Welcome to “Golf Talk Live! Join me this week as I welcome my special guest: Gary Brooks – PGA Teaching Professional, Owner of G. A. Brooks Golf Company & Inventor of the Straight Arm. A little about Gary: Gary Brooks began his teaching career as an Assistant Golf Professional in 1979. Gary’s knowledge of the swing increased when he had the opportunity to work with one of the Golf Digest Top 100 Teachers, Ed Oldfield. Through the years, Gary was always trying to find different ways to improve his student's swing. Gary felt, if his students could repeat the positions they learned during their lesson, they would be more consistent and enjoy playing golf a lot more. As golf teaching aids became more popular with the average golfer, they also became wonderful tools to a PGA Professional. With a variety of teaching aids on the market, students quickly learned that feeling the correct swing fundamentals did improve their swings. In 1990, Gary experimented with many of his own prototypes of teaching aids that he believed would help his students. After a year of many wild contraptions, concepts and theories, Gary believed he came up with a teaching aid that would be helpful to the PGA Professional in their teaching but also to the passionate students who couldn’t afford the help of a PGA Professional. In 1991, Gary invented his teaching aid the “Original” Straight Arm. Golf Talk Live is available for download on iTunes, and at Stitcher.com.

Todays guest entrepreneur joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired business podcast is someone that makes me think,if I was to choose any theme for a podcast then it would be one looking at how people moved from one role to another. One dream to another.And add a few stumbles,falls,and mistakes,before ending up where they should be in life. I would call it “Join Up Dots” and have this guy on everyday, because man he has a history that, well, you really need to have a stiff drink or two to work out the connections. Starting way back in 1998, for over seven years he ran the golf shop as the Assistant Golf Professional at the Los Serranos Golf Course in California, before finding the motivation to leave and work as a teacher for the Chino Valley Unified School District. Jump on a few years, and he was to leave this career, to go it alone with a home tutoring set up with his sister, to bring isnpirationto students that would gain greater benefit with some home tuition. Ok, then so its a job in Education for our guest then!Nope, as he then went back to the Golf Course by setting up 19th Hole Media, to help local courses grow their profile and memberships by developing an online community.Using the power of the web, to develop the game at grass roots level. And with an amazing podcast called “Defining Success”, and being President of both Welborn Social Media , and 19th Hole Media, our guest is most certainly a busy man. In fact it makes me wonder how he creates the freedom of time to go out and do his work. So without further ado, I would like to introduce you to todays guest….Mr Zeb Welborn
