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 at Cuscawilla Golf Club in Greensboro, Georgia. In March, he was a main platform speaker for a full half day before more than 500 professionals of the Swedish PGA in Halmstadt, Sweden. In June he conducted the Barclays Classic Golf Academy during the four days of the PGA TOUR's Barclays Classic in Harrison, New York. Most recently, in August he conducted a Private Workshop for eight British PGA professionals in Hude, Germany.
Of his 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 3,300 Registered Members who have contributed more than 30,000 posts to its Forums. Lynn is a prolific writer for the site, logging more than 4,300 posts since its founding.
