Martina Eberl-Ellis on her Golf Academy
The German player Martina Eberl-Ellis opened a golf academy recently. In a latest post, she talked about the background behind this venture and what motivated her to branch out into professional golf training.
The idea was born out of her frustration about lack of proper golf academies that teach golf as it is ought to be taught.
She has firm ideas about the whole methodology of golf coaching and this academy is the place where she implements her ideas.
In the post, she explained her ideas in detail. To her, golf coaching is not just about teaching someone to play golf. A golf academy should be an all-encompassing experience that should prepare the player for amateur or professional level golf in all respects.
So how is Martina Eberl’s Academy different from the scores of other academies that dot the German golf scene?
For one thing, she is a well known German golfer who has a proven professional golf record. She has used this record to convince people that a pro golfer of her standing is the best option they have for learning the game and its finer techniques.
Another and far more important reason is the very distinct structure and make-up of her golf academy. In keeping with her opinion about 360-degree golf training, the academy employs a fitness coach, a technical coach and a nutrition expert.
What makes the academy unique is the position of a club fitter. This very important aspect is often overlooked by the golf academies.
The novice players have to use trail-and-error to come up with the combination of clubs that best suits them.
At the Martina Eberl Golf Academy, her husband, a qualified golf coach, fills this position. The players who attend the academy receive very good technical advice about golf clubs that help them improve their game in a short span of time.
Martina Eberl is looking forward to expending her Academy. The most important expansion will be the hiring of a female pro golfer to help train the players better. She is very interested in hiring another German professional, Hanna Baum.
