Bohlmann Golf

As an instructor, I'm happy to offer my services to you, my student. I have been a golf instructor for over 10 years now. As a class A member of the PGA of America I have studied under the structure of the PGA golf management program and I have been mentored by outstanding PGA Members over the years; however, my interests and education go well beyond the PGA of America. I am a graduate of Valparaiso University and hold a degree in civil engineering. While my engineering training helps with understanding the mechanical structure of the swing, I believe teaching and playing the game of golf involves so much more than mechanics. There is a need to address the mind and body connection in order to teach and learn the game.
The connection between the mind and body becomes apparent when one attempts to master a game such as golf. As I've found so often, each person must come to understand himself or herself fairly well to enjoy the game. There are limitations both mental and physical in each person that either have to be overcome or accepted so that one can be comfortable on the course.
I have a strong interest in the physical/mental connection in golf and life as well. I have learned a lot over the years working with bio-mechanics (the movement capabilities of the body) and I am a practicing yogi. In fact I helped design a yoga class for golfers called GolfFlow. There is more information about this in the mind/body section of this web site. To further address the specific needs of my students I also am certified as a sports hypnotherapist. I offer the service of mental reframing to all of my students throughout the instructional process, and am willing to do specific counselling outside of the game of golf if requested.
I embrace the opportunity to meet you on the range and help you improve your enjoyment of life and the game of golf!
