Looking forward to it Lynn, and to meeting more of the 'team' in person!
Those who have read the commentary on last year's Barclays Classic Golf Academy know that Ed provided valuable assistance during my half dozen or so outdoor clinics. These were conducted during the tournament in the short game area at Westchester CC, just a couple of hundred yards from the 18th green. When you're giving a clinic and you look up to see the best players in the world walking down the fairway during a major PGA TOUR event, you know something special is going on!
Ed is a gifted communicator who really knows his stuff, and I am pleased to announce that he will once again be on hand to help me get the job done.
This year, Lynn Blake Golf, LLC will be conducting two major Academies at the Barclays Classic. The first is for Barclays Bank and its private clients just off the 18th green. The second is for the PGA TOUR and the sponsors of the tournament to be located in Hospitality Village between the 9th and 10th fairways. This last event will be sponsored by Gillette. As you can read in the press releases for both events, we have an elite staff of eight highly-qualified instructors for the events. The tournament is also providing us with two administrative volunteers. Combined, this is a wonderful team of ten, one of which I am truly proud.
Here are a few photos of last year's outdoor clinics, with Ed standing behind me in Photo #4.
