THE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS<br />
Michael Hebron<br />
Decades ago Michael Hebron played a key role in orchestrating<br />
the first PGA Teaching and Coaching Summit, bringing together<br />
instructors from across the country to share ideas on teaching methods<br />
and philosophies. He became known as “the teacher’s teacher” and<br />
through his dedication earned the distinction of being inducted as the<br />
24th PGA of America Master Professional.<br />
Whether teaching a junior clinic or working with a Tour Player,<br />
Michael demonstrates a love and passion for the game of golf while always helping to identify<br />
and promote the importance of the PGA Professional.<br />
Michael’s resume is filled with accolades and accomplishments. In addition to winning the<br />
PGA of America Horton Smith Award and the 1991 PGA Teacher of the Year Award, Michael<br />
has received over twenty five other distinguished awards including the Sam Snead Award for<br />
his contributions to the game, the PGA and his Metropolitan section. His legacy of service as<br />
a teacher, educator, author, promoter, golf professional and course operator puts him among<br />
the PGA of America’s elite.<br />
Michael’s book, See and Feel the Inside Move the Outside, was the first golf instruction book<br />
accepted as a PGA Master’s thesis. Since then, he has written hundreds of articles for leading<br />
golf magazines, authored a number of books and DVDs and featured on both free-to-air and<br />
cable television shows.<br />
In recent times, Michael has taken many hours of classes at Harvard’s Graduate School of<br />
Education and has subsequently been researching the brain’s connection to learning. His<br />
Neuro Learning for <strong>Golf</strong> principles advocate that in order to enhance performance potential,<br />
you must first improve an individual’s learning potential. The environment that this approach<br />
creates is a ‘learning-developing’ environment, as opposed to the traditional ‘teaching & fixing<br />
to get-it-right’ approach.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> ASIA<br />
A Message from the 2010 Teacher of the Year<br />
The Srixon PGA Coaching Summit is an integral part of the PGA’s continuing education structure<br />
and continues to be the largest event for golf professionals in the Asia Pacific region. The <strong>2012</strong><br />
Summit will provide a variety of topics with a great mix of presenters from both here and abroad.<br />
From a keynote perspective we welcome PGA of America Master Professional and Top-30<br />
Instructor, Michael Hebron; prominent Australian PGA Member and Head of the Titleist<br />
Performance Institute Junior Advisory Board, Denis McDade; UK Coaching Hall of Fame<br />
Inductee and MBE recipient, Dr. Dave Alred; Australian Men’s Hockey Coach and High<br />
Performance Consultant, Dr. Ric Charlesworth; PGA Master Professional and Director of<br />
Education at the PGAs of Europe, Tony Bennett; and PGA of America Professional and Vice-<br />
President of Sales and Business Development at TrackMan, Matt Frelich.<br />
A range of local supporting presenters will also inspire you to think beyond your traditional<br />
sources of influence and reinvigorate your approach to teaching and <strong>coaching</strong>. I encourage<br />
you to join your peers and colleagues from around the country,<br />
and to share your thoughts and experiences in order to generate<br />
tangible outcomes that can be applied within your own business.<br />
The RACV Royal Pines Resort will again be providing fantastic<br />
hospitality and on behalf of the PGA, we look forward to seeing<br />
you in September.<br />
Steve Bann<br />
PGA Member and 2010 PGA Teacher of the Year
Dr. Dave Alred MBE<br />
Dr. Dave Alred is a specialist coach in performing under pressure.<br />
Having completed his PhD at Loughborough University, Alred has<br />
worked with a variety of sports at the elite level. He has worked with the<br />
Middlesborough, Sunderland, and Aston Villa Football Clubs as well as<br />
the English Cricket and Polo Teams. In Australia he has worked across<br />
numerous football codes with St George, Newcastle, Parramatta, Manly,<br />
the Wallabies and West Coast Eagles all featuring on his client list.<br />
Dave Alred was inaugurated into the UK Coaching Hall of Fame for his contribution to the<br />
success of England’s Rugby World Cup win, and was awarded the Mussabini Medal for<br />
outstanding success on the world stage. In 2004 he was honored with an MBE and is widely<br />
regarded as the world’s best kicking coach with over 130 tests and 4 world cups under his belt<br />
as an English and British Lions Assistant Coach.<br />
