The annual Plane Truth Instructor Summit is a very special event for our legion of Certified Instructors. This event brings together our Instructors from all over the globe for three days of continuing education.
One of the most important foundations of the Plane Truth is that we are continually evolving and always working to improve our teaching concepts. One of the hallmarks of Jim Hardy and Chris O’Connell is that they are tirelessly working to become better instructors. For them, it is a never ending pursuit. For our Certified Instructors, one of the most anticipated portions of the Summit is to learn about the latest findings and breakthroughs on how to enable students to improve faster and more efficiently. It’s the true embodiment of our philosophy – “Hit the Next Ball Better!”
The Summit also offers our instructors the opportunity to work on their own game and apply the concepts they teach to themselves. This not only makes them better players, it makes them better instructors. We believe that our instructors should be able to demonstrate the concepts they teach so Jim, Chris, and our other Level 3 instructors work with the group. At night the group gets together for dinner which gives everyone the opportunity to network and forge relationships. The Summits are amazing experiences of like-minded golf instructors with a passion to get better at their craft. It is an event where instructors both learn while having some fun and leave more equipped to help their students improve.
We also bring in speakers and presenters who are the leading experts in their field. These guests include PGA TOUR players, other successful golf instructors, sports psychologists, golf technology companies, and equipment companies. Listed below are some of our past presenters:

We are looking forward to getting the family back together!
The 2023 Plane Truth Certified Instructor Summit will be held at Sand Hill Farm in Waller, TX. This is a private 9 hole golf course owned by Mustang Cat. Designed by Jim Hardy and opened in 2009. The property is equipped with a driving range, multiple short game areas along with a large state of the art conference center for all indoor presentations. It is a truly special private setting which we used for filming of The Short Game.
Longtime Plane Truth Certified Instructor Stephen Puryear will be presenting in person with PGA Tour winner Lee Hodges. Stephen has taught Lee since he was a junior golfer. In Lee’s second year on the PGA Tour he collected his first win at the 3M Open in Minnesota. Lee finished 40th in the FedEx Cup and currently sits #52 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Bernie Najar, who sits on both the Golf Digest and Golf Magazine top teachers lists, will present on coaching competitive juniors having instructed the most recent U.S. Junior Amateur Champion in Bryan Kim. Bernie will also be sharing his thoughts on hitting it longer at any age which is the quickest way to lower your student’s scores.
All of those in attendance are sure to benefit from hearing these two fellow Plane Truth instructors present. We look forward to seeing you in November!
