Bio
Shay is originally from Houston, Texas (USA) and began his
golf career at the age of 13. He has been teaching the game of golf for 16
years from beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. Shay has been a
class A USPGA member for 8 years and been involved with several leading Golf
Academies at different facilities in the United States and now China. Shay
is currently the Director of Golf at Palm Island and the Director of Instruction
of the Palm Island golf academy.
I came to XiLi to the Harold Swash Accredited instructor program with little expectations. I was just hoping to learn a little bit more to help my putting instruction.
What I was surprised to find was that I
left with a positive different way of teaching the putting stroke through video
analysis and a simple set of guidlines to teach from.
So if you need a sceptic I was one of
these types of people. But after attending the 2 day seminar and being
bombarded by Phil and Michel: I took away some of the best knowledge I have
been exposed to in the 16 years I have been teaching the game of
golf.
The sessions were great and
helped me develop new sets of tools to increase my business and help train
developing golf instructors an effective and useful technique. I
really did not feel this until taking in all the information and I was
surprised you can actually give a putting clinic for 3 hours, and still need
more time to teach!
So if you need a good recomendation
please call me for I am a big believer in the Harold Swash philosophies and
system and look forward into adding a new skill set to my instruction
portfolio.
Sincerely,
Shay Smart
Director of Golf & Instruction
Palm Island Resort
