Clayton Robb, APGA Teacher of the Year in 1996, has been teaching golf ever since joining the Canadian Professional Golfers Association in 1960.  During this time, he has researched and taught many different methods of golf instruction.  He has come to the conclusion that in Canada, with the short golf season, it is very difficult to learn how to golf unless significant time is devoted to training during the winter months.  He believes that, typically, too few lessons, lasting for too long a period of time, are given to students and they are thus inundated with TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

Our teaching philosophy is based on the repetition of a concise set of drills that allows our students to practice without requiring the use of a golf ball.  These drills teach you how to swing, gradually building muscle memory and good swing mechanics.  Each student learns the mechanics of his or her own swing by picturing a "perfect swing" while doing the drills.

"Feeling is very important to this teaching method," says Clayton Robb, "We teach golfers to be more aware of the positioning of their bodies and the muscles being used in the golf swing. The result is a very natural swing that directs the club towards the target instead of focusing on the ball."  Robb believes too many golfers become "ball-bound," concentrating on hitting the ball instead of swinging the clubhead through to the target.  Beginners are introduced to the golf ball too early! By creating a mental picture of an ideal golf swing, combined with the physical sensations learned through several swing drills, golfers can develop a solid swing without any complicated analysis - just pure repetition without a golf ball.

"While other styles of golf teaching spend time correcting errors in a golfer's swing, we train a golfer to think positively," says Robb.  "We have found that a relaxed, more confident golfer learns more quickly and gets maximum enjoyment from the game."

The more lessons that Clayton gives, the more he is convinced that if anyone wants to learn how to golf or make game improvement swing changes, it is much easier to do so through the winter months.  The majority of beginners who want to learn how to golf, as well as seasoned golfers wishing to improve their game, start their lesson programs in the spring.  In locations where there is a short outdoor golf season, almost all students are also trying to play the game while learning.  This often leads to beginners becoming discouraged with their slow progress and others requiring changes in their game to fall back into their old habits.

A few reasons our schools are successful are:

• Quality and size of each class (a maximum of a eight to one ratio)
• You learn self analysis
• MAXIMUM Golf students get RESULTS
• You are taught according to your own unique physical characteristics and capabilities
• We build a personalized training program for you

After attending our schools, if your swing ever needs a little work, for whatever reason, you only have to return to the drills and concepts that we teach you to get right back on track.
