The 14th PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit presented by OMEGA

Since 1988, premier instructors have gathered in an effort to increase their knowledge of the golf swing, learn more about key technology outside the lesson tee, and share best practices with their colleagues. The 14th PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit presented by OMEGA is another important chapter in a PGA Professional tradition of highlighting the core values of educating others and sharing knowledge.

The Summit theme of “A Lifetime Learning Experience” encompasses what we all have come to love and appreciate about the game of golf. It is a lifetime pursuit of excellence through continued learning and networking with our industry peers. This Summit connects the best, the brightest and the aspiring professionals to exchange ideas and knowledge. We trust the outcome will be that our PGA Professionals will return home to enhance the enjoyment of golfers and continue to grow our great game.

We have assembled a celebrated cast of instructors, including nine national PGA Teachers of the Year. They are joined by several of the world’s premier performers to ignite new ideas or polish some that may already be within your teaching repertoire.

Our thanks to presenting sponsor, OMEGA, for its commitment to PGA Professionals and to this outstanding educational event.

We also thank our media partner, GOLF Magazine, for its sponsorship of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame reception. GOLF Magazine also hosts the induction ceremonies for its “Top 100 Teachers in America” and the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame.

Dr. Hurrion specializes in the analysis of the putting stroke, using multi high-speed camera analysis that utilizes the latest Quintic Biomechanics software, which is synchronized with a force platform that is used to analyze, explain and demonstrate human movement. In addition, the new Quintic Ball Roll uses a 360 fps high-speed camera to analyze the golf ball and putter during impact. The resultant putting action is examined in the utmost detail. His advice has helped many Tour Professionals and Teaching Professionals to understand and modify their ‘putting’ action to the benefit of their own scores and/or their teaching abilities.

Every golfer uses the putter more than any other club and so it will not surprise you to learn that the Quintic Putting Laboratory is used regularly by European Tour Players and Golf Professionals as well as keen amateur golfers. They all have one aim in common – putting even better.

Can you consistently hit the ball on the line that you have read with the optimal launch characteristics? How does the human body influence the putter movement, which in turn affects the club ball contact? How long does a putter and golf ball spend in contact with each other?

LOU GUZZI, PGA

Lou Guzzi, the 2013 PGA Teacher of the Year, is the owner and PGA Director of Instruction of the Lou Guzzi Academy at Talamore Country Club in Ambler, Pennsylvania. Born in Philadelphia, Guzzi is one of GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America. He began love for golf as a youth, designing a makeshift course near his family home. Guzzie dug a hole in the ground and used a “wiffle” ball and clubs purchased at a yard sale.

At age 12, Guzzi and his father went to a driving range, where Guzzi showed promise in the game by hitting a ball into a target to win a free bucket of balls. His first experience on a golf course came at age 17, when he and his future wife had a date to play 18 holes at Twining Valley Golf Club in Dresher, Pennsylvania. Guzzi turned professional in 1991 but had been giving golf lessons as an amateur long before entering the golf industry. Guzzi developed a state-of-the-art, year-round teaching facility on the practice range. With a wood-burning fireplace, cappuccino bar and cozy office, Guzzi has made it possible to provide year-round golf instruction.

Today, Guzzi’s extensive student base features more than 30 men and women PGA Professionals from throughout Greater Philadelphia, some of the highest-ranked junior tournament players in Pennsylvania, and many adult players who have become club champions. But, Guzzi’s top student, he said, will always be his late father, Lou Guzzi Sr., who learned the game from his son at age 50 and played golf with passion for the next 22 years until he died of cancer.

Guzzi is an advisory board member and Top 50 Growth of the Game Teaching Professional of the Golf Range Association of America and the PGA Magazine Advisory Board for Instruction. Prior to arriving at Talamore, Guzzi served as Flourtown Country Club head professional from 1991-2000, and as PGA director of instruction from 2001-06 at Experienced Golf Center in Fort Washington, Pa. He is the director of instruction for Golf Talk Live Radio Show and Inside Golf TV Show on Comcast Sports Net.

From 2009-12, Guzzi was a member of the PGA Instruction Committee and currently is chair of the Philadelphia PGA Section Teaching Committee. Guzzi’s fascination with golf history led him to craft his personal email address – “henybogan” – after the legendary Ben Hogan. The famed golfer often answered his office phone as “Henny Bogan,” whom Hogan once identified as his imaginary friend, who sat on his shoulder and spoke to him.

