Indoor Hitting Bays in the Medicus Golf Learning Center at Jones Creek GC, Augusta Georgia.

Augusta, GA (PRWEB) December 3, 2009

Medicus Golf announced today the opening of the Medicus Golf Learning Center at Jones Creek Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. With the opening of this new center, Medicus Golf begins the first stage of its planned strategic expansion into markets throughout the continental United States and overseas.

At the new 2,700 square foot Jones Creek facility, expert instructors from the Medicus Golf Institute work with the latest in golf performance technology and club fitting to create an unparalleled learning experience for golfers of all skill levels.

"Jones Creek Golf Club is the perfect venue for this new Medicus facility," said Chuck Evans, executive director of the Medicus Golf Institute and a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher. "Students have access to top Medicus Golf Institute instructors, state-of-the-art golf technology, and an exceptional golf course in Jones Creek."

Instructional programs planned for the Medicus Golf Learning Center at Jones Creek include Medicus’ flagship junior development program, as well as private lessons and golf schools for adults and families. Curriculum for the programs is provided by Medicus Certified Swingology Instructors under the direction of Evans. As quality instruction must be complemented by quality equipment, the facility will offer students custom fit clubs from Callaway, Mizuno, Ping, TaylorMade and Titleist.

Medicus Golf Institute instructors based at Jones Creek take advantage of the latest in instructional technology, including the V1 Digital Coaching System and the FlightScope launch monitor system. Together, these systems provide students an unmatched visual learning experience that accelerates game improvement.

Golf instruction at the facility is based on Swingology Simplifying the Concepts of Homer Kelley’s The Golfing Machine. Swingology is the science of the golf swing, and proves that all successful golf swings maintain a simple set of important "constants" identical ingredients called key alignments. The swings of most PGA TOUR professionals look slightly different, but the key alignments are the same.

While most golf instruction today emphasizes "position golf," Swingology emphasizes alignment golf. Alignment golf is superior because you can be in all of the supposedly correct positions, yet still completely miss the golf ball; if you have proper alignments, you can miss the supposed correct positions and still play good golf.

Medicus Golf, best known for its innovative line of training aids, has been expanding its reach into golf instruction through the Medicus Golf Institute. Golf instruction offerings include private instruction, golf schools and player development programs. For more information, visit http://medicuscorporation.com/golf_schools/location_augusta.aspx

(PRWEB) November 29, 2005

The number of golfers in the United States has increased from 3.5 million in 1950 to over 30 million today, making golf the fastest growing sport in the United States. However, while 3 million new players take up the game every year, nearly 3 million of those already golfing quit in frustration. Ten years of research and development has led to the introduction of the Swing Gizmo, a product designed to teach golfers the concept of the swing plane and help them improve their game, rather than give up on it.

Golfers all face the same challenge in lowering their golf score: the need to visualize and apply their golf club to the ideal swing path. This is a phenomenon that cannot be described in words; it must be seen and felt. The truth is that golf is a difficult game. And the difficulty in keeping golfers from giving up on the game is compounded by inadequate teaching products and methods. Players can’t find themselves connecting to the game.

The basic premise of golf is that one can never be “good enough.” One can always swing better and score lower, and in golf every swing counts. There are no quick fix-its or gimmicks when one can¹t understand how the game should work. Players need to understand the basic physics behind golf and understand how their golf swing works. It is only then that players will stay interested in golf and improve their game.

A basic concept in understanding golf is the swing plane. Other golf aids have been introduced with the premise of teaching the swing plane, but the Swing Gizmo is different. The Gizmo has been described as “the most versatile and complete training aid” by renowned Golf Digest “Top 100 Instructor” Chuck Hogan. It does not discriminate based on experience level or height, but adjusts to the individual¹s unique swing. Nor is it a device designed solely for beginners; a periodic reaffirmation of one¹s feel of the swing plane is beneficial to even the most advanced golfer. This golf aid is built on the premise that every golf club is designed to strike the ball in the same optimal way. Through precise geometry and engineering, the Swing Gizmo keeps the golf club on this optimal swing plane.

Arlen Frew is the mastermind behind the Swing Gizmo. As a professional player and coach, he has been fortunate to work with some of golf¹s recognized gurus, including Chuck Hogan, Fred Shoemaker, and Ben Doyle. Through these relationships he was able to learn and experience firsthand the techniques and concepts which enable these instructors to produce remarkable results across the entire spectrum of golfers.

The Swing Gizmo is an ideal holiday gift for the aspiring pro or budding golfer on your list. For more information, or to order direct, please call 866-392-3192.
