$99.95


"Regular Price $149.95 -- Special Limited Time Offer $99.95 Peter Croker's Path to Better Golf Serious students and golf instructors rate Peter Croker as one of the most important teachers of this era. Internationally based, Peter Croker travels across Europe, the US, Asia and Australia annually delivering seminars, teaching schools and working with teachers wanting to improve results for their own students. Peter has also worked with a number of PGA pros who would rather not let it be known where their secrets come from. A little research will reveal who they are... All over the world, Peter's Professional Teaching ""Students"" are sought out by golfers and recognized by their golfing association peers as being Top Teachers in their sections. In 2002 Harper Collins published his Path to Better Golf Book. He has been featured in Golf Digest, appeared on the Golf Channel and written about in many golf publications worldwide. This DVD set introduces you to the definitions used, an understanding of ""cause and effect"" and a new understanding of how proper alignments help create truly effortless yet powerful results. The First Lesson is comprised of the definitions as well as demonstrations which will help the viewer understand how for years golfers have been confused by ""illusions"" related to lag and weight shift. The next lesson covers Putting. A number of important drills are demonstrated. Along with the drills, Peter discusses how to gain a consistent stroke and understand the mechanics at work on the green. Chipping is the next lesson in the series. In it you will learn the proper grip, stance, posture and alignments necessary to build a great short game, and the foundation for the full swing as well. You will discover the impact zone, and how compressing the golf ball leads to distance control. Several major breakthroughs await the patient student in this section. Following on from the Chipping lesson is Pitching. In this lesson, the student learns the proper method to load the hands in the back swing, maintain balance throughout the swing and stay relaxed. The student will gain an entirely new appreciation for how the hands help create the swing and allow the body to turn back and through resulting in a well struck shot. The final lesson on Disc One is Full Swing Part One. In this lesson Peter reviews grip, stance, posture as well as the other component parts of the swing such as forward press, waggle and takeaway. Disc Two continues the Full Swing Lessons with Parts Two through Four. These lessons demonstrate the body pivot, top of the back swing, going ""A to B"", start and end of impact, release, follow-through and finish. Drills associated with this section will enable the student to get beyond the thinking. Finally, watch Peter as he plays a few holes and follow along as he talks you through his though process and course management ideas. No complete catalog of lessons would be f

Kick Start Your Future With a Golf Career College

Many avid golfers don't realize that it doesn't just have to be a pastime. It can be a rewarding and financially successful career as well. A golf career college is the perfect stepping-stone to the day job of your dreams.

There are many misconceptions when it comes to golf as a career. Many people think that you have to be an amazing golfer naturally to have any sort of chance. This could not be further from the truth. Teaching golf and being a professional golfer are only a few of the amazing career opportunities in the field.

For many years, golf was just a casual sport shared by a few like-minded enthusiasts. In the last two decades, it has flourished into a worldwide industry all its own. Golf career colleges, teaching academies, courses, golf specialty shops, shippers and manufacturers, this list goes on and on. Therefore, it is plain to see that you don't need to always shoot under par to have a career in golf.

So if you have decided that golf is something that you want to do for a living, to pay the bills with, a golf career college is where you want to begin. Here, you will be able to decide what exactly interests you in a career in golf as well as learn which of your prior skills will help you along the way.

One of the most popular golf careers is the golf instructor. This is understandable, because they get to spend their entire shift on the course. However, there are some things you need to consider before embarking on this career. Above all, is a need for a great amount of patience. After all, you will be dealing with amateurs who might not have a grasp of the game at first.

Second most important is your ability to take what you know already, and show it to someone else. Many are gifted with the ability to teach naturally, but some have to work at it. And of course, you have to be a fairly good golfer to begin with.

A golf career college will be able to show you if you have the right stuff to be a professional golf instructor. But if you aren't cut out for teaching, don't worry because there are countless other opportunities for people with a love of the game and some dedication.

A lot of successful businesspeople realize halfway through their careers that they could be applying their skills in an industry they love. Golf course management can be a very lucrative, as well as entertaining way to earn a living. It is recommended that you have some past managerial experience before embarking on this career, but a golf career college can bring you the rest of the way.

You will learn about the maintenance of a course, the costs of clubhouses, staffing, taxes and everything else that could be involved in the management of a golf course.

Another exciting career that is explored in these courses is working in the golf accessory field. Either by running your own pro-shop or starting an online business, there are many opportunities in this booming industry. Since golf is becoming more popular by the day, the demand for new equipment and accessories is constantly on the rise.

No matter what your background, a love of golf is all you need to attend a golf career college and make your dream a reality.
