Golf Learning Center for Adults and Juniors

Brock is a native of the famed Monterey Peninsula.  He learned golf at the age of seven under his father’s tutelage.  He developed through junior golf and eventually played at the University of California, San Diego, where he was an All-American in 1993.  He played several years on the mini-tour circuit before turning to teaching the game.  Brock is known for his play (2008 and 2010 West Tennessee PGA Player of the Year) and his teaching (2010 and 2012 West Tennessee PGA Teacher of the Year).  Brock has a deep knowledge of swing mechanics, yet is able to convey learning to all ages and abilities in a fun and understandable way.    Broc

BROCK'S TIP OF THE MONTH

Just to keep encouraging you to consider T.P.I. training, I want you all to know that I have committed to physical training myself in 2013 and I am off to a good start.  It has been years since I had taken fitness this seriously.  In fact, I never have taken it this seriously (except maybe during basketball practice in high school!).  My workouts have been concentrated to 20 minute intense bursts through a training video (from the Biggest Loser show!) and two Titleist Performance Institute DVDs.  Despite working with T.P.I. for less than a year, the Tennessee PGA has asked me to speak at our annual Teaching/Coaching Summit on this subject.  Golf and fitness have taken the PGA Tour by storm, but it hasn’t reached the masses yet.  In fact, I am the only Memphis address that offers the T.P.I. fitness program!  A few chiropractors in Germantown and Collierville offer the program, but Windyke Country Club is the only golf facility, so take advantage of it!
 
I will be integrating T.P.I. into my $29 clinics this year.  If you remember, I offer $29 clinics on Friday’s from 4 – 5 pm.  I covered putting, chipping, and full swing last year and now have added a fitness session and a mental toughness seminar to the mix.  So, each month you have the opportunity to access any of these topics.  I will start with a mental toughness seminar on Friday, March 1^st.  T.P.I. fitness is the focus on the 8^th.  Putting falls on the 15^th, chipping on the 22^nd, and full swing on the 29^th.  The cycle repeats each month, with a different focus for each topic.  Use these affordable clinics to invite a friend, a spouse, or to meet others who love to work their games.   It really works for the beginner and the expert, so give it a try.
 
Lastly, if you are a ‘golf widow’ so to speak, and your husband uses the membership, but you rarely do, consider taking a ‘Get Golf Ready’ class.  This class covers rules, golf terminology and etiquette, and basic fundamentals of the swing.  It helps you get more comfortable in the golf environment so that you can use your membership to the fullest.  You don’t even have to have clubs, just the desire to learn more about the game.
 
Your coach,
