MIAMI, November 30, 2005 — The number one rated golf school in America is expanding internationally with the opening of exclusive Jim McLean Golf Schools in Freeport, Grand Bahamas Island; Madrid, Spain; and Calgary, Canada. The three new schools will teach Jim McLean’s exclusive 8-Step Swingâ?¢ system utilizing his state-of-the-art SUPERSTATIONâ?¢ learning facility. This expansion is due to increased international demand for one of the world’s most recognized golf instructors, and his highly trained teaching staff.
PGA Master Professional Jim McLean has utilized his successful 8-Step Swing system to help students ranging from beginners to professionals such as Tom Kite and Cristie Kerr. The system isolates eight essential areas that contribute to a sound swing and presents them in a highly teachable manner. Students are videotaped in Jim McLean’s patented SUPERSTATION facilities which include multiple indoor and outdoor hitting bays outfitted with digital video and computer monitors that capture every key swing point from the exact same position each time, allowing the Master Instructors to immediately analyze and evaluate the swing. Adjustments can be made on the spot – repeated, recorded and reviewed – resulting in an improved game for any level of player. This indoor/outdoor instruction program is part of McLean’s "theory of elimination" that breaks down the critical aspects of each students’ swing to understandable ideas that every student can achieve.
Jim McLean Golf Schools has recently opened its first international location. Jim McLean’s Golf Schools’ Bahamas location is a AAA Four Diamond resort, the Westin at Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort. The dazzling destination offers superb accommodations and two stunning and diverse courses. Later this year, additional world class schools will open at Golf Santander in Madrid, Spain and Shaw-Nee Slopes Golf Course in Calgary, Canada. All of these facilities are committed to taking the undisputed #1 Golf Schools in America to the status of #1 in the world!
"I have been very patient and waited for the right opportunities to expand my schools," said McLean. "Although we have previously had some wonderful offers, the timing was just not right. A huge piece for expansion is having totally trained and trusted instructors willing to move. I have had no interest in just putting my name on a golf school. Each of the new schools must have certified instructors who have my complete faith."
Jim McLean is the author of 10 top selling instructional books and dozens of videos and CDRoms including the X-Factor Swing, The 8-Step Swing and The Three Scoring Clubs. McLean, one of the top three ranked instructors in the world, has taught more than 100 PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA Tour players. Jim McLean Golf Schools instructors include a who’s who list of top instructors, each of whom have completed McLean’s intense training program for consistent delivery of his patented methods.
