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 />
