Went to the airport yesterday to pick up old friend Bob Duncan, who made the journey from the USA to spend a month with David and I doing some golf schools. His first day in Aus was a busy one with a catch up breakfast with David and myself, a Callaway fitting course at Sydney Olympic Park and an afternoon lesson at Llandilo Driving Range and then it was home to my place to catch up with one of his adopted families in Australia (Daves is the other one).
Bob is doing some marvelous stuff with his Golfer Positioning System website (GPS). At present he is putting together a document which has all the different lie and stance types with predicted outcomes, difficulty rating and even a probability score. This is the first of anything like this I have ever heard and is very impressive to look at and should be a god send for anyone who is new to the game or looking to improve what they are doing out on the course. He also showed me an interview he did with the golf course disigner David Mclay Kidd who designed not only the course he plays (Tetherow in Bend Oregon) but also designed Bandon Dunes and many more. He was saying that this is the way of the future and that not only Bob but Dave and myself are leading the new wave of golf instruction, which was very nice praise.
Our on course golf schools start next Friday, 4th November at Riverside Oaks with a following school on Sunday, 6th November. These classes are filling nicely (although we do have room in both sessions for more) we also have two more sessions on Friday the 11th and Sunday the 13th and these two sessions at present could do with a few more participants and we also have a weekend group at Wisemans Ferry Resort which is filing nicely but could also do with a few more attendees as well. If any of these classes are something you may be interested in please contact us at jeff@absolutegolf.com.au we might even have a copy of Bobs new chart for all the attendees.
will keep in touch.
