Living Golf
SHOW #71
Butch Harmon
March’s edition will feature an exclusive interview with arguably the greatest golf coach on the planet; we’ll also be teeing it up with one of golf’s most colorful characters and be reporting on how the golf industry is continuing to entice its customers in such gloomy economic times.
BUTCH HARMON – THE WORLD’S GREATEST GOLF COACH?
The 65-year-old American comes from a family rich in golfing tradition and has coached the best players in the world – Greg Norman, Fred Couples, Adam Scott, Ernie Els… not to mention Tiger Woods.
Having followed in the footsteps of his father, Butch’s son Claude is doing likewise, and the two of them recently opened up a new academy in Dubai.
Living Golf joined the Harmon’s in the region to talk about his time coaching the best players in the world, and what makes the Harmon’s one of the great dynasties of American golf.
GOLF NEWS
In our regular monthly section, we look at how travel agencies are lowering their prices to entice the golfing traveler. We’ll also be reporting on Tiger Woods’ progress back from injury.
SCOTT’S HOT SHOTS
As this show features Adam’s golf coach Butch Harmon, we thought it entirely appropriate to incorporate the both of them for this month’s ‘Hot Shots’. Butch and Adam will be combining to show us how we should focus on our short game and why Harmon believes Scott to be one of his biggest talents.
BOO WEEKLEY
Professional golfers these days are professional in every sense of the word. Media trained, dedicated, knowledgeable in every facet of the game, and on the whole, lacking much personality. Well Boo Weekley bucks that trend. The devout Christian would much rather go fishing or spend time at home with his family in Florida than take to the golf course. But, golf ‘pays the bills’ and Weekley now has cult status in the United States, particularly after inspiring the Ryder Cup team to victory last September. We wanted to get to know Boo a little better and Justin Armsden got the chance recently in Qatar to do just that.
SELLING GOLF TO THE MASSES IN 2009
At the start of every year, the world’s biggest hitters in the manufacturing and retail sectors come together for the PGA Merchandise show – the largest global trade show of the year. Our resident expert Chris Meadows went over to Orlando to experience first-hand how these business leaders are coping in the current economic climate, and how they intend to entice consumers out to spend in 2009.
The report includes an exclusive interview with former World No.1 and now business entrepreneur, Greg Norman.
BUTCH HARMON – JUSTIN’S OWN PERSONAL LESSON
Having exclusive access to one of the world’s greatest coaches of all-time, Justin Armsden couldn’t pass up the opportunity of asking Butch for a personal lesson.
