GolfTEC University graduates are ready to teach the world
Centennial, Colo. (June 25, 2012)… Along with the 1.8 million college students graduating this year, add another 75 who just earned their diplomas-the Class of ’12 from GolfTECGolfTEC University, the world’s leading school for golf instruction.
GolfTEC University (GTU) is the 10-day program required for every coach who is going to teach at a GolfTEC Improvement Center around the world. Established in 1997 at GolfTEC headquarters in Denver, GTU has graduated 1,030 Certified Personal Coaches and will certify another 200 coaches this year.
“Every coach who works at GolfTEC is required to go through GTU,” explains Andy Hilts, GolfTEC’s Vice President of Instruction and Education. “It doesn’t matter if we hired Butch Harmon or Jim McLean, they’d have to go through GTU if they are going to teach for us.”
The basis of the GTU curriculum is mastery of GolfTEC’s proprietary g-SWING software, which provides a fact-based diagnosis of the golf swing by combining motion analysis and video feedback. . The motion-analysis system has recently been updated with a new version of g-SWING, presently being rolled out to GolfTEC centers around the world.
Among the other highlights of GTU training are:
–Understanding and using drills and training aids to accelerate the learning process
–Using biofeedback tones to change the swing
–Club fitting with GolfTEC’s unbiased software that compares the golfer’s swing data to a database of more than 1,000 clubs for the most precise match
–Creating a sequential lesson plan
–Communicating the importance of a committed approach to golf improvement
–Actual live lessons and practical, hands-on exams.
GTU isn’t only for U.S.-based centers. Coaches from Canada and Mexico have been coming to Denver for years to learn the company’s teaching methods, software, and management systems. And with a major expansion program promising dozens of new GolfTEC improvement centers in Japan, Korea, and elsewhere, GTU is sure to be a bustling campus for years to come.
And unlike the graduates of other universities, these students have jobs waiting for them-teaching the most comprehensive and successful golf-instruction system in the world.
