Show notes

Frank Moore P.G.A

has over 20 years of experience in golf instruction with an interesting teaching and playing background. Learning from many of today's golfing legends, Frank brings a unique blend of experience and perspective to the lesson tee. My first exposure to golf was in the early 70’s. I had a few lessons from the local pros. The first lesson, really sparked my interest in the golf swing. I improved quite a bit, and broke 80 that same year. Next, I took a few lessons from a pro that favored the Square to Square Method. I had a tough time with this, but I figured out a way to make it work. I went on to play college golf. I did fairly well, and made the All-Conference team one year. We had a good team, and won both the State Small College Tournament, and the District Tournament during my college years. I have now been in the golf business for over 20 years. I started as an assistant pro in Virginia. There I gave my first official golf lessons. The pro I was working for was interested in teaching, and seemed to like the Golf Digest instructors… Flick, Toski, etc.. I did the best I could to help the people, with what I knew. Later, I worked for a pro in North Carolina that favored Jimmy Ballard’s teaching methods. I learned a little about this type of teaching, and did use some of the ideas with my students. Next, I worked for a former tour player in Indiana. Here, we taught strictly according to the Jim Flick type format. We gave many, many group lessons, and did junior golf camps. The next several years I was back in North Carolina working as an assistant pro. I became a PGA Member during this time. I continued teaching, doing the best I could with the knowledge I had. I took a few lessons from an up and comming pro named David Leadbetter during this time. During these years I met a pro that was winning many local pro tournaments in the area. He actually played in the P.G.A. Championship, and made the cut. I found out he adhered to a method that had something to do with a machine concept. We met a few times. He gave me a few pointers, but later referred me to a teacher in South Carolina. I attended my first Golfing Machine School in 1988. The GSED was Tom Tomasello. I saw here a clear way to teach and learn the physics and geometry of a golf stroke. My teaching, and playing started to improve, as a result of my new knowledge. A year or so later, I attended the Advanced School that Tom offered. In attendance was Clarence Moore, 2 time U.S. Senior Amateur Champion. He gave a demonstration of his pattern. He was very impressive. He could Hit, or Swing equally well, at least it appeared that way to me. I picked up more useful information at this school, especially relating to the short game. I continued to work with Tom up to his death. I also worked some with Alex Sloan, GSED I gained more insight from Alex, although his methods were quite different from Tom’s. Later, I taught for 3 years with GSED George Kelnhofer. There, I was exposed to many tour caliber players, and good amateur players. David Duval, Larry Mize, Charley Rymer, Stuart Cink, Craig Perks, and Charles Howell were the many players that came through there. During the next several years I taught in Atlanta. During this time I knew, and worked periodically with Tom Ness, GSEM I learned a great deal from Tom, especially about the short game. I also knew, and worked some with Chuck Evans, GSED. I developed back problems later in my career. During this time I contacted David Lee, because I heard he had a method of swinging that was back friendly. I found that David had quite a knowledge of physics, as it pertains to golf. I taught briefly in his indoor facility, Gravity Golf, in Atlanta. A year or so later I met Lynn Blake, GSEM. Lynn has a unique level of understanding of The Golfing Machine, due to his personal involvement with the author, Homer Kelley. Through my involvement with Lynn, along with Ted Fort and Steve Ferguson, I gained an even greater insight into The Golfing Machine. I am currently the Director of Instruction at The Frank Moore Golf Academy at Dunes West Golf and River Club, in Mount Pleasant, SC.

Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy - 9.18.10 - iPhone App, First Tee & CJ Goecks, Perfect Connection Golf - Hour 1 Sep 18, 2010

Show notes

During Mike's Course Mike and Billy discuss the First Tee of The Central Coast Fundraiser and the GTR iPhone App listener comments and more.One of Golf Digest’s Top 20 Instructors in Texas, CJ is also Director of the Performax Golf Academy at Craig Ranch.After cutting his teeth as a coach at the Leadbetter Junior Academy in Bradenton, Florida, CJ served as Instructor with the Northern Golf Federation in Mexico … was a coach for the Uruguayan Golf Federation … and has worked with several world-class junior golfers, as well. He is acknowledged one of the fastest-rising stars in the U.S. golf instruction community.CJ has also served as Master Instructor for Jim McLean, and was Director of The Junior Academy at Waterchase in Fort Worth, Texas.He works with several PGA TOUR players, LPGA players, and the number-one-ranked female in all of college golf.At the very heart of the Perfect Connection Swing’s success is CJ’s unique philosophy on swing development. As he explains it:“I was always wondering why no golf swing I ever tried could alleviate the pain in my back, shoulders, and wrists. But in the course of my studies, I realized that every other swing had been developed strictly from the angle of ‘performance’ … with really no regard for its effect on your body. And they were simply never meant to be used for thirty, forty, fifty years or more!I figured it was about time we have a golf swing where the very first consideration in design is the long-term well-being of the golfer … with the actual performance being second.

"the greatest aspect however, is performance improved dramatically when the body was allowed to work the way it was designed." CJ Goecks perfectconnectiongolfswing .com

Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy - 9.11.10 - Henri Johnson, CE0 - FlightScope & Mike Jacobs, Explosive Golf Schools - Hour 2 Sep 11, 2010

Show notes

"Being named Best New Product at the PGA Fall Show in Las Vegas confirms the level of innovation that FlightScope brings to the market,” said FlightScope President Henri Johnson. “We are pleased to be honored in this way and hope that our FlightScope customers can share in the recognition, for investing in our technology."Unlike traditional launch monitors that are bound by cables, the FlightScope® Prime allows golfers, golf professionals, and club fitters to analyze golf swings anywhere! Completely portable, and easy to set up, the FlightScope® Prime utilizes a battery that can keep its charge for more than 5-hours.And just like it’s predecessor, the FlightScope® Kudu, the Prime offers the most detailed analysis of a golf swing with a multitude of readouts such as: distance (carry and roll); shot grouping screens, a club analysis screen, a driver optimization screen, results screen, and of course, you get such readouts as ball speed, clubhead speed, spin, and much, much more.My most effective sessions have been with serious golfers who want to dial in the distance they hit their wedges,” said Ryan Daily, the Assistant Director of the PGA Golf Management Program at Campbell University. “I have yet to have someone of FlightScope for the first time that can predict the carry yardage of their wedges within 5-yards. Most of the time our students are almost 10-yards off! They think they hit their pitching wedge 120-yards when they really hit it 112. It’s amazing how, after just 2 or 3 sessions, a player can hit a ball within 2-to-3 yards of his target. Immediate, precise, and accurate feedback leads to quick results.”As Head PGA professional at Rock Hill Country Club in Long Island, NY, Michael is one of only 21 teachers world wide who have earned the designation of Golf Stroke Engineering Doctorate from the Golfing Machine Organization.

The Explosive Golf Schools and Michael's web site offers a unique opportunity for golfers of all abilities to learn and improved their golf swings. His dynamic and unique presentation style combines his extensive knowledge and credentials as a certified golfing machine instructor to have helped both amateur and professional golfers from around the country become both better players and teachers.
