Adult Education Golf Classes at The Mohonk Golf Course 

Ulster BOCES & SUNY Ulster 

 

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 Description

Group 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 ]. When a student is able to picture the concept and the individual movements, the learning curve is improved and accelerated.

    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.
