Owen is currently the PGA Director of Instruction at the CC of Maryland in Towson Maryland. During his teaching career he has had the privilege of teaching a wide variety of students including beginners, juniors, past club champions, high school golf team members and fellow PGA Club Professionals to name a few. Since being introduced to golf instruction 17 years ago at PGA National Resort, Owen continues to refine his teaching methods. Over the past 17 years Owen has had the privilege of learning the different teaching styles of some of the top 100 golf instructors in the country, such as:
Some other influences that have helped Owen define his teaching methods Studying the swings of tour players has also played an important role in Owen's teaching methodology. With an extensive database of many of the top players both past and present, it's easier to see how tour players of all shapes and sizes can find a way to create a repeatable swing. By studying the swings of different tour players Owen can give each student a better diagnosis of what swing changes should be made using various drills. Modeling a student's swing against a tour player with similar physical characteristics allows for a better approach to building a more efficient swing. Everyone is different and each individual brings with them a different body type and ability level. Whether tall, short, flexible, inflexible, bad back, etc. - these different conditions require very different approaches to golf instruction. Owen tries to build swings based on one's range of motion and athletic ability and does not try to build text book swings as they do not exist. Owen will give you the tools you need to improve, but be prepared to step outside of your comfort zone when you practice. Regardless of your current playing ability, making any swing change can be a difficult thing to do. The quicker you start implementing your practice drills, the quicker your game will improve. |
