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:
