The November issue of GOLF Magazine recently hit the newsstand with a picture of Sergio Garcia on the front cover. Also on the front cover was the headline, “Fix Your Game in a Weekend, Top 25 Golf Schools in America.” Inside the issue is a fold out with a listing of the Top 25 Golf Schools in America as ranked by GOLF Magazine and the Classic Swing Golf School is once again on the list. Wow! Yeah! Surprise, Surprise! An even better surprise was seeing that the Classic Swing Golf School is the most affordable of all of the Top 25 Golf Schools. Also this month, we completed our first Peak Performance School and finished our indoor learning studio with net, cameras and mirrors.

The Top 25 ranking is an honor and a blessing. We could not and would not have received this accolade without you, the student, feeling good about your experience at our fine facility and enjoying a curriculum that is helping your game. Please take this as a personal thank you, and I will continue to improve our learning environment and quality of instruction to make your experience the best and most affordable school available.

Reflecting back on the August newsletter about my Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) experience and study of Golf Performance Fitness Training, our first Peak Performance School was conducted the weekend of October 11 and 12. Although we had a rainy weekend, the diagnostic testing, self assessment, short game skills challenge, and a thorough workout regime were conducted. We were also able to do intense full swing video training thanks to the completion of our new indoor swing lab. No more rainouts!

Stretching is a part of the curriculum in our three day school, alumni Scoring School, and the Peak Performance School. In the last month, we have had a 90 year old graduate of the three day school and the Peak Performance School included Ralph, age 62, and Ernie, age 74. This illustrates to me the love for golf is a passion, and it is not age discriminatory. Also the golf stretches we are sharing seem to have an immediate impact because some of our students are leaving here much more flexible than when they entered our door. The following are the top three stretches we conduct:

Criss-Cross Stretch.
Start at the address position with a good golf posture and then rotate your upper body as if making your backswing, into the downswing, and on to thefollow through and finish.

Waist-Bend Extension.
Use a golf club to balance yourself, lock your knees, and bend at the waist while keeping your back flat.

Swinging the Power Fan can help increase clubhead speed and flexibility.

Also, if you would like to order a Power Fan to incorporate into your off season golf workouts, please give us a call toll free at 1-800-827-2656. Through the end of November you can get a Power Fan for $44.95 (regular price - $49.95) plus shipping and handling.

Also, it is not too late to sign up for the November 7-8 or December 12-13 Peak Performance School. Both sessions are still available and information on the Peak Performance School can be found in the August 2008 newsletter (http://www.classicswing.com/newsletter/august-08.htm)