As well as his work with teams, Alred concentrates a great deal of time on individual<br />
performances believing that it is often one’s mindset that is fundamental to success.<br />
By trying to ensure players always perform at, or very near their potential, Alred is continually<br />
searching for ways to get a player to go where they’ve never been before in terms of both their<br />
performance and mindset. He has helped both athletes and coaches develop an understanding of a<br />
“No Limits” mindset and looks at how performance behaviour changes when in pressure situations.<br />
In addition to being renowned for his work with star pupil Jonny Wilkinson, Alred has been<br />
heralded for his work with Luke Donald, seeing him rise from number 32 to number 1 in<br />
the world. Having taught himself to play golf, Alred now plays off four and enjoys working<br />
with individuals to better their game. He has recently started working with three-time major<br />
winner, Ireland’s Padraig Harrington.<br />
Denis McDade<br />
Denis McDade has been a member of the PGA of Australia for over 20<br />
years. He coached at the Victorian Institute of Sport <strong>Golf</strong> Program for 11<br />
years and spent 2 years as Scholarship Coach at the AIS <strong>Golf</strong> Program.<br />
Denis coaches a number of Touring Professionals including Marcus<br />
Fraser, Marc Leishman, Paul Sheehan, Ash Hall, Matthew Griffin,<br />
Gareth Paddison and Clint Rice. He also coaches 2011 British Amateur<br />
Champion Bryden Macpherson, the first Australian to win the<br />
Championship since Doug Bachli in 1954.<br />
As Head of the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Junior Advisory Board, Denis has dedicated<br />
himself for several years to researching and improving the way in which junior golf programs are<br />
structured and delivered and will share elements of this as part of the Summit Program this year.<br />
Denis spends many weeks each year travelling around the world working with his players<br />
and presenting at certification seminars on behalf of TPI. He has previously been nominated<br />
as a PGA Teacher of the Year and continues to be considered as one of Australia’s foremost<br />
teachers and coaches.<br />
Dr. Richard (Ric) Charlesworth<br />
Whether leading the world in hockey, captaining Western Australia in<br />
cricket, cramming in a medical degree or winning a seat in Federal<br />
Parliament, Dr. Ric Charlesworth has always excelled. His natural gifts<br />
and a fierce appetite for victory have guaranteed his success.<br />
A former captain of the Western Australian and Australian Hockey<br />
Teams, Ric Charlesworth played 227 games for his country including<br />
5 Olympic and 4 World Cup tournaments. He was a gold medallist and<br />
player of the World Cup Tournament in 1986 and silver medallist at the 1976 Olympics.<br />
He was also in Federal Parliament for 10 years before retiring to take up the position of National<br />
Coach of the Australian Women’s Hockey Team from 1993 to 2000. During his time at the helm,<br />
the team was consistently ranked as the number one team in the world, and won 4 Champions<br />
Trophies, 2 World Cup’s, 2 Olympic Gold medals & 1 Commonwealth Games Gold medal.<br />
Charlesworth won the Australian Team Coach of the Year six times (first in 1994 and then each<br />
year from 1996 to 2000) and was awarded the status of Master Coach by the International Hockey<br />
PACIFIC SRIXON PGA
Federation, subsequently confirming his position as one of the world’s leading coaches.<br />
In addition to his commitment to hockey, Charlesworth also worked as a high performance<br />
consultant to the Fremantle Dockers and as a mentor coach to 5 Australian Institute<br />
of Sport coaches. He moved to New Zealand in October 2005 to assume a role as High<br />
Performance Manager for New Zealand Cricket and in late 2007 he was drawn back into<br />
hockey as Indian Hockey’s Technical Advisor.<br />
In 2008, Ric was appointed coach of the Australian’s National Men’s Hockey team and in the<br />
same year was inducted into Hockey Australia’s inaugural Hall of Fame. In 2009 he coached<br />
the Kookaburra’s to gold at the Champion’s Trophy in Melbourne and this was followed by<br />
gold at the 2010 World Cup in New Delhi and gold at the Commonwealth Games. He is the<br />
first person to have played in and coached a gold medal winning World Cup team in hockey.<br />
Ric is also the author of three books, “The Coach – Managing for Success”, “Staying at the<br />
Top” and “Shakespeare the Coach.” Through these publications he has been able to provide<br />
an insight into how to be the best, but more importantly how to stay there.<br />