MARTIN HALL, PGA

Martin Hall, the PGA Director of Instruction at Ibis Golf and Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, is the 2008 PGA Teacher of the Year. He is host of the popular Golf Channel program, “School of Golf,” which launched in 2011.

Hall turned professional in 1975, and competed on the European Tour before devoting his career to golf instruction. He is a Master Professional of the PGA of Great Britain & Ireland, and has taught in 14 countries. Hall is a charter member of the GOLF Magazine roster of the Top 100 Teachers in America since its origin in 1996, and he is a member since 2000 of Golf Digest’s Top 50 Teachers.

Hall is a frequent contributor to major golf publications and has authored three books. Among his students, past and present, is LPGA Major Champion Morgan Pressel, whom Hall first coached when she was 9.

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, Hall is the second native of the United Kingdom to receive the PGA Teacher of the Year Award, following Craig Shankland (2001). Hall was introduced to the game on his own. At age 11, having already declared himself the next best soccer player in the country, Hall decided one day to try golf and gathered his mother’s set of clubs from a closet, boarded a bus and arrived at Newcastle Golf Club, where his family had a membership. He walked out to the first tee and began playing. Hall turned professional in 1975. As a young assistant professional in 1982, Hall read in the Golf Digest classified ads about a golf school in Turnberry, Scotland, that featured renowned golf instructors Jim Flick and Bob Toski. Hall sent a letter to a U.S. post office box to inquire about assisting at the school. Ten days later, Hall got a reply, and realized a dream by meeting Flick, Toski and Peter Kostis at the Turnberry golf school. Three years later, on the recommendation of Kostis, Hall was offered a job by PGA Professional Dick Pearce at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. Hall accepted and moved to the United States.

Hall served at St. Andrews from 1986-91 as director of instruction, and in 1990, on the recommendation of Toski, was named lead instructor at the Nicklaus-Flick Golf Schools. From 1991-97, Hall traveled worldwide for the school. He was elected to PGA membership in 1996, and a year later was named PGA director of instruction at Ibis Golf & Country Club in West Palm Beach.

Cook serves as the Instructor Emeritus at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin and Director of the Chuck Cook Golf Academies Worldwide.

If his job titles are not noteworthy enough, his achievements definitely are. Cook received the 1996 National PGA Teacher of the Year Award. He is ranked as the No. 6 Teacher in America and one of the Top 50 instructors of the 20th century, both awards given by Golf Digest. GOLF Magazine acknowledges his contributions to golf by including him in the Top 100 Teachers in America.

Cook has published two instruction books, “Tips from the Tour” and “Perfectly Balanced Golf,” as well as more than 300 articles in national and international publications. He produced an informational video, “How to Stop Your Slice and Your Hook,” and two DVDs, “Building the Perfect Swing” and “Building the Perfect Short Game.”

Cook was the innovator behind the first holistic golf program at the Academy of Golf in Lakeway, Texas, in 1981. Just one year later, he conducted the first study of how golfers actually play. After testing 1,200 golfers, Cook led the most innovative instruction program, which resulted in the invention of the hybrid club by Barney Adams.

JASON DUFNER, PGA

Jason Dufner, the 2013 PGA Champion, was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida when he was 14, and it was there that he began competing for St. Thomas Aquinas High School during his sophomore, junior and senior years.

Dufner was a walk-on at Auburn University, where he won three times in his college career and was an Honorable Mention All- American in 1997. In 1998, Dufner played in the finals of the U.S. Amateur Public Links at Torrey Pines, falling to Trevor Immelman, 3 and 2. Dufner graduated from Auburn in 2000 with a degree in economics.

Dufner was a member of the PGA TOUR in 2004 and the Nationwide Tour (now Web.com Tour) in 2001, ‘02, ‘03, ‘05 and ‘06. Dufner won two events on the Nationwide Tour - the Buy.com Wichita Open in 2001 and the LaSalle Bank Open in 2006. He finished eighth on the Nationwide Tour money list in 2006 to earn his PGA Tour card for 2007. He then finished 127th in the FedEx Cup standings in 2007 to secure conditional status for the 2008 PGA Tour season.

