THE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Michael Hebron Decades ago Michael Hebron played a key role in orchestrating the first PGA Teaching and Coaching Summit, bringing together instructors from across the country to share ideas on teaching methods and philosophies. He became known as “the teacher’s teacher” and through his dedication earned the distinction of being inducted as the 24th PGA of America Master Professional. Whether teaching a junior clinic or working with a Tour Player, Michael demonstrates a love and passion for the game of golf while always helping to identify and promote the importance of the PGA Professional. Michael’s resume is filled with accolades and accomplishments. In addition to winning the PGA of America Horton Smith Award and the 1991 PGA Teacher of the Year Award, Michael has received over twenty five other distinguished awards including the Sam Snead Award for his contributions to the game, the PGA and his Metropolitan section. His legacy of service as a teacher, educator, author, promoter, golf professional and course operator puts him among the PGA of America’s elite. Michael’s book, See and Feel the Inside Move the Outside, was the first golf instruction book accepted as a PGA Master’s thesis. Since then, he has written hundreds of articles for leading golf magazines, authored a number of books and DVDs and featured on both free-to-air and cable television shows. In recent times, Michael has taken many hours of classes at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and has subsequently been researching the brain’s connection to learning. His Neuro Learning for Golf principles advocate that in order to enhance performance potential, you must first improve an individual’s learning potential. The environment that this approach creates is a ‘learning-developing’ environment, as opposed to the traditional ‘teaching & fixing to get-it-right’ approach. 2012 ASIA A Message from the 2010 Teacher of the Year The Srixon PGA Coaching Summit is an integral part of the PGA’s continuing education structure and continues to be the largest event for golf professionals in the Asia Pacific region. The 2012 Summit will provide a variety of topics with a great mix of presenters from both here and abroad. From a keynote perspective we welcome PGA of America Master Professional and Top-30 Instructor, Michael Hebron; prominent Australian PGA Member and Head of the Titleist Performance Institute Junior Advisory Board, Denis McDade; UK Coaching Hall of Fame Inductee and MBE recipient, Dr. Dave Alred; Australian Men’s Hockey Coach and High Performance Consultant, Dr. Ric Charlesworth; PGA Master Professional and Director of Education at the PGAs of Europe, Tony Bennett; and PGA of America Professional and Vice- President of Sales and Business Development at TrackMan, Matt Frelich. A range of local supporting presenters will also inspire you to think beyond your traditional sources of influence and reinvigorate your approach to teaching and coaching. I encourage you to join your peers and colleagues from around the country, and to share your thoughts and experiences in order to generate tangible outcomes that can be applied within your own business. The RACV Royal Pines Resort will again be providing fantastic hospitality and on behalf of the PGA, we look forward to seeing you in September. Steve Bann PGA Member and 2010 PGA Teacher of the Year

As well as his work with teams, Alred concentrates a great deal of time on individual performances believing that it is often one’s mindset that is fundamental to success. By trying to ensure players always perform at, or very near their potential, Alred is continually searching for ways to get a player to go where they’ve never been before in terms of both their performance and mindset. He has helped both athletes and coaches develop an understanding of a “No Limits” mindset and looks at how performance behaviour changes when in pressure situations. In addition to being renowned for his work with star pupil Jonny Wilkinson, Alred has been heralded for his work with Luke Donald, seeing him rise from number 32 to number 1 in the world. Having taught himself to play golf, Alred now plays off four and enjoys working with individuals to better their game.
