Greetings!
It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2nd Annual Brian Manzella Golf Swing Science Symposium, "ANTI-SUMMIT II," on Monday, December 5 and Tuesday, December 6 on Long Island, New York at the Rock Hill Golf & Country Club in Manorville.
This year's symposium will feature a full day with six of the world's foremost golf scientists: Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, Dr. Rob Neal, Dr. Steven Nesbit, Fredrik Tuxen, Dr. Paul Wood, and Dr. Aaron Zick. It promises to be an unprecedented learning experience.
This year we have included a "bonus" second day featuring discussion on the real world teaching implications of the Monday session, plus the D-Plane, Doppler Radar club and ball measurement devices, 3D technology, and our groundbreaking golf research project-Project 1.68, presented by the Manzella Academy.
For those of you who did not attend last year's exceptionally reviewed ANTI-SUMMIT I in Scottsdale, Arizona, or saw the event on video, I would like to explain what an "Anti-Summit" is.
In the golf teaching business there are several organizations that conduct annual teaching summits. Personally, I love these events and have attended more national events than just about anyone. But these summits are really just seminars-seminars that are almost all presentation, with very little question and answer, and next to zero real discussion and debate. So we really aren't "anti-summit," we are just pro-discussion.
We want to make the attendees feel like they are part of the symposium as opposed to getting lectured to. Instead of discouraging audience participation, the attendees will be on equal footing to challenge, question, and debate the topic at hand with each other, the panelists, or the moderator.
Our goal is to use science to form a consensus on several items and to rid the golf instruction business of as much junk science as possible. The discussion aims not just to inform, but also to discover new concepts as well.
For those of you not lucky enough to be familiar with our unprecedented all-star scientific panel, let me introduce them to you:
Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Kinetics at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, whose published golf research includes work on the three dimensional dynamics of the golf swing.
Dr. Rob Neal, a Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the University of Queensland, Australia, is the founder of Golf BioDynamics and The Golf Athlete, consults for the Australian Institute of Sport, and is a renowned expert in 3D golf swing analysis.
Dr. Steven Nesbit, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, has done golf research for the USGA and his published work includes the seminal "Work and Power analysis of the golf swing."
Fredrik Tuxen, has a Masters degree in radar and sound processing from the Technical University in Denmark, is the inventor of TrackMan, and whose research into ball-flight is the standard on the subject around the world.
Dr. Aaron Zick, a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University, and President of Zick Technologies, is a golf swing physics expert, whose multi-segment math model of the golf swing has been featured at golf seminars around the USA.
Dr. Paul Wood, a Ph.D. in solar physics and applied mathematics from the University of St. Andrews, is the senior research project engineer at Ping Golf, and is an expert in golf club design, ball-club impact collision, and ball-flight.
The Scientific Panel day at the Symposium (Monday, December 5) will begin at 10 am and continue until 5 pm with continental breakfast, buffet lunch, and afternoon snacks provided.
The "bonus" second day at the Symposium (Tuesday, December 6) will begin at 9 am and continue until 3 pm with continental breakfast, buffet lunch, and afternoon snacks provided.
The fee for attendees is $250.
We know it will be an historic day in the annals of golf instruction, and we are looking forward to having you join us.
Hope to see you there!
