Watch these two short videos to give you an up close and
personal look at our golf training centers:
The concept started in 1998 when the partners
in Puckmasters, a year-round hockey training
franchise, noticed that many of existing Club Members
were into both hockey and golf. This led them to explore
the incredible opportunity of taking the hockey training
systems and adapting them to indoor golf training. In researching
and developing the prototype, they discovered Scott Hazledine, a Class A PGA pro.
Scott Hazledine is a Master Teacher, a
Master Player, and applies scientific principles and
disciplines to golf. He specializes in Performance Observation
– the act of recognizing facts and occurrences in the
model golf swing – and was instrumental in helping Jack
Kuykendall with the start-up of Natural Golf.
Scott left Natural Golf in 1995 to form
his own company, IMA Systems. The basis of the
IMA system is Jack Kuykendall's discovery of “straight-line
motion” utilizing a single-axis right arm primary power
source as validated by golf legend, Moe Norman.
Physics states that there is an Ideal
Mechanical Advantage for every biomechanical action
-- the golf swing is no exception. It is significant
that Scott teaches the technical advantage proven by
the straight-line motion that Moe Norman used in his
heyday -- when he built his worldwide reputation as
one of the most accurate golfers ever.
The Parmasters indoor golf training system,
which is a sports technology based on Scott’s techniques,
demonstrates a sound, individualized, results-oriented
technique that, even before fully mastered, will produce
great golf. Women students are especially quick to learn
the Straight-Line Golf™ swing. His students improve
their handicaps an average of 40 percent! One 70-year-old
student with an 18 handicap in 6 weeks shot a score
of 72 during "men’s’ day", and then shot his age two
weeks later. Scott sums it up with one simple statement:
"Anybody can do this swing!"
This led the partners to create the first
indoor golf franchise system that guarantees lower scores every
single time, and in every single facility. In fact,
anyone taking our Core Training Program is guaranteed
to reduce their handicap by 25 percent within six months.
(Note: We could extend Scott’s guarantee of a 40 percent
reduction but we prefer to “under promise – over deliver”.)