In 2008, the year when he began working with 1996 PGA Teacher of the Year Chuck Cook, Dufner once again competed at Q-School and finished T-11 to earn his card for 2009.

In 2009, Dufner finished in the top 10 on six occasions, including a third-place finish at the RBC Canadian Open, and a runner-up place at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Dufner tied for fifth at the 2010 PGA Championship and lost in a playoff at the 2011 PGA Championship before capturing the 2013 PGA Championship by two strokes over Jim Furyk at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. His 10-under-par performance included a major championship record-tying 63 in the second round. Dufner qualified for his first Ryder Cup team in 2012, finishing with a record of 3–1.

Jason and his wife, Amanda, guide the Jason Dufner Charitable Foundation, which focuses on ending childhood hunger in Lee County, Alabama, through partnerships with local, regional and national organizations.

Currently, the foundation provides weekend meals for more than 800 children throughout the school year, as well as providing resources and programs to impact Auburn-area initiatives such as the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lee County and the Hunger Solutions Institute at Auburn University.

Through their foundation, the Dufners are also active with End Childhood Hunger in Alabama (ECHA), a statewide task force formed to leverage resources, raising awareness and funds for the issue.

NANCY LOPEZ, LPGA

Considered one of the finest players in women’s professional golf history, Nancy Lopez became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1977 and won 48 LPGA Tour events, including three major championships.

Lopez began playing golf at the age of 8 under the guidance of her father, Domingo, and turned professional after her sophomore year at the University of Tulsa. She won the New Mexico Women's Amateur at age 12, and the U.S. Girls' Junior in 1972 and 1974, at ages 15 and 17, respectively.

Playing in the U.S. Women's Open as an 18-year-old amateur in 1975, she finished tied for second. In 1976, Lopez was named All-American and Female Athlete of the Year for her play at the University of Tulsa. She won the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women National Championship and was a member of the U.S. Curtis Cup and World Amateur teams.

In 1978, her first full season on the LPGA Tour, Lopez won nine tournaments, including at one stretch, five tournaments in a row. She won the Vare Trophy for lowest scoring average; LPGA Rookie of the Year; LPGA Player of the Year; and was named the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year. She won another eight times in 1979 and won multiple times in each year from 1980 to 1984, although she played only half-seasons in 1983 and 1984 due to the birth of her first child.

Playing full-time again in 1985, Lopez posted five wins, five seconds and five thirds, won the money title, the scoring title and the Player of the Year Award. She was also named Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year for a second time. She played only four tournaments in 1986, when her second daughter was born, but she came back to win multiple times in 1987-89 - three times each in 1988 and 1989 - and once again won Player of the Year honors, in 1988.

Lopez was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1987. She was a member of the United States Solheim Cup team in 1990 and was captain of the team in 2005. She retired from regular tournament play in 2002, and then attempted a return in 2007 and 2008.

Lopez is the only woman to win LPGA Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year, and the Vare Trophy in the same season (1978). Her company, Nancy Lopez Golf, makes a full line of women's clubs and accessories.

In 1981, at the height of her career, Lopez was aware something was missing in her life and realized she wanted to give something back. After meeting Dr. Jo and the children of Adventures in Movement (AIM), she knew she had found her calling. AIM is an organization that helps mentally challenged, visually impaired, hearing impaired, physically handicapped and other children and adults with special needs.

The first Nancy Lopez/AIM Golf Tournament was held in 1981 and continues as an outstanding event. Lopez serves as Chairman of the National Ambassadors to AIM.

GOLF Magazine Releases New List of Top 100 Teachers in America 11 elite teachers added to the industry’s definitive instruction roster

GOLF Magazine has released its biennial list of the Top 100 Teachers in America for 2015- 2016. New members will be introduced at the PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, on January 18, 2015. The complete Top 100 Teachers list will appear in the April 2015 print issue, and the January 21 SI Golf + Digital e-mag.

Since its inception in 1996, GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America list has become the industry standard for teaching excellence due to the diligent selection process that GOLF Magazine employs to assemble the list.

“Every two years the Credential and Selection committees dedicate a lot of time and research to recognize the golf industry’s best teachers by naming them to our Top 100 list,” said David DeNunzio, Managing Editor for Instruction for GOLF Magazine. “These individuals have been selected because of their commitment to broaden the appeal of golf by helping their students understand and enjoy the game.”

