Golf Talk Live - with special guest: PGA Professional - Gary Brooks

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.
