"Distinguished Presenter, on behalf of the PGA Center for Learning & Performance, and the PGA Instruction Committee, I would like formally to invite you to be a presenter at the 2011 PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit; to be held at The Faldo Institute on January 24th and 25th, 2011 (located in Orlando, Florida). Based upon our prior discussion, your talents and abilities were recognized by the Committee and your peers as being vital to share with PGA professionals for the advancement of our Association's instructors."
I got the call, but couldn't believe it.
There are 28,000 members of the PGA of America.
There will be 30 speakers at The Summit.
Whoa.
This biannual Summit immediately precedes the PGA Merchandise Show, one of the largest trade events in the country. http://www.pga.com/merchandise/2010/index.cfm
Michael Breed of The Golf Channel will kick things off as Master of Ceremonies at 8 AM.
Sir Nick Faldo goes at 8:10.
I go at 9:20 (for 45 minutes, including Q&A).
Then again at 11 AM (in a 45-minute breakout session).
My chosen topic?
Alignments Are Forever!
I'll also participate Thursday, January 27, in the USA Today Golf Tips Hotline and Video Lessons sponsored by the PGA.
All this is a very big deal, and I'm proud to be part of it.
When I boarded that airplane to see Homer Kelley in Seattle in January 1982, then penned my first post in these threads just seven years ago . . .
Who'da thunk it?
P.S. Thanks Bagger, Bambam and Trig. Without you, no way this could have happened!
Normally, it takes 20 years in a chosen field to be recognized as an "overnight success!"
Congratulations everyone!

I have a copy of Greg McHatton's and Mike Hebron's presentations at previous PGA teaching summits. How great would it be if a recording of your presentation could be available to us

The PGA routinely tapes these sessions and makes the video available to its membership at an affordable price. I've signed a 'media release' to allow my presentation to be recorded and used for that purpose. I don't know what rights I would have to make the video available on this site but will find out when the time comes. Thanks for your interest!

This will be a special presentation to have and study. It will be worth the price.
Congrats to Lynn. Since the inception of the PGA Teaching and Coaching back in 1988 there have been many talented speakers and teachers about all aspects of the game from physical to mental and skill building to you name it. Some you could take away a bit and a piece here and there....go back home and incorporate what you learned into your teaching style, ideas and concepts. But I can assure you that there has never been anyone more enthusiastic as Lynn is about his passion of helping others and giving them the power to help themselves. Now let's top that off by saying that there have been few in the history of teaching that can give the story of the golf swing In such a precise and accurate way. The number would be single digits and the time period that I would look at would be over the last 100 years. Lynn is a great teacher and this appearance at the
T & C Summit is just a step along the path. One deserved and one that will influence others that are in attendance.
Rick Murphy, PGA Professional
Thanks, guys. Flag me down at the Show if you see me. I'll be there the 27th and 28th and want to meet each of you personally. In fact, send me your phone number, and I'll make it a priority to connect.
