Mike & Billy share some insights on their
trip to the 2009 PGA Fall Expo in Las Vegas.
Mark
Blackburn originally arrived in America from
London, England, in 1994 on a college golf scholarship. After two
years of playing college golf at The University of Mobile he was
recruited to play golf for The University of Southern Mississippi.
A multiple Lettermen and Team Captain, Mark received a BS in
Exercise Science and Coaching in 1998. Upon completing his senior
season Mark began a professional playing career. After 3 years of
on the Hooters Tour with inconsistency and injury, it was obvious
game improvement was essential to reach the PGA Tour.
What prevailed was the microscopic study of the golf swing, golf’s
biomechanics and the game itself. Continual research and discovery
produced dramatic results in his performance. Mark’s game
improvement saw him as an alternate in the 2002 US Open at Bethpage
Park, followed by victories in the Dixie Section PGA.
Mark’s playing resume and communication skills drew attention to
Blackburn Golf. Golfer’s sought the precision Mark could offer to
their golf game. A PGA Member and GSEM Authorized Instructor of The
Golfing Machine, Mark continues to work with golfers of all levels.
Whether, a beginner or touring professional, adding precision is
the key to a golfers long term improvement.
The interest in Blackburn Golf is growing rapidly with students
travelling from across the country to take instruction. Building
better golfer’s verses perfect golf swings is the only way to long
term improvement.
The playing experience and knowledge Mark offers is unique to
Blackburn Golf. He feels there are no bad students, just bad
teachers. One golfer at a time, Blackburn Golf will build a game
suited to each individual student.
