Level IV Member,
St Adele, Quebec, Ontario, Canada

“I have held the title of head teaching professional at the le Club de Golf Royal Laurentian in St-Faustin, Quebec, for the past four years.
            “I have been a full member of Canadian Golf Teachers Federation for the last seven years, and teaching golf full time during summer for the past 15 years. This represents more than 7,500 hours of lessons and more than 1,500 students of all levels, including competitive golfers and handicapped golfers. This year I will have a record season of more than 800 hours of golf lessons.

            “In the past 15 years, I worked with the Quebec Professional Golf Association (QPGA) doing marketing for the players, and also putting together training programs to improve their abilities. I also worked with various high school programs to develop young golfers. I also owned a driving range for many years and ran a golf school at that facility.

            “I have a university formation in biomechanics, sport physiology and sport psychology. I’ve been coaching nationally and internationally in various sports such as freestyle skiing, sailing, car racing and snowboarding. Some of the athletes I coached in those sports represented Canada in major world sports events and won a gold medal at Lillehammer winter Olympics.

            “Parallel to teaching golf, I am also a writer of golf chronicles for local newspapers, and I have done many television golf shows.”
