Golf Magazine Top Teacher Offers Lessons For All Ages, Skill Levels
(THE COLONY, Tex.) – The Old American Golf Club – designed by Tripp Davis and PGA TOUR/Ryder Cup star Justin Leonard – today announces instructional programs and individual lessons taught by Director of Instruction and GOLF Magazine top teacher Marius Filmalter.
Filmalter, who has worked with some of the world’s best golfers, will offer one-hour individual and group lessons for accomplished golfers, beginners, juniors, seniors, women and members. Customized programs are available via consultation with Filmalter and his instruction staff.
“Whether it is an individual lesson or one of our group programs, golfers will benefit tremendously from having their games molded by one of golf’s most respected teachers,” says Jeff Kindred, PGA General Manager.
“The Old American’s extensive practice facilities and extraordinary layout attract some of the Metroplex’s best golfers,” says Filmalter. “The combination of one of Texas’ premier golf facilities and clientele who love the game make it a perfect place to teach.”
For more than two decades, Filmalter has studied and identified the factors that allow golfers to perform at the highest levels, in particular those that translate to the fine motor skills involved in putting.
With past and present students including Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Anthony Kim, Hunter Mahan, Ryan Palmer, Chad Campbell and Y.E. Yang, GOLF Magazine recently named Filmalter their new “Tour Putting Coach.”
Individual lessons start at $180 per hour; for group and customized lessons plan rates, call (214) 682-2309.

About The Old American Golf Club
Inspired by the ‘Golden Age’ of golf course architecture between 1911 and 1937, The Old American’s natural contours, hazard styles, native grasses and green shapes were influenced by such masterpieces as Shinnecock Hills, National Golf Links, Prairie Dunes and Crystal Downs.
Davis, an accomplished amateur player and former All-American at the University of Oklahoma and Leonard, who played his college golf at the University of Texas, toured and played a handful of America’s classic Golden Age golf courses prior to starting the design process for The Old American.
The result is a golf course that emphasizes strategy and shot-making and flows with a natural rhythm from first tee to 18th green. The Old American features six sets of tees, ranging from the 5215-yard forward markers to the 7174-yard “Leonard” tournament tees. Davis and Leonard conceived the routing and layout with both medal and match play in mind, as golfers are required to hold “steady to par” through a number of holes, but enticed to gamble on birdie or better during select stretches of the course.
