Instructors
Lynn Blake, GSED
Lynn Blake, is one of the few individuals fortunate enough to have been trained personally by Homer Kelley. In January 1982, then an amateur, he received from him the designation Golf Stroke Engineering Master (GSEM). He turned professional soon thereafter, and over the next three years, while continuing his financial business, conducted more than forty golf schools in six states. In the fall of 1984 and after the death of Mr. Kelley, though his golf schools were successful by any definition, he determined that he could no longer 'ride two horses,' and he ceased his golf activities. Twenty years later, he has returned as an authoritative voice of The Golfing Machine®.
In April 2004, he conducted his inaugural 'comeback' Workshop for both professionals and amateurs at the PGA TOUR Academy in St. Augustine, Florida. Over the next eighteen months, ten more sold-out Workshops followed at major resort and private club locations in seven states from coast-to-coast and also in Germany. During this time, he earned the designation Golf Stroke Engineering Doctor (GSED) by The Golfing Machine, LLC. In addition, he has taught numerous Private Workshops for an international clientele including several of the nation's most respected PGA teaching professionals. In January 2006 he was the Lead Instructor teaching 28 PGA professionals at the two-day regional conference of custom clubmaker Henry-Griffitts. In March 2006, he was a main platform speaker for a full half day before more than 500 professionals of the Swedish PGA.
Of his recent accomplishments, he is most proud of LynnBlakeGolf.com, a website formed in January 2005 that he feels is destined to revolutionize the world of conventional golf instruction. With extensive archives and a growing Video Gallery, it now boasts more than 2,400 Registered Members who have contributed more than 22,000 posts to its Forums. Lynn is a prolific writer for the site, logging more than 3,000 posts since its founding.

Hey fellas-------any thoughts that your sticking this right in the middle of alot of college and High school graduation type datelines?
Excellent Idea, I'm sure it will fill up quickly just the same,
how about planning another one?
Yes, Sbark, we knew it was a tough date, but we really had no other choice. We wanted to fit this in between the end of school, the beginning of the junior tournament season, Easter and Mother's Day.
Maybe we'll be able to do better next time around, but like Saturday Night Live'sGilda Radner's great character Rosanna Rosanna Donna used to say...
We had a very successful school. Again Lynn performed his magic. A great group of 13 kids ages ranging from 13 to 21. We began the day at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday morning with a short Yoda lecture on the concepts we would be working on for the two days. The kids were actually on the edges of their seats. They were all like sponges eager to learn. And learn they did. By the end of the two days divots were flying and the ground was shaking. They were all swinging all the way down plane to Low Point. In the short game area they were holing out chips with basic motion and making putts from everywhere.
One thing I wanted to accomplish in this school was to help these kids make their high school teams and educate them on what it would take to play in college. I would like to thank Chris McCarter, golf coach for the University of New Orleans, who gave the kids a wonderful talk on what it takes to play at the college level. I know the kids really appreciated it.
I would also like to thank my associate Chris Wertz who really worked hard to allow these kids to learn and have a great time in this school.
Lynn, thank you for your relentless passion for the game and sharing that passion with everyone you meet. I know you made a lasting impression on these kids. I look forward to doing this again with you real soon.
