US adventure to Pebble Beach

Hi Guys.

Dave, Scott and myself are about to head off on our US adventure to Pebble Beach, Through San Francisco and North Idaho via a place called Coeur D Alene. We have golf booked at Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay and Poppy Hills all venues of the AT&T golf tournament held In Monterey, California and then up north we are playing a private course called Hayden Lake, The number 1 course in Idaho which is Circling Raven and our special destination the CDA Resort which is in the top ten resort courses in America and home of the floating green. The group is excited, the weather forecast looks great (but it is why we go this time of year) and a couple of us have even been playing all right.

Our 2.45pm flight today will get us into San Fran at 11.08 Tuesday morning over there were we will make our way to the hotel, into town for a golf shopping expedition and dinner at the world famous Pier 39 overlooking the Golden Gate bridge.

We hope you look forward to a detailed account of our travels for the next few weeks and we will try to post as many pictures as we can to give you a look as well.

By the way we have been in contact with the Golfecoach, our old mate Bob Duncan and he is all primed for his visit arriving October 26^th for a month. We will be holding some ½ day golf schools as well as a weekend @ Wiseman’s while Bob Is out here, so go to the website and check out our video invitations as well as the GPS pages in the golf schools section. Bobs visit is going to be great fun and should prove a terrific opportunity for anyone who comes into contact with Bobs laid back manner and ideal teaching model.

Stay safe and play well and we will see you when we get back to the land of OZ

All the best.

August 26th - 27th - 28th Super Schools

Over the weekend of August 26^th, 27^th and 28^th Absolute Golf Held its first Super School for two years, with guest coaches Bryan Ferguson (Melbourne Golf Academy), Paul Buchanan (US PGA) and Scott Davis (Sydney Olympic Park) in attendance. The schools were very well attended with 40 golfers enjoying the fine weather, stimulating topics, the pros good humour and Riverside Oaks hospitality. 

After dividing the attendees into profiled learning groups, we took them over Pitching and Putting on the practice areas, working on topics not regularly covered by coaches in this country. Bringing in the guest coaches adds a dimension and we all feed off each other. After the two range sessions, we went inside for a magnificent Riverside Oaks Terrace BBQ and after lunch we broke into groups and hit the course. With each group having a Professional assigned to it we continued the instruction with each pro having a topic that he worked on with the players and after two holes the pro’s rotated to the next group making sure everyone got to spend time with each pro. The practical (on-course) sessions are integral to the golfers improvement as it allows them to put what they have learned into play, under the watchful eye of the pro.

Special thanks to Paul, Bryan and Scott for their attendance at the schools and to Riverside Oaks Golf Club for looking after us so well. See below some pictures and a testimonial from the weekend.
