Here is a nice video highlighting Old Marsh Golf Club.

Peter Kessler takes you inside one of South Florida’s most inviting-and sporting-clubs. This is a must watch!

On Sunday December 8, I traveled to Doral in Miami to see my good friend Dr. Rob Neal. “Doc” is one of the world’s leading experts in golf biomechanics.  I have been fortunate to spend quite a bit of time with him over the years and always enjoy my time with him and Karen Harrison.  On this trip, I brought a mini-tour student of mine and we worked on his game and mine. This was an exceptionally productive trip.  Both Kris and I made substantial improvements evidenced by both numbers on Dr. Neal’s charts as well as an improved look on video.

John was interviewed by Brian Dobak of Pay It Forward Golf in the spring of 2012. Brian wanted John to share some of his thoughts on teaching to younger professionals in the industry. Take a look!

Scott McConnell, sophomore golfer on the Episcopal Academy’s Varsity Golf Team receives the Jacques Houdry Golf Award.

The award, endowed by Jacques and his wife Dorothy, honors the varsity player who has exhibited the best knowledge and appreciation of the rules, qualities of sportsmanship, and etiquette, which are prerequisites to the game. Jacques is, himself, an accomplished golfer.  In 1946 he was the Philadelphia Junior Champion and a year later played number one on the undefeated Princeton golf team. Jacques won the title of Club Champion at the Merion Golf Club in 1948, 1949, 1952, 1956, and 1958.  While in his twenties, he qualified and played in a number of major tournaments including five National Amateurs and two U.S. Opens.

Well deserved Scotty, a wonderful award to receive!