Candidates for GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America list are selected from nominees submitted by the PGA, LPGA, United States Golf Teachers Federation, top industry executives and GOLF Magazine readers. On average, more than 250 nominations are accepted from the country’s 25,000 instruction professionals. Each nominee must complete a thorough questionnaire developed in conjunction with Dr. Robert Christina, professor emeritus of the University of North Carolina—Greensboro School of Health and Human Performance.

The applications are screened against 15 baseline criteria recommended by the Top 100 Teachers Credentials Committee and are then examined and ranked by a group comprised of 15 active and former Top 100 Teachers. Final recommendations are then made by a separate Selection Committee, comprised of GOLF Magazine's instruction editors, established Top 100 Teachers and alumni, and invited World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame members. The recommendations of the Selection Committee are submitted to GOLF Magazine for the final decision.

The Top 100 list is the only national golf instructor roster that combines outside academic and PGA Professional peer review. In addition, candidates are judged on their willingness to give back to the game and to the PGA and LPGA through one of the following: apprentice education, member continued education, research or lesson programs.

GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America further distinguishes itself in that it is structured as an organization rather than a simple listing. Its members interact to improve upon player education, instruction techniques, public outreach and research on the way the game is taught and played.

GOLF Magazine’s World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame Welcomes the Class of 2015

Six instruction giants added to the only hall of fame dedicated to coaching and teaching

The 2015 class of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame was announced at the GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher Retreat, held Oct. 19-21 at the Washington Duke Inn & G.C. in Durham, N.C. The class includes Mike Adams, PGA (Palm Beach Gardens, Florida); Chuck Cook, PGA (Austin, Texas); Jim Hardy, PGA (Houston, Texas); Butch Harmon (Las Vegas, Nevada); Jim McLean, PGA (Miami, Florida); and the late PGA Professional Jack Grout.

The inductees will be formally introduced at the 2015 PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit in Orlando, on Jan. 18.

The World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame was founded in 1998 by GOLF Magazine to ensure that the theories and philosophies of the game’s greatest instructors live on. It is the only hall of fame of its kind, honoring those teaching legends who have demonstrated an unfailing dedication to their students, have created new knowledge that has shaped the way the game is taught and played, and furthered the professionalism and importance of golf instruction as it stands today. The four charter inductees were Tommy Armour, Percy Boomer, Ernest Jones, and Harvey Penick. The hall now boasts 17 members, and inductees are voted in by GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America and Hall of Fame members.

Only men and women whose primary job has been teaching golf will be considered for admission. All teachers from around the world are eligible for inclusion in the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame. The GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teachers Education Committee oversees the entire nomination and voting process. Inductees are judged by the following criteria: 1) The teacher’s innovations and contributions to improving golf instruction; 2) The teacher’s scope of influence within the teaching community; 3) The teacher’s dedication to his or her students; and 4) The teacher’s track record for helping his or her students improve.

The profiles of all inductees in the Class of 2015, except for Jack Grout, are located in this booklet. Here is the profile of Mr. Grout:

JACK GROUT Jack Grout began his golf career in 1918 as a caddie at the old Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club. Recognizing his natural talent for golf and instruction, Edgemere Country Club in Oklahoma City named Grout its golf professional in 1927, when Grout was just 17. In October 1929, he was elected to PGA membership.

Grout made his PGA Tour debut in 1931, playing regularly through 1945 and eventually retiring from the Tour in 1956. His career highlights included four professional wins and two top-10 finishes in the PGA Championship. His calm and supportive demeanor, an uncanny eye for spotting flaws and a knack for producing simple solutions were distinctive and unique qualities of his teaching style.

His philosophy was shaped directly by his mentor, Henry Picard. Grout began applying this teaching ethos to a stocky 10-year-old boy by the name of Jack Nicklaus in 1950 at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. While coaching Nicklaus to 18 major-championship victories over the next 36 years, Grout also would coach Raymond Floyd, Lanny Wadkins and David Graham to major titles. He also worked with numerous other Tour professionals, including Jerry Heard, J.C. Snead, Gibby Gilbert and Olin Browne.

