New Teaching Job!
 

After really struggling for the past 3 years, I have just accepted a new position as Teaching Professional at the Greenhaven golf course in Anoka Minnesota. I am so excited!

The past 3 years, I have been mostly working in the shop. I was at a very nice club, but we had 4 guys teaching, and the other 3 had been there for years. Now I am at a public facility where I can advertise my teaching. Just myself and the Head Pro teach, and the Head Pro doesn't want to give any lessons if he can help it. :)

The best news is that I have a room in the clubhouse with a hitting net, computer with V1, and a great video system. I can't wait to see it. I'll now be able to teach 12 months a year!!!

I just want to let all my friends at LBG know that I would not have had the confidence, or the experience to consider this job 3 years ago. What I have learned, and am still learning from all of you here has made a profound difference in my professional life. Thanks to all of you, and especially our friend YODA for all your help and encouragement!!!

Your Friend in G.O.L.F.
Kevin

Congratulations, Kevin. Always great to see somebody's hard work pay off.

Thank you everybody for your kind words!

Burley, sorry to hear about your knee buddy. I hope you won't be down for long!

Kevin

Joe,

Absolutely no problem. It would be fun to see Bobby again!

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin will do fantastic at Greenhaven. I just remembered that my all time best nine holes was a 34 at Greenhaven on the back nine. Unfortunately I needed it to break 80 that day. Can't wait to work with Kevin on the very nice practice range they have there. Congrats buddy, Dodger.

Thanks very much my friend. We definitely WILL NOT have a wager if we sneak out on the back nine. You just cost yourself a few shekels. :)

Kevin

Gratulerer
 

Congratulations Kevcarter,

I wish you and your students all the success.

I used to teach bachelor students at a business school. Teaching is very hard and very rewarding when you see the motivation and get the results.

Way to go, Kevin. I'm proud of you!

Call or write me if I can help in any way.

:salut:

Awesome, Kevin, now we have a reason to visit MN during the Summer!
 

I have relatives, lots in Chicago. Some play golf. I will contact you in advance if I can convince them to travel to your location.

Congratulations...Best wishes for your new teaching G.O.L.F. experience.

Thank you Sir, you already have helped me more than you will ever know! :salut: :salut: :salut:

Kevin

Thank you Bernt, teach, and KOC. Very much appreciate all the good wishes and support!!!

Given the spirit of this post Id also like to make an announcement if I may.

Mike O and Bucket will be competeing for the first Olympic gold medal awarded to a golfer in modern times. Yes, proud members of team Ubekistan.................. well one of the "stans" anyways , negotiations are still under way. Why didnt I think of that angle?

Can you imagine them up against Tiger and Phil for a chance to meet Kim Jong Il in the finals? (Kim Jong plays as a single in team best ball , its hard to improve on a one).

It's patently unfair. Even if Kim gave Woods and Michelson a stroke a hole Kim would still win. :confused1

Given the right "Stan" and the excellent Borat as their team, non-playing, Captain those two guys could conquer the world - Goats excepted. :laughing9

This is one thread I wouldn't want to Jack!

Kevin,
Congratulations on the new move! :) Knock'm dead!

Good on ya Mike. My apologies to Kevin.

Good luck though with the MIracle on Grass. Go team Somthingorothertan!

Sorry.

No apologies needed, we're all on the same team!

Thanks again guys... :salut:

Kevin

Good News
 

I wish you all of the best in your new digs, Kevin. It is comforting to know that good things happen to nice guys. :salut:

Thanks OKIE! :salut:

I'm fired up, I start today! :golfcart2:

Hi Kevin. Once upon a time I ran a "top 1%" financial planning firm for American Express for 3 years and was later hired by Prudential to manage and plan top financial practices.

If I were starting a new professional firm or service, I would join the following groups as TIME and INTEGRITY allowed. In other words, as you so wonderfully demonstrate, you have to be a friend to have friends.

The groups I would include are all honorable with valuable missions including Rotary, Kiwanis, BBB, Chambers of Commerce, religions you practice and believe in, masonic lodges and school demonstrations/coaching. Ladies golf too, as you know, and If I were in MN, I would go to the bulb and flower festivals, cooking clubs, and travel, investment, swim and chess clubs. Of course, the Boy's clubs/Girl's clubs, Police Athletic Leagues, Scouts, and local offices of the IRS/FBI/ teacher's unions and city governments all have golfers and leagues. First Tee is a great program and a census of retired teachers or retired people in the area will help you meet clients. Nursing homes have golfers, too.

You have my email if you run out of marketing ideas...which reminds me to remind you to consider convention center activities like trade shows...lots to do!

Discounts for referral clients! Military are great people IMHO.

Good Luck!

Patrick

Lots of GREAT ideas right there Patrick. Thank you very much for sharing your time and expertise. I'll pay close attention! :salut:
