Swash Specialist Putting Professionals train the Spanish Golf National Team

For the second year running, the Swash Staff Instructors, led by Director of Instruction Phil Kenyon, were invited by the Spanish Golf Federation to train over 35 amateurs of their elite squad at the Escorpion Golf Club in Valencia between the 26th and the 30th of December 2008. The squad consisted of handicaps between 2 and +3,7 and ages from 15 to 23 years, some of them having an eye on a Scholarships in the USA to improve their competition skills, others turning professional and competing on the European Tours.

On the first evening, Phil Kenyon and Michel Monnard gave a presentation on their putting philosophy Instruction. A philosophy which has helped many PGA Tour Professionals like Henrik Stenson, David Howell, Oliver Wilson, Oliver Fisher and Maarteen Lafeber, amongst many others, in the past year.

On the first working day, Phil Kenyon and Michel Monnard were joined by Juan Garcia Estrada, another Swash Instructor, based at HSPSE Madrid. Together the team took the players through a complete Analysis process consisting on Sam Puttlab, Dual Video Capture, Ball Roll capture and an Analysis Questionnaire to gain an insight into their work during the last year.

In the evening Phil Kenyon, Michel Monnard and Juan Garcia Estrada worked through the collected data and set about creating an improvement plan for each player, including practice drills and strategies for each individual.

On Day 2 each player was shown their data and had the chance to work with the 3 instructors on their own technique.

The third day was dedicated to green-reading and pace control. To start with every group worked through a series of explanations and exercises on green-reading to help the players establish a routine to effectively and efficiently assess a greens contours and line of a putt. The second part of the session was dedicated to drills on pace control.

After the 3 day long days the Swash team and all the players packed up and went their separate ways back across Europe bringing a close to a successful 2008.
