Beginning February 6, 2009 Medicus Golf will be welcoming our European Junior Player Development Players to Destin Florida for 10 days of hands on instruction with Chuck Evans, Executive Director of Instruction, and team.

There are several other elements to this event besides just golf swing instruction both on the range and the golf course. Other elements will be the opportunity for our juniors to work with our mental coach Carey Mumford (please note schedule below). The opportunity will also be available for golf instructors from both Europe and around the world to attend this event in Destin and receive training in the art of teaching and the science of the golf swing as well as training by Carey in the mental game.

For those who are members of the Medicus Player Development Program and the Medicus Instructor Network are welcomed to attend this event as well as bringing any juniors in your stable who are interested in joining the Medicus Player Development Program. We understand that during this period those juniors in the States will most likely be still in school. To overcome this issue we suggest those juniors to attend the event during the first weekend so that each player can work with both Chuck and Carey.

Host Resort:
Just minutes from Emerald Bay, here in the center of Florida's fantastic Emerald Coast, amid the sugar white beaches and the crystal blue-green waters, is an oasis where everything has come together at the right time and in the right place. Seascape Resort was conceived to exist in harmony with the unspoiled natural beauty of the coast, so residents and guests can enjoy the lush tropical breeze, soft sands and golden sunsets the way nature truly intended.

Realizing we could not improve upon the perfection of the Gulf's sparkling emerald waters, we left it as it was and nestled our grounds just behind the coast's tranquil beauty. Our deluxe condominium accommodations include Golf and Tennis Villas for the avid sports person, Lakefront and Boardwalk Villas, and the beach-front Majestic Sun twin tower high-rise, and the two newly opened 22 floor high-rise Ariel Dunes I and II, all just a seagull's cry from the Gulf of Mexico.

Overlooking 2000 feet of pristine sugar-white sands and blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Seascape Resort showcases an exclusive location among Destin beachfront accommodations. Begin your day in glorious fashion by watching the sun glide above the Gulf of Mexico. Indulge in soothing naps on the beach while waves gently lap the sand. Or enjoy an early morning or sunset stroll along the coastline, when it's just you and your thoughts. Moments like these are what draw visitors to the Emerald Coast.

About Chuck Evans, Executive Director of Instruction Medicus Golf:
Chuck Evans has been teaching golf since 1970 and is one of only 31 teachers worldwide designated to hold a "Doctorate in Golf Stroke Engineering." He is Executive Director of Instruction for the Medicus Golf and has served as Director of Schools for the PGA Tour Golf Academy and the Director of Instruction for the United States Golf Institute and The Golfing Machine.

In addition, Chuck has been the featured speaker at various PGA Sections, LPGA teaching workshops and European Teaching workshops. Known as a "Teachers Teacher" over 40% of Golf's TOP Teachers on the famed Top 100 and Top 50 lists have attended his workshops on the science of the golf stroke.

During this time Chuck has taught in excess of 200,000 players through private lessons, golf schools, workshops and seminars.

Chuck has also been recognized by his peers and Golf Magazine's as a TOP 100 Instructor and has published numerous instructional articles both in national and local golf publications as well as for World Golf.com

About Carey G. Mumford, Mental Coach:
For the past 28 years, Carey Mumford has used his energy and background to encourage and support the competence of those who manage, teach and play the game of golf. Prior to that time, he was involved with services to people, first through hospital chaplaincy and then in counseling and coaching for human resource development. His devotion to such challenges has been constant.

During the several years he gave to human resource development for a major Sunbelt resort/recreation developer, he was often sought out by golf professionals, club managers and others associated with the game, for help with their various tasks. His understanding of human behavior, self-management and stress reduction were most welcome among the resources they wanted.

That led to an invitation from the PGA of America, as they began their advanced education program, to serve on the faculty, which he did for the duration of the school. In addition, he has continued to conduct playing and teaching clinics and workshops across the country and in Canada, and regularly coaches amateur and professional players, assisting them with the mental skills that influence building effective habits and playing the game. He is also a regular contributor of articles for newsletters and golf forums across the globe, and has books out in 20 countries. He also assists corporate groups with systems and human resource issues, concerns and developmental needs.

In their special issue on the mental game in 1990, Golf Magazine recognized him among the top dozen golf psychologists in the country, and Golf World Magazine devoted two pages to his second book (The Double Connexion) in the Pro-Report section of their June 19, 1992 issue. His work was featured in the "The 2000 Official Guide to Junior Golf published as "The Game for Life."

His unique approach to the mental game has earned wide acceptance among golf professionals, largely because it goes beyond "what" ought to happen and shows "how" it is implemented and used by any player or instructor. Unnecessary complications are normalized through the process he designed by integrating principles of behavior, psychology and physiology. Thus teachers and players have "user-friendly" resources to reshape widely held, though misleading, notions that have unwittingly influenced players to "shoot themselves in the foot."

Two of the books he has written, GOLF'S BEST KEPT SECRET and THE DOUBLE CONNEXION, describe the context of "playing the game within yourself" and the natural principles and processes essential to balance and integrate mental and manual skills. That allows players to move naturally, and without hindrance, from the practice tee to the golf course. The applications to life and work are equally present also. It was the cross-currents of common denominators in these seemingly dissimilar arenas that stimulated both books.

He has faced more than 22,000 of the Class A Member Professionals of the PGA, conducted in excess of 200 clinics for amateurs and professionals in 30 states and Canada, and worked individually with over 100 players on the several Professional Golf Tours of record since 1980.
