Yoda At the 2011 PGA Teaching and Coaching Summit
Here's something I'm pleased to announce . . .

From Joseph Hallett and the PGA of America:
"Distinguished Presenter, on behalf of the PGA Center for Learning & Performance, and the PGA Instruction Committee, I would like formally to invite you to be a presenter at the 2011 PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit; to be held at The Faldo Institute on January 24th and 25th, 2011 (located in Orlando, Florida). Based upon our prior discussion, your talents and abilities were recognized by the Committee and your peers as being vital to share with PGA professionals for the advancement of our Association's instructors."

I got the call, but couldn't believe it.



There are 28,000 members of the PGA of America.

There will be 27 'presenters' at The Summit.

Whoa.



This biannual Summit immediately precedes the PGA Merchandise Show, the third largest trade event in the country. http://www.pga.com/merchandise/2010/index.cfm

Michael Breed
of The Golf Channel will kick things off as Master of Ceremonies at 8 AM.

Sir Nick Faldo goes at 8:10.

I go at 9:20 (for 45 minutes, including Q&A).

Then again at 11 AM (in a 45-minute breakout session).

My chosen topic?

Alignments Are Forever!


I'll also participate Thursday, January 27, in the USA Today Golf Tips Hotline and Video Lessons sponsored by the PGA.

All this is a very big deal, and I'm proud to be part of it.

When I boarded that airplane to see Homer Kelley in Seattle in January 1982, then penned my first post in these threads just seven years ago . . .

Who'da thunk it?



P.S. Thanks Bagger, Bambam and Trig. Without you, no way this could have happened!

Congratulations Yoda,

Someone should congratulate the comittee too. For picking you.

Homer probably would have been very pleased and also a bit surprised had he lived to see you appear on stage as one of TGM's foremost ambassadors - and with quite some impact too.



I hope you will share the manuscript with us after you've sustained the lag pressure for 2 x 45 minutes.

Normally, it takes 20 years in a chosen field to be recognized as an "overnight success!"

Congratulations everyone!

The PGA routinely tapes these sessions and makes the video available to its membership at an affordable price. I've signed a 'media release' to allow my presentation to be recorded and used for that purpose. I don't know what rights I would have to make the video available on this site but will find out when the time comes. Thanks for your interest!

This will be a special presentation to have and study. It will be worth the price.
