HSPSE are pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2nd Level Two Accredited Instructor Programme in Asia at the Palm Island Resort, Guangdong, China.
After completing Level One, David Largent (Hong Kong PGA), Kantinan Siritanasab (Thai PGA), Patrick Foy (WGTF) and Chris Mars (South African & Hong Kong PGA) attended the 2nd tier of the coaching programme to further educate themselves along their journey as specialist putting instructors.
On day one of the 2 day course, Director of Instruction Phillip Kenyon presented further insights into the Swash philosophy. The first day consisted of an in-depth seminar looking at the common putting faults and their fixes, as well as practical demonstrations on to how to integrate modern technology such as high speed video, forceplates and SAM Puttlab into day to day teaching
The first day Phil Kenyon also presented example case studies and insights into his work with the likes of Ross Fisher, Martin Kaymer, David Howell, Henrik Stenson and Oliver Fisher amongst others, to allow the coaches a clearer understanding of the philosophy in practice. Day 2 presented a different challenge for the attendees as they themselves were observed and assessed as they delivered a series of lessons to students.
Overall the coaches expressed their enjoyment of the 2 days, and all passed on positive feedback on how the programme is helping them help their students to become better putters.
A big thank you to Shay Smart and Plam Island Resort, China for hosting the event.
