The subject of the Photo Album is the
Secrets of The Golfing Machine Workshop conducted by
Chuck Evans and myself last August at one of the nation's most famous golf resorts, Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club. In addition to our 'civilian' students, several PGA Professionals were in attendance, including Head Professional
Scott Brazaski;
David Orr, Director of the Professional Golf Management Program at Campbell University (NC);
Bob Montello, Authorized Instructor of TGM at Woodlake Golf Club; and our own
Eddie Cox, Director of Golf at Tot Hill Farm Golf Club in Asheboro, North Carolina.
And, of course, our star pupil,
Peggy Kirk Bell herself, one of the most respected names in LPGA and USGA history. You know you are one-on-one with golfing history when the conversation goes like this:
Peggy Kirk Bell: "That's what Tommy showed me!"
Yoda: "Tommy Tomasello?"
Peggy: No, Tommy Armour!
and...
Peggy: "That's what Ben showed me!"
Yoda: "Ben Doyle?"
Peggy: "No, Ben Hogan!"
Mrs. Bell conducts the world-famous women-only Golfari Schools each year, and over the past five decades has taught thousands of people to play better golf. Nevertheless, she attended each day of the Workshop and participated in every activity. What a treat for all! But I've got to tell you, teaching Golf with Peggy Kirk Bell listening to each word and evaluating every motion is, well...just imagine teaching a painting class...

Thanks again, 6bmike, for your wonderful pictorial of a magical time.
