Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week's email, we have all the latest news, events and offers from here at Ladyback Golf Club. Enjoy the read. |
It's been a busy old week with lots of activity at the Club. One thing that I've been working on for a little while now is our Michael Hebron Coaching Seminar (see details below). Ladybank members will have the opportunity to sign up first and see and hear from one of the best coaches in the world at your home Club.
This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear from a man who has shaped many people into great golfers and also been a guiding light to many coaches the world over. I really hope you can find the time to come along on the 5th of September. Early bird bookings now being taken in the Pro Shop. With a real pick, up in the weather we are now seeing some improved growth out on the golf course. This has led to an improvement in definition and rough lines etc. We hope you are enjoying the course and with plenty member golf of late we hope you are having a good start to the season?

Lundin Golf Club Dinner attended by Captain Brian McSkimming
I had the pleasure of attending the 150th celebration dinner at Lundin Golf Club on Saturday night. The event was well attended with Club Captain Brian Main and guest speakers giving an interesting insight to the history of the Club. Last Saturday Lundin held a team golf event when Ladybank were represented in four teams by Jim Hair, Dugald MacGregor, Jim Honeyman and Craig McEwan. A big congratulations to Jim Hair and his team who were winners of the morning starters. We wish Lundin well with the rest of their celebrations throughout 2018. |

Michael Hebron Coaching Seminar - Wednesday, 5 September
Michael was inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame in 2013. He was the 1991 PGA National Teacher of the Year and the 1990 National Horton Smith Award recipient for his contributions to PGA of Americas education programs. The first PGA of America Teaching and Coaching Summit, Dallas Tx. 1988 was his idea. He also organized the first European PGA AND Canadian PGA Teaching and Coaching Summits. Michael Hebron has received over 25 awards. He has been invited to do education seminars in India, Australia, Canada, Finland, Chile, Japan, Costa Rica, England, Ireland, France, Italy, Wales, Scotland, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Spain, Denmark,Korea , Iceland . Has been invited to organizations, businesses, Yale, MIT and other colleges, universities and school districts throughout the United States to speak on the topic of learning.
If he had a choice, Michael has said would like to be known for how he delivers information to students rather than who the students he has spent time with are. Michael’s preference is to pass on the value of playful, student-centered/brain compatible approaches to learning, which supports learning anything, both information and motor skills to golfers at every level of the game. Michael refers to this as LEARNING POSITIVE GOLF. He has coached winners on the PGA, LPGA, EUROPEAN TOURS, Ryder Cup, Walker Cup players, a MASTERS, a US OPEN and a PGA champion, but enjoys his time with club golfers the most. Every year over 800 youth golfers take part in the programs offered at his Club, Smithtown Landing. Five high school golf teams also train and play their matches there.
