The Grande Dunes Golf Performance Center at <a href="http://www.mbn.com/courses/grand-dunes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grande Dunes Resort Golf Club</a> in Myrtle Beach, S.C. opened on April 1. The elite facility is designed to fit you with the best equipment and improve your game with instruction using the latest technology found in few other places.
Teachers will use Flightscope® radar that tracks the golf ball in its entire flight, as well as high-speed cameras, analyzation software, and other technology. Golf Digest awarded Flightscope the video analysis award in 2016. The Grande Dunes Performance Center will be the only place in the Myrtle Beach area where you can see the ball fly outdoors using this technology. Instructors will also use FocusBand©, a mind sensing headset that measures thoughts before and during your golf shot.
“The goal is to have a preshot routine in which you have a detailed visualization of what you want to do and then step in and do it almost subconsciously, without any mechanical instructions,” said Dale Ketola, director of instruction and club fitting at Founders Golf Performance Center. “It&#8217;s pretty cool and really works. I don&#8217;t know of anyone else in the Carolinas who has one.”
Dale Ketola is a certified club fitter who’s been teaching for 15 years with a focus that revolves around great technique, proper equipment, and the right attitude on the course. Ketola is a Class A PGA Professional who trained with Allen Terrell at Coastal Carolina University, the same coach who trained current U.S. Open Champion Dustin Johnson.
“Dale has a distinguished background of growing better golfers,” said Rick Taylor, president and CEO for Founders Group International. “When we decided to take on this endeavor, we knew Dale was the right person to lead this elite training facility.”
Ketola will have specialized professionals join him to provide seminars or clinics like Dr. Bhrett McCabe, a sports and performance psychologist and licensed clinical phychologist. Dr. McCabe currently works with numerous players on the PGA and LPGA Tours.<img decoding="async" alt="" src="/media/images/GRDU_Performance_Center_250.png" style="width: 250px;height: 150px;float: right" />
