I have just finished our latest Masters course in Dussledorf, Germany and it was great to see members coming back and wanting to learn some new skills and develop their teaching programmes.
These courses are always excellent and I can get to see how people have progressed since taking their original EGTF course.
We had five students keen to learn, and the weather was just about in our favour during the week, which is obviously a bonus.
The seminars, range work and playing tests were all conducted well, with only one member not passing the playing ability test, due to some injuries sustained before the course began.
We covered some important topics, that I feel are necessary as you start to move to the next level as a coach, including:
Thanks to everyone who attended the Masters course, and also to Bob Lamb EGTF teaching professional who works at Op De Niep Golf Club, for all his help during my stay.
Have a look at the website to see if you can fit in some CPD work this year, it can only make you a better teacher.

The ProStance Teaching Aid has become a must have for any golf professional. Whether you are playing or teaching, the feedback this product gives you is absolutely fantastic.
It was designed by EGTF Coaches, Stewart Craig and Dr Paul Hurrion and has 10 years’ of biomechanical research into balance problems at address and at impact.
Now used by many of the world’s best players and teachers, including Padraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, Oliver Wilson and many more.
It soon helps you to realise that poor balance causes many of the faults we see from day to day in teaching the golf swing. Bill Abbott says, ‘It is now a permanent fixture in my bag, whether or not I am teaching or practising.’
It is without doubt the best teaching aid on the market, and without it you will be guessing as to what the problem is.
The ProStance is available to EGTF Professionals for own use or in a Teaching Pack of 10. For more details go to www.pro-stance.com
The GEL range incorporates groove face technology, already proven to achieve true roll faster than other putters on the market, heavier putter shafts for less twisting at impact, slightly heavier heads for stability in the stroke, and aluminum inserts for soft feel.
The full range of GEL putters can be viewed on their website www.gelgolf.co.uk There are about 14 models to choose from.
The Paul Hurrion signature range is extremely good and has already received many awards. If you haven’t tried one yet, get your hands on the model of your choice and benefit from 10 years of Paul’s research into finding the perfect putter.
GEL PUTTING MIRROR – TRAINING AID
Excellent for a number of different drills. (You can see 9 practice drills used by Paul with the Putting Mirror on the GEL Golf website www.gelgolf.co.uk)
PRICES FOR 2011
Ordinary GEL range – £62.50 + VAT
Paul Hurrion Signature range – £100.00 + VAT

Quintic Consultancy have been in the computer analysis software business for many years now and their products are used in many sports around the world. The company was developed by Dr Paul Hurrion, one of the foremost Biomechanics experts in the golf world, and also a member of the EGTF.
Bill Abbott says, ‘the software is extremely good and I have used it for the last eight years in the EGTF courses and in my own coaching. I have always found it to be a first class product.’
‘I was up at Paul’s putting lab recently, where he was showing me the new Quintic Ball Roll Analysis program, and I must say it was very impressive. When you can show people the launch angle of their putts, sideways spin, amount of forward roll, any backspin produced and much more, then I am sure they are going to be very impressed. If you are going to take putting seriously and want to offer your students something extra, then have a look at the Quintic Ball Roll Software.’
The following prices are available to EGTF Professionals for Quintic Products:
Quintic Ball Roll Software – £4,950 (includes 200 frames per second camera, mounting platform for the camera, floodlight for indoor use)
Quintic Biomechanics v17 – £1,500 + VAT (the top video analysis program on the market)
Quintic Coaching v17 – £575 (recommended for most coaches, it has everything you will ever need to give video lessons)
Quintic Sports – £195 (an entry level package, but still a very good program and a good way into video coaching) – no VAT on download from web.
Quintic are also an official retailer for the Casio EX F1 high speed video camera. New to the market last year, it provides capture speeds of 300/600/1200 frames per second, which for coaching is fantastic (almost like the super slow motion you see on the TV)
