"Distinguished Presenter, on behalf of the PGA Center for Learning & Performance, and the PGA Instruction Committee, I would like formally to invite you to be a presenter at the 2011 PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit; to be held at The Faldo Institute on January 24th and 25th, 2011 (located in Orlando, Florida). Based upon our prior discussion, your talents and abilities were recognized by the Committee and your peers as being vital to share with PGA professionals for the advancement of our Association's instructors."
I got the call, but couldn't believe it.
There are 28,000 members of the PGA of America.
There will be 27 'presenters' at The Summit.
Whoa.
This biannual Summit immediately precedes the PGA Merchandise Show, the third largest trade event in the country. http://www.pga.com/merchandise/2010/index.cfm
Michael Breed of The Golf Channel will kick things off as Master of Ceremonies at 8 AM.
Sir Nick Faldo goes at 8:10.
I go at 9:20 (for 45 minutes, including Q&A).
Then again at 11 AM (in a 45-minute breakout session).
My chosen topic?
Alignments Are Forever!
I'll also participate Thursday, January 27, in the USA Today Golf Tips Hotline and Video Lessons sponsored by the PGA.
All this is a very big deal, and I'm proud to be part of it.
When I boarded that airplane to see Homer Kelley in Seattle in January 1982, then penned my first post in these threads just seven years ago . . .
Who'da thunk it?
P.S. Thanks Bagger, Bambam and Trig. Without you, no way this could have happened!
