August 26th - 27th - 28th Super Schools

Over the weekend of August 26th, 27th and 28th 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.
