Celebrity Opportunity Interested in having you, your club or one of your programs, players or students featured in a publication with a distribution of 14,000 in the Tucson Market or over 20,000 in the Phoenix Metro Area? Of course you do! Click here to submit http://www.gogolfarizona.com/index.php/submit-tee-to-green . You may upload a photo to go along with your story as well. Surprise your family, friends and “boss” by promoting you and your facility. Special thoughts go out to Ken Steinke, a Southwest Section PGA Apprentice working at Green Valley Golf Schools following a long career in the Marine Corps. Ken unexpectedly spent last weekend having a “pacemaker” installed. Shortly after Ken had left a meeting at the Section Office--- his heart “stopped”—then started. While in a nearby hospital for observation his heart did this again—so “in” went the pacemaker. If you get the chance—ask Ken about the experience—it is quite a story. Not missing a “beat”, Ken is already back to work and will be traveling to Florida later this month to finish up his Level 3 testing to complete the process of becoming a PGA member. All the best to Ken and his new “technology”. Schwab Cup Tickets for Charity Want to see the top 30 PGA Senior Tour Players up close and personal? You and your members can purchase an “ANY DAY” ticket for $20 at the following link: https://www.schwabcuptfc.com/tickets/forward.php?C=SWSPGA By selecting the SWSPGA Foundation as your “charity” –funds from these ticket sales will come directly to our foundation. This is a great way to see some of the best in the world practice and play the game we love—while supporting our foundation at the same time. Bring some of your members, family or friends out to see this event! On the Road Bob Doyle, the new Regional Player Development manager will be “ on the road” the next couple months to visit with clubs to spread the work about Golf 2.0. Bob will also be joined by either me or Mike Bergman to find out more about what is going on with you and your facilities as well as to share what is going on with the Section. We look forward to visiting with you and sharing the good news stories from our travels about what is taking place in your life and at your facilities. Best of luck to Marty Jerston and Mike Frye as the travel to Kiawah Island to participate in this year’s PGA Championship. We look forward to hearing stories about their experience upon their return.

Jim McLean TrackMan Seminar in 2012 Top Reasons To Attend 1. Earn your Trackman University Level I & II Certification 2. Learn Teaching Systems You Can Implement Without A TrackMan 3. Receive Valuable Research About The Golf Swing & Ball Flight Laws 4. Receive 8 PGA MSR Points 5. One Year Membership to Trackman University Online 6. Learn Valuable Golf Instruction Theories Using TrackMan Data Jim McLean and TrackMan University are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration where the two parties will deliver education seminars across the USA in 2012. McLean is a long time TrackMan owner and one of the top golf instructors in the world, named 1994 PGA of America Teacher of The Year, and currently ranked No.3 by Golf Digest, among many other distinctions. McLean was one of the first golf instructors to declare that Face Angle was far more important than Club Path in determining Launch Direction. TrackMan has since then proven McLean´s theory to be true. TrackMan, among other discoveries, has further proven that Club Path and Face Angle – as a rule of thumb - determine Launch Direction on a ratio of 1 to 4. TrackMan University is providing education and certification programs for golf industry professionals (instructors, fitters, coaches and players) who want to enhance their knowledge about the measured data parameters (swing and ball flight analysis) and the underlying theory about the ball flight laws. The first Jim McLean and TrackMan University seminar was held on March 19, 2012, at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the opportunity to learn an incredible amount of information from the TrackMan University staff as well as Jim McLean. The semi nar package includes a one-year TrackMan University Member ship and one day seminar with Jim McLean and TrackMan. During the one-day seminar, attendees will learn about McLean’s experience with TrackMan. Jim integrates the TrackMan data in teaching his students the various swing principles to improve. TrackMan Vice-President Matt Frelich, a PGA Professional, will support Jim McLean by presenting TrackMan University curriculum Level 1 & 2 (pictured on right). By attending the seminar, attendees become TrackMan University members and will be able to log in at TrackMan University (http://trackmanuniversity.com/) for achievement of TrackMan Certified Professional Level I & II status, including the possibility to achieve future TrackMan Certified Professional Level III Master status. Future 2012 seminar dates include the 30th of July at Jim McLean Texas Golf Center in Ft. Worth, Texas. The 12th of November at Sun Ridge Canyon in Scottsdale, Arizona. The seminars are USD 675 per participant. For current TrackMan University members the price is USD 250.
