HSPSE are pleased to announce the success of their first visit to Thailand to deliver the ever growing and popular Accredited Instructor Programme. Nine of the best teaching professionals from Thailand, and a Malaysian Teaching Professional joined the programme to discover more about the swash putting philosophy.
The programme Instructors were Director of Instruction Phil Kenyon and Level Two Accredited Instructor Shay Smart. The programme was delivered at the fantastic Lakewood Golf Club located just outside of Bangkok.
Day one consisted of an introduction to the Swash Putting philosophy and coaching methods. The coaching professionals themselves also were assessed using SAM Puttlab and video analysis. The data was then used to allow the instructors to relate theory into practice and allow the attendees to learn through experience.
The 2nd day saw practical sessions where each professional worked through the proposed changes and the instructors demonstrated how as a coach these changes are implemented and how putting fitting forms and integral part of coaching.Teaching Aids where also covered and how they can be used to enhance the coaching experience.
The response from the Thai professionals was excellent, with a high level of knowledge already established by the professionals it made for an interesting and very interactive couple of days.
The feedback from the attendees was fantastic and Harold Swash Putting is already planning a level two course to follow up on the demand from, and success of, this initial visit.
Khob-Kun-Ka Thailand!
