Our Carolinas PGA Alignment Golf Workshop was a real success. We took bunches of photos, but I don't have'em yet. They'll be up soon.

The big news is that this workshop (and completion of its 63-page Workbook) served as Level One (Associate) training in the new Lynn Blake Instructor Certification Program and its four levels:

Lynn Blake Certified Associate

Lynn Blake Certified Instructor

Lynn Blake Certified Senior Instructor

Lynn Blake Certified Master Instructor.

In addition to the professional designations, there is also a progressive Certified Amateur status for those who would pursue a rigorous course of study and training in advanced Golf Stroke Mechanics.

We had a great time over the two days in Greensboro, NC. The Carolinas PGA Section is the largest in the United States (in fact, the world). At the close, 21 professionals and three visiting amateurs earned status and joined us as Certified Associates.

Uh, I made a mistake in my yesterday's post, guys. As I was bustling out of the room, I asked for an approximate number of those in our 'maiden voyage' class who had earned and opted for our new designation, Lynn Blake Certified Associate. Apparently, one stack of evaluation forms was still on a distant table, and I was told the number was 21. In actuality, the number was . . .

34.

Considering that we only had 36 in the class . . .

That's a good thing!
