The report from the PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit
I was there.
Of course, I always am there.
"The Summit XII" was held at the Faldo Institute by Marriott off of I-Drive in Orlando.
It was Joe Hallet's first turn at running the event, and it was the first time it was held right before the PGA Show.
It will be remembered for the following things that I saw with my own eyes (some other things that it will be remembered for, I didn't witness, as I was throwing caps and tassels in the air on the back end of the range.
But that's another story.
Here is the list:
The Gary Wiren & Matt Frelich ball-flight laws "roundtable."
James Leitz' D-Plane talk.
The guys from Golftec coming with more measured swing info in a 20 minute infomercial than almost every non-ball flight talk combined.
No "scheduled" live lessons, less than 30 shots hit.
Ken Green's and later Bob Toski's humor.
Mike Breed's 1st time as MC.
Bobby Clampett probably easily doing the best job presenting, but relying on video "data" and "seems as if" quite a bit.
Lynn Blake trying to get his 3:30 minute presentation into 45 minutes.
Of course there were many others, but I didn't get to see them all. Questions had to be emailed in, and were asked as an afterthought at best.
Selfishly, I will always remember it as my coming out party.
And that I'll discuss at length, in a full blog post soon.
Today is "Demo Day," and as a sign of the times in my "big upgrade"—so to speak—I am off to shoot an article and video for Golf Magazine, and then some video for TrackMan.
Lots to write about in that blog.....