Nicklaus was, however, Grout’s most successful student. Together, they developed a unique arrangement where Nicklaus would visit Grout at the start of each season for intensive work on the fundamentals of the game, literally starting over from scratch. Then Nicklaus would consult Grout periodically for tune-ups and minor modifications when he was struggling with his form. Grout made annual visits to the Masters, U.S. Open and PGA Championship, but generally held back from instructing Nicklaus at tournament sites.

Grout shared his knowledge with players of all levels through three books: “Let Me Teach You Golf As I Taught Jack Nicklaus; “On the Lesson Tee: Basic Golf Fundamentals,” and “Jack Grout’s Golf Clinic: Jack Nicklaus’ Teacher and Coach.”

Grout continued to teach and promote the game until his death in Tequesta, Florida, at the age of 79. He is remembered for his patience, vast instruction knowledge and as an inspiring spirit in the world of golf. His life story was told in the recent book, “Jack Grout: A Legacy in Golf,” co- authored by Grout’s son, Dick, a PGA golf professional in South Carolina, and journalist Bill Winter.

JAMES RIDYARD

James Ridyard is a leading golf instructor, researcher and co-owner of the Short Game Secrets brand. A growing presence in the world of golf media, Ridyard is a regular contributor to Europe’s leading golf magazine, Today’s Golfer, which is based in the UK. As an instructor, Ridyard spends the majority of his time teaching elite players but also has a strong background in junior development.

After moving away from playing competitively, Ridyard sought out many of the brightest minds in golf instruction in order to find answers to the multitude of questions he had about all aspects of performance, from technical to the psychological. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this process was learning to structure his own thoughts and research into areas that he believed to be lacking in research and development.

Ridyard co-founded Short Game Secrets with John Graham in 2013, as an outlet for his ongoing short- game research. It has led to industry-leading independent video sales and visiting the United States, Europe and Asia to deliver seminars to amateurs and professionals alike.

JIM HARDY, PGA

Jim Hardy is best known for his original thoughts on the golf swing, theories born from near 50 years of golf teaching experience. His resume includes earning all-American honors at Oklahoma State University, playing on the PGA and Champions Tours, instructing and coaching more than 100 Tour professionals, teaching and mentoring professional instructors, and tireless research on swing mechanics.

Hardy’s accolades are impressive. He was named National PGA Teacher of the Year in 2007 and was inducted into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in 2011. He has been on the GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teachers list for more than 25 years.

His first key teaching point claims that all golf swings are either one-plane or two-plane. Hardy’s interest in the golf swing inspired years of research on the subject, and he authored his best-selling instruction book, “The Plane Truth for Golfers,” in 2005. The book’s national and international success spawned a hugely popular DVD series and a second book, “The Plane Truth for Golfers: Master Class,” which was presented as a series of lessons.

Hardy’s third book, “Solid Contact,” presents his unique diagnosis code using a plus/minus system, which allows golfers and instructors to correctly diagnose faults in any swing. He is currently writing his fourth book on the subject of the various swing releases in golf, in which he will discuss the importance of the swing release and how to find one that works best for different golfers and for specific shots.

With his Plane Truth Golf partner, Chris O’Connell, Hardy has created a number of instructor-certification programs worldwide that have been completed by more than 350 teachers. He has presented as a featured instructor four different times at the PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit.

Hardy has been a frequent contributor for GOLF Magazine, Golf Digest and has served as color analyst for NBC and ESPN. He currently teaches PGA and Champions Tour professionals Peter Jacobsen, Olin Browne, Duffy Waldorf, Darren Clarke, David Duval and Scott Piercy, among others.

DAVID LEADBETTER, PGA

Originally from Worthing in Sussex, England, David Leadbetter began his career in golf on the European and South African Tours. He soon realized his interest was in the technique, mechanics and intricacies of the game, which eventually led him to spend more time teaching than playing.

Soon after his retirement from playing, Leadbetter began to incorporate his methods and philosophies into a stringent, holistic training program for qualified instructors that remains unmatched today.

Since launching the first Leadbetter Golf Academy more than 30 years ago, he has coached players to more than a dozen Major Championship titles and over 100 individual worldwide tournament victories, with four of those players having held first place in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Leadbetter is revered as one of the world’s leading authors on golf instruction, having sold more than 2 million copies of his seven books on the topic. He also has written countless articles for Golf Digest.

