PGA Personal Pro comes to you!

30 year PGA member Douglas Acton brings his blend of enthusiasm and experience to your event.

Based in Carmel-by-the-Sea, I have created two separate studios in my indoor golf facility – one for putting and one for the full swing – with each one being portable. I am excited to be able to bring this amazing technology, along with my rare blend of insight and fun, to your club, tournament, office or home. What’s available:

Putting Performance Program

I am an exclusive certified trainer for Break 30 a revolutionary combined curriculum to help you break 30 putts per round.

I will bring along the PGA Tour-preferred S.A.M. (Science & Motion) ultrasound system and the Zen Oracle custom putter – fitting and training equipment. Each player or guest will roll 5 putts. Among the things the SAM will show in their personal putting stroke: where they aim at address (face angle), what the face angle is at impact and their path direction, where the ball impacts the face, how much face rotation they have (opening and/or closing), whether they add loft or de-loft the face, and most importantly the tempo, timing and length of their putting stroke.

Depending on the length of time allowed with each person I can explain why they have both the good and bad tendencies, provide a few tips and training, even custom-fit them with a putter best suited to their putting stroke. If provided with a list I can email the combined data for each guest.

This is the most impactful system I’ve seen in 25 years, allowing me to legitimately teach and improve everyone’s putting performance. It can easily be set up indoors in a room of almost any size, as well as on any putting green.

Looking at the Full Swing

I have two systems that I can bring for this portion of the game, analyzing the golf swing and/or ball flight. The digital video system JC Video captures and shows the swing on a 21'' hi-brite monitor visible indoors or out. The software will show frame by frame of the swing, shaft and clubface. Other features include split-screen comparisons and drawing tools to highlight specifics. If provided with a list I can email a video file with voiceover to each guest.

I can also bring a launch monitor to show things such as club head speed, distance, launch angle, face angle and swing path.

Though best utilized outdoors, this system is also effective indoors. Adding the launch monitor requires netting, which I can provide if necessary.

As with the putting system, the key ingredient is my verbal and visual skills as a gifted teacher to interpret the data and make improvements.

 

Customized programs are always available. Call today to save the date for your event. I will be happy to customize a package to suit your needs.

Looking forward to improving both your event and your game.
