day conference.

An exciting new dimension to this year’s Summit is a ‘Live lessons’ feature.

The teacher will begin by sharing pertinent information with attendees, including the student's background, game and health.

The student will hit approximately six shots into a net which will be recorded by two video cameras as well as Trackman to give ball flight numbers.

Camera views and Trackman numbers will be displayed on two large screens. After approximately five swings, the assigned teacher will ask the audience to take five minutes to write down what they see, when they see it and how they would make adjustments or changes.

The instructor will share what they would do with the student and why. Assigned teachers will take approximately 20 minutes for questions sent via text from the audience.

On the Sunday night, Golf Magazine will announce their Top 100 and Hall of Fame Introduction. At the conclusion of the day's program, Golf Magazine will host a reception for all attendees, honoring the latest inductees into the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame.
