Jim McLean Golf Schools

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the top five golf instructors in the world, Jim McLean has worked for 20 years with top touring professionals such as Ben Crenshaw and Cristie Kerr as well as beginning golfers to improve their skills. The Jim McLean Golf School was created with this in mind to provide a place where amateurs and pros can go to work on their golf skills.

The schools include state-of-the-art practice and instructional facilities. They have become the #1 golf school[1] in the United States. It is also the only place you can learn the Eight Step Swing System. The Jim McLean golf school employs 6 of Golf Digest's "Top 50 Teachers" in America.[2]

There are currently 6 schools located in the United States: Doral Golf Resort & Spa, PGA West, La Quinta Resort & Club, Grand Traverse Resort & Spa, Wigwam Golf Resort and Jim McLean Golf Center. A 7th school is being built at Red Ledges.
