Biografía del autor
Jim Howe began playing golf in 1961. Since then, the thousands of rounds, hundreds of tournaments, countless hours of practice, and just passion for the game have all given him a great background for teaching the game. He has continued tournament play throughout his career. As important as playing has been for the past thirty-five years, teaching has been more of his primary focus, starting at Ridge Country Club in Chicago, then moving west to California in the late '70s. It was at his first California stop, Newport Beach G.C., where he began using video during lessons. Around the same time he began teaching large classes at a local community college. The feedback from watching the video and from student comments, particularly the large groups, began shaping him into a teacher, not just someone who knew the golf swing. In 1980 he took the position as golf coach at Cal State University-Fullerton, which also gave him the opportunity to teach classes as a member the physical education staff. This staff position is one that he still holds today. The experience of coaching Division One players and teaching college classes as well as returning to school to further his education helped him continue to develop his method, style, and format. Attempting to follow the footsteps of the famous teachers Earnest Jones and Percy Boomer he taught indoors for several years. It was during this time that he developed a methodology that used a comparative analysis. This has become a very popular format in modern instruction. At the present he can be found teaching classes at Cal State University-Fullerton. He also teaches private and group lessons at a public golf course in Brea, California.
