Patti McGowan, PGA/LPGA Teaching Professional
Knack-4-Golf - Lake Nona, Florida

Patti McGowan launched KNACK4 GOLF in the fall of 2000 after more than a decade as Director of Instructor Training with the David Leadbetter Golf Academies Worldwide. It became quite clear at an early age that Patti had a KNACK4 GOLF. Her career began when she picked up a set of clubs at the age of 15. Within a year, she had shot 72 to win the opportunity to play in the very first National PGA Junior Championship.

Patti's college and professional career eventually led her to golf instruction. A Class "A" member of both the PGA and the LPGA, she has been named by Golf Magazine as one of the "100 Best Instructors in America" as well as one of GOLF FOR WOMEN' magazines "Top 50 Teachers." Patti is a frequent contributor to Golf Magazine and GOLF FOR WOMEN and has shared her insights on the Golf Channel's "Academy Live" program.

The KNACK4GOLF Philosophy has universal appeal and benefit; and has been applied in assisting countless touring and club professionals in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Patti has played a vital role in the training and development of hundreds of golf instructors, and she continues to work with many of the world's top business leaders on fine-tuning their personal games and assisting them with various corporate events.

Most people know Patti McGowan from her eleven years as part of the extensive and legendary organization of the David Leadbetter Golf Academies. Having served as the Director of Instructor Training and Certification Worldwide, Patti led some cutting-edge initiatives to bring top-notch golf training and instruction to many clubs, professionals and golfers around the globe.

KNACK⁴GOLF was created to help all golfers at all levels enjoy playing and teaching the game more by delivering results — faster, better, long-lasting results — more than any other instructional or "teach-the-teacher" programs available today. 

"I am thrilled to announce this move both personally and professionally," states Patti. "The launch of KNACK⁴GOLF allows me to fulfill my dream of truly integrating my life study of swing mechanics and how both skilled and unskilled golfers learn and consistently perform their best. "Our mission is to help players and coaches master consistent, efficient patterns of movement (in the golf swing and otherwise) by identifying personal patterns affecting performance, learning and positive change."

When combined and taught as a whole, KNACK⁴GOLF helps individuals learn clever ways to quickly develop lasting access to good tactical and emotional "feelings" in their golf game. These "feelings" are then associated with a crystal clear knowledge of how to develop the complete golfing package for life.

KNACK⁴GOLF will initially provide four primary services and benefits:

• Unparalleled golf instruction and follow-up coaching for all levels of players
• Individual Instructor Training and "Mentor-ship Programs" for club professionals and instructors
• Consulting services to build or further enhance quality instructional programs for private, public, and resort golf clubs/academies
• Fun, exciting and turn-key corporate events focused around golf, ensuring improved customer relationships, outstanding "team building" environments, and profitable, long-term relationships for companies

Orlando, Florida will be the official headquarters of KNACK⁴GOLF. If you need further information, call Patti at (407) 857-8758, (800) 866-GOLFK4G or contact her by email
