Randy Smith, former
PGA of America’s Teacher of the Year and Golf Professional
of the Year endorses the Explanar…
Explanar Golf is proud
to announce that Randy Smith now uses the
Explanar at his teaching facility at the prestigious
Royal Oaks Country Club, Dallas, Texas.
Explanar CEO Tony Clark:
“Explanar is honoured that Randy Smith now
has an Explanar and importantly that he’s using it
with such a wide range of students from beginners to Tour
Players. Randy’s pedigree is second to none and his
induction into the PGA of America Hall of Fame in 2005 is
testimony to the respect that he has amongst his peers.
We are grateful that so many instructors of the highest
quality are investing in Explanar and proud of the testimonials
we continue to receive.”
Randy Smith commented: “Explanar
has been a great addition to Royal Oaks Country Club. I’m
a fan of anything that can make teaching easier and more
fun for both the instructor and the student. Any coach will
tell you that to get a student at any level to understand
‘feel’ has always been difficult but with the
Explanar I can get my message across in a fraction of the
time with dramatic results. I’m having great success
with it.”