Leadbetter has produced a number of instructional videos, DVDs, an interactive video game, and other mixed media. He has designed and co-designed a number of training aids, including the SwingSetter and SwingSetter Pro, all dedicated to helping people play better golf.

After introducing the SwingSetter and SwingSetter Pro, Leadbetter launched a training grip and a glove, both designed to promote a better grip. His partnership with MVP Sport lead to the introduction of The Leadbetter Collection, a complete line of training aids available at many of the world’s leading golf retailers.

Today, Leadbetter remains a respected voice in golf instruction, coaching several top PGA, LPGA and European Tour players; hosting his own satellite radio show; authoring new publications; developing new training aids; and continuing to bring the same innovative and quality instruction to players everywhere through one of the many Leadbetter Golf Academy locations and on the lesson tee.

BUTCH HARMON

Butch Harmon has been involved in the golf arena for more than 49 years. His father, Claude Harmon, a renowned club and teaching professional and 1948 Masters Champion, introduced him to the game.

Butch Harmon followed in his father’s footsteps by playing on the PGA TOUR from 1969-71, and in 1971 he won the B.C. Open. For 14 years running, Harmon has been voted as the top instructor in a poll of his peers as conducted by Golf Digest.

Harmon is the President of the Butch Harmon School of Golf, which is headquartered in Henderson, Nevada. He also has golf schools in Dubai, Macau and Florida. Harmon travels around the country playing in corporate and charity golf outings.

He heads the Harmons Heroes Foundation, helping disabled war veterans through golf. Harmon is a leading analyst for British Sky Broadcasting for the last 16 years and covers the Masters, U.S. Open, PGA Championship, Ryder Cup, Players Championship, and other leading golf events. Additionally, Harmon has been a teaching instructor to several PGA TOUR professionals, and he currently works with Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Jimmy Walker and LPGA Tour Player Natalie Gulbis.

JIM McLEAN, PGA

Jim McLean is the PGA Director of Golf at Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami. He is also the owner of the Jim McLean Golf Schools in Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, New Jersey, Utah, Mexico, Spain and the Dominican Republic.

McLean has authored more than 20 top-selling instructional books, videos and DVDs. Yet, he is best known for his research on the golf swing, which led to him coining the terms the “X” and “Y” Factors. The X Factor describes body motions, body angles and body positions of golfers. Another unique teaching tool that McLean brainstormed, the Eight Step Swing teaching system, became both a book and video. The video is still the No. 1 golf DVD sold in America, and the book was ranked by Sports Illustrated as one of the top golf instruction books of the 20th century.

In addition to earning All-American honors as a player at the University of Houston, McLean’s achievements in the game are laudable. He is one of very few people to have ever qualified for the U.S. Junior, the U.S. Amateur (four times), the U.S. Open (twice) and the U.S. Senior Open. McLean was named Section Teacher of the Year several times in Florida, and in 1994, he was the recipient of the National PGA Teacher of the Year Award.

McLean has mentored and coached more than 100 PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour players, including Gary Player, Ben Crenshaw, Curtis Strange, Bernhard Langer and Sergio Garcia. He has also worked extensively with junior golfers (to name a few: Cristie Kerr, Erik Compton, James Vargas, Liz Janangelo, Tyler Leon) who, since 1996, have all reached the No. 1 ranking in America. No fewer than eight instructors on GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers learned under McLean’s guidance.

GREG NORMAN, PGA

Since turning professional in 1976, Greg Norman has captured 91 tournament victories worldwide, including two Open Championships. He spent 331 weeks as the No. 1 player in the world and became a World Golf Hall of Fame inductee in 2001.

Norman has approached business with the same vigor with which he attacked the golf course and parlayed his success into a multi- national corporation, Great White Shark Enterprises (GWSE), for which he currently serves as Chairman & CEO.

With 17 different businesses today, GWSE is a mini-conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of well-established and successful companies ranging from lifestyle-driven consumer products (apparel, wine, beef, sunglasses) to golf course design, event management (three PGA Tour events), real estate development, investment funds and a restaurant, to name a few.

While his well-documented accomplishments on the golf course have assured Norman’s place in sporting history, his sound business acumen has established him as a world-class entrepreneur.
