This is the first time that we held a Level 1 Accredited Instructors Course in Australia. But this was not our last time Down under... we have set the dates for the second visit in December 2007.
The team will be back to conduct further training in Dec 2007. The planned dates are to coincide with the Australian Open in Sydney at a venue to be confirmed. Places are limited to the demand that has been created through their recent visit on the Gold Coast. The Training Programme which is designed to educate teaching professionals in the Harold Swash Putting philosophy and coaching techniques is a 3 tier programme that is delivered through a range of theory and practically based seminars. The Level One of this scheme was held Royal Pines Resort in Queensland. Two of the attendees were where Mark Gibson and Glenn Joyner.
Glenn Joyner was a touring pro worldwide for over 20 years before taking up a coaching role where he has been sought after for the short game instruction through the reputation he build up in this area as player. Glenn stated that he found the course a revelation and total value for any coaching professional that was eager to understanding the true fundamentals of putting and develop himself as a coach.

The Harold Swash Putting School has committed to come back to Australia to conduct more Accredited Instructor Training after the success of their recent visit to the Australian PGA show and the feedback from their first training programme conducted in Southern Hemisphere.
Mark Gibson is a 2 time winner of the Australian PGA coach of the year and a well respected figure in Australian Golf. Mark stated that the 2 days represented ‘One of the most significant moments in his teaching career’.
