Teaching with other Teachers

It has been a real pleasure this year to have a few opportunities to teach alongside other teachers. 

Fran Rhoads (left) , PGA Director of Instruction at TPC Avenel approached me about bringing a golf school to Stonewall this year  and it was an awesome experience to spend time with his members and share both of our thoughts with them for a whole day.

This past Sunday, Mark Guttenberg, PGA (below left)  brought Tim Kremer below right) of Spirit of Golf to town from FL and we co-hosted a "Golf and the Mind Game" clinic at the course. I learned a lot from Tim and was able to learn some new mental techniques also help and speak with the participants throughout the day as they tried to apply the new concepts as well.


I typically teach alone and do not get to bounce ideas off others or get feedback from colleagues. I go to many teaching summits and seminars to get fresh ideas and share ideas most of the time.  So to have a chance to do that at my home course and in action is refreshing.  I am definitely going to continue to pursue ways to bring new "blood" and experts and experiences to my students and Stonewall and encourage my fellow professionals to do the same. We should use each other to help each other and everyone will learn more!
