Lynn Blake,GSED, aka Yoda
In the summer of 1980, Lynn was an avid amateur golferwho had hit the wall in his study of The Golfing Machine® His only recourse was to telephone the author, Homer Kelley. Thus began the student-teacher relationship that was to last until Mr. Kelley’s death in February 1983. The instruction reached its pinnacle in January 1982 when Homer invited Lynn to attend his weeklong Golf Stroke Engineering Master Class. The invitation was extended to a select group of only five. In January 2006 Lynn served as Lead Instructor teaching 28 PGA professionals at the two-day regional conference of custom clubmaker Henry-Griffitts. Lynn holds 2007 PGA TOUR Player Instructor credentials and he worked with Brian Watts, Brian Gay, John Riegger and Jay Williamson. He also teaches Meghna Bal, 2007 All India Ladies Amateur Champion. In August 2007, Lynn Blake Golf, LLC, will conduct the Barclays Classic Golf Academy at the Barclays Classic, Westchester Country Club, NY, the first of the historic Fedex Cup Series playoff events. Simultaneously, the company will conduct for the PGA TOUR the LBG Golf Academy presented by Gillette exclusively for the sponsors of the Barclays Classic at Hospitality Village. Of his recent accomplishments, he is most proud of LynnBlakeGolf.com, a website he feels is destined to revolutionize the world
of conventional golf instruction.
Bill began playing golf as a teenager and was fortunate enough to have been taught by many great teachers including Tom Strafaci, Carl Lohren and Mike Hebron. In 1983, Bill earned his Class A membership into the Professionals Golfers Association (PGA). Bill has served as Head Professional at various courses in New York and New Jersey, including the Golf Club at
Mansion Ridge, Colts Neck Golf Club, LaTourette Golf Course, Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course, and the Randalls Island Golf Practice Center. He is also a member of the New Jersey PGA Junior Committee and a former instructor with the National PGA Junior Golf Academy. Bill has coached many talented junior golfers helping to bring their games to a level that will prepare them for collegiate golf. Bill’s personal teaching philosophy is to take the strengths of each person’s swing and mold them into a repeating and natural motion. Bill believes that there is no such thing as "The Swing," however there is a "BEST" swing that will work for each individual. By developing the golf fundamentals, each student will find their best golf swing. This swing will produce a consistent ball flight. Bill’s commitment to his students is to assist them in aximizing their enjoyment of the great game of golf!
