GT Golf Learning Center<br />

helps golfers cut strokes<br />

As of Nov. 1, 2016, GT Golf Learning<br />

center moved to T-Time Range in Homer<br />

Glen after 31 years at a local course and<br />

has opened up an indoor golf learning facility<br />

to complement the all-grass teaching<br />

area, which is used for outdoor lessons.<br />

Gregg Tengerstrom, a PGA professional,<br />

has more than 38 years teaching<br />

experience and many hours spent attending<br />

PGA seminars on teaching, coaching,<br />

playing and club fitting and repair. Tengerstrom<br />

is the owner and lead instructor for<br />

GT Golf Learning Center.<br />

The heated, climate-controlled indoor<br />

learning center has three hitting bays featuring<br />

P3ProSwing computer swing analyzers<br />

for teaching. They show students<br />

their swing path, club face angle at impact,<br />

club head speed and more. The immediate<br />

feedback makes learning faster<br />

and easier.<br />

The P3ProSwing analyzers are used<br />

along with SportsCad computer video<br />

analysis and other tablet based swing<br />

analysis programs. Students can see their<br />

swings side by side with the best players<br />

in the world. GT Golf Learning Center<br />

offers private, semi-private and group<br />

instruction. Golfers of all skill levels, beginners,<br />

as well as highly skilled players<br />

of all ages are welcome. There are classes<br />

for peewees (5-8 years old), juniors (9-13<br />

years old) and adults (14 and older).<br />

The indoor group lessons start the week<br />

of Jan. 9 and run the same day and time<br />

for five weeks. The second session starts<br />

the week of March 6, 2018. Private and<br />

semi-private lessons can be booked by<br />

contacting Tengerstrom directly.<br />

The indoor group golf lessons are perfect<br />

for golfers of all levels — beginners<br />

to highly skilled. The lessons start with the<br />

basics and a proper pre-shot routine, including<br />

grip, alignment and ball position.<br />

The lessons cover the full swing irons and<br />

woods, as well as the short game, putting<br />

and chipping.<br />

for longtime success and a<br />

love of learning. Elizabeth<br />

Boba, assistant principal<br />

and junior high teacher,<br />

utilizes the advanced technology<br />

skills of her students<br />

daily. She remarked,<br />

“The 1:1 laptop program<br />

that St. Joseph offers for<br />

our students provides<br />

countless enriching educational<br />

experiences both<br />

inside the classroom, as<br />

well as at home. It is truly<br />

a blessing to teach in such<br />

an innovative environment.”<br />

As the first school<br />

in the area to offer a 1:1<br />

program to all students in<br />

grades 1-8, St. Joseph once<br />

again demonstrates its forward<br />

thinking and technology<br />

advanced curriculum.<br />

Scheffler shared, “While<br />

I am so proud of our techie<br />

team, it is the well-rounded<br />

and personalized education<br />

that each child receives<br />

that makes the difference.<br />

There is no better measure<br />

of our success than to see<br />

our current and alumni<br />

students thrive in their educational<br />

journey. We make<br />

it a top priority to provide<br />

a rich learning experience,<br />

and from that learning experience,<br />

we are developing<br />

leaders of the future. I<br />

couldn’t be prouder of the<br />

dedicated staff, supportive<br />

parents and fantastic students<br />

we have. Each year,<br />

we are impressed with our<br />

students. Knowing they are<br />

academically prepared for<br />

their future and young people<br />

full of faith, our mission<br />

is alive and at work.”<br />

Admission and scholarship<br />

opportunities will be<br />

available in January of 2018.<br />

New scholarships for transfer<br />

students will begin at<br />

$1,000 and range to $4,000<br />

per family — the time to join<br />

St. Joseph is now!<br />
