About Garrett: Garret Chaussard is one of the top young instructors in America, specializing in putting performance. He is currently the Director of Instruction at Skokie Country Club outside of Chicago, IL. Garrett previously taught at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club, after competing on both the PGA Tour of Canada, and at the University of Illinois. He also played in 2004 US Amateur and the 2008 US Open.
Garrett coaches players of all abilities and levels – from Tour players to high handicappers. He is a keen researcher of all that pertains to golf, and nowhere more than in the realm of putting. He - along with yours truly - was one of the first instructors in the country to utilize the SAM (Science and Motion) Putt Lab, and is certified both in Trackman, and with Flatstick Academy (http://flatstickacademy.com/).
Garrett is one of the finest in the business at understanding how a putter moves, and how each player solves the puzzle of rolling the ball into the hole. He’s a firm believer in finding the best solution for the individual, while challenging all players to further their skills through innovative practice, game-like situations, and the use of cutting-edge putting-specific technology.
Not to miss!

"Mental Training & Toughness + Managing The Yips" Seminar
Lacking confidence on course? Anxious? Nervy - or flat our nervous? Doubtful over the ball? Mentally melt-down after a bad shot or hole? I understand - and so does Dr. Crews. And she has solutions for you. Come learn some strategies in a small group - and even spend an hour or two addressing your own demons with her one on one.
Then... there's the yips.....Ooh. Ahh. Yuck. Denial. "Don't say that word. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to look at that." Dr. Crews has heard (and seen) it all - now it's time for you to come hear one of the foremost experts in the world (she has been part of multiple studies on the yips at the Mayo Clinic) speak to the truth of what the yips are (did you know there are categories of yips?), how to identify them - and most importantly - how to deal with and play with (yep, that's right, play with) the yips.
