Christmas time for most people is a time for celebrations or relaxation. For the Spanish National Golf Federation however, it was a time to put their top amateur golfers through an intensive training camp with HSPSE in preparation for the forthcoming season at the Escorpion golf club in Betera , Valencia Spain 27 th -29 th December 2007.
Invited by the Real Federación Españaola de Golf, the team of Harold Swash , Director of Instruction Phillip Kenyon and Accredited Instructor Michel Monnard worked with 32 of the country's leading amateur golfers on their putting technique.
On the eve of the camp HSPSE delivered a presentation to the Federation on the ‘HSPSE Putting Philosophy and Fundamentals'.
The first day then involved extensive data capture where each of the 32 players was assessed on their putting technique, accuracy and the quality of ball roll. To collect the data both dual camera video analysis and SAM Puttlab capture was used. The 2 nd day saw the players working extensively on their set up and stroke mechanics and addressing the importance of custom fitting in order to achieve specific results.
The final day saw the team working further on technique as well as green reading concepts and pre shot and practice routines.
The training camp was a huge success with Spanish Federation and its Team of National Coaches expressing their gratitude to the focused and thorough approach HSPSE brought. The players now embark on a long season with the first national event in only a few weeks time. We wish them best of luck for the 2008 season.
