Ask anyone who knows Mark Evershed, especially
his students, and the following words may be used to describe him:
exceptional teacher, great player, inventor, motivator,
relationship builder, inspiration, listener, and
friend.
Those words are just
the tip of the iceberg for the 2005
Canadian PGA Teaching Professional of the Year, who was judged on a
wide array of criteria ranging from innovative teaching techniques
to instructional articles, videos or
promotion.
“I was very honoured when I received the
phone call that I had won the Teacher of the Year award,” mentioned
Evershed. “More now than ever, people are starting to recognize the
importance of teaching and I am very excited to be a part of
that.”
As a teacher, Evershed‘s philosophy relies on “long term
relationships.” After studying the philosophies of greats such as
Homer Kelly and Persey Boomer, Evershed created his own unique
teaching style based on the premise that knowledge, rather than
muscle memory, is the path to success and that a lack of success
comes from incorrect understandings as opposed to lack of
ability.
From that premise evolved Evershed’s theory on the golf swing
called “T.G.S. Method to Better Golf”, a teaching system consisting
of CDs, books and practice devices to help golfers understand and
execute the swing.
By adopting his theory, he is confident that students will be
successful if they understand the mechanics and sequence of the
swing. Evershed has invested a considerable amount of time into
teaching and documenting his teaching philosophies. He invented
numerous devices to support his theory
including “The Power
Click”, “Weight Shift Monitor”, “The Sequence
Tube”, “Laser Club”, and the
“Magic Triangle & Ball Position
Indicator”. An author of two
books (“The Canadian Move- Right Handed and
Left Handed” and “The Six Minute Golf
Swing”), Evershed has been a feature and
contributing writer for Ontario Golf Magazine, is the co-host
of “The Golf
Report” on
Sportsnet TV, has been a regular on The Fan 590 and 680 News radio
shows in Toronto, and was the featured instructor on The Golf
Channel’s “Academy Live”. Even further, Evershed has created seven
instructional videos and a collection of 12 CDs on all aspects of
the game.
“I wake up every morning and try to improve the way I teach because
I’m possessed by it,” Evershed said. “All of my time is put into
improving myself and getting better at what I
do.”
