Your Instructor
Mr. Gutkin began his trade with a traditional "old world" apprenticeship. Mr.
Gutkin was an assistant golf professional working under two Class "A" P.G.A. golf professionals in
the U.S.A. His apprentice ship led to a self taught education in the art
of wood club making. Mr. Gutkin
apprenticed with master club
maker Irv Schloss of Dunedin, Florida. "I purchased all my club making tools
from Mr. Schloss, and I vividly remember his sense of humor". Mr. Schloss,
who
was in his late eighties at the time, always kidded me about his life time guarantee.
Mr. Gutkin found his new teacher, Richard Zarro, a gifted, guild certified hypnotist and certified instructor. Under Zarro's guidance Mr. Gutkin began studying the unconscious mind and the possibilities for peak states of human excellence. A powerful seed was planted. Gutkin continues to study the endocrine system and the nervous system as it relates to human learning. He is taking in information, and translating it through his private practice, group practice and most currently through public speaking engagements . His client list may include a golfing society from Europe or a corporation looking for new ways of training their employees. "My teaching comes with my lifetime guarantee. It is based on the most current research available concerning the process of learning a new skill set, physical, academic or a combination of both as in Sport."

Adult Education Official Rain Policy.
The week following your class is the dedicated rain dates. Subject to the weather your class will use Monday, Wednesday and Friday, of the following week to reschedule weather cancelled classes. We use the Weather Channel and an online website to determine cancellation. The decision is the responsibility of your instructor. If the weather suggests cancellation you will be called at the contact number you supplied when registering. Messages may be left and we assume no responsibility if you do not retrieve your messages on time. If you are unable to attend any of the scheduled make up days Ulster BOCES or SUNY ULSTER will try to place you in another class of equal skill. (Please remember that classes are limited to a 8 students.) If you are unable to attend any of the make up days or you must miss a class, with the exception of an emergency “health issue” Ulster BOCES or SUNY ULSTER will not be responsible for a refund. Classes will be held in a light rain. A forecast of thunder and lightening historically constitutes a high percentage of course cancellations. Please check your messages. Please note after 35 years of making these decisions, this is one area of my profession that does not get easier with time. We all have busy and tight schedules. Please trust that we are taking cancellations serious and have your safety foremost in mind.
Course DescriptionGroup golf : Co-ed, Women Only, Beginner, intermediate
Each student will be introduced to the
basic concept of the golf swing. The concept reveals where control and
power are derived. The purpose of understanding the concept is to help the student visualize the swing as a whole. Modern teaching models show that
when a person is learning a new skill, physical or academic, the brain builds a network
(reticulum) of new brain cells called
[neurons ]. The grip, stance [which includes posture], ball position [within the stance], aim and alignment, are covered and reviewed each session. Each class starts with a lecture along with a question and answer session. Students then hit balls while the instructor provides individual attention based on your skill level. Classes are limited to 8 students . Our instruction goal allows for quality one on one attention. Please print or read my essay, master thesis, found on www.gutkin.org in preparation of your classes.
