Medicus Certified instructors are known throughout the golf world for their knowledge and expertise in the science of the golf stroke and their ability to train others in the fundamental relationships centered around precision alignments.
All Medicus instructors must undergo rigorous training before they can become Medicus certified and must attend and pass oral and written exams, be able to execute and demonstrate the concepts of Medicus Swingology Alignments, and be evaluated as having excellent communication and people skills.
As a part of student membership you can select your own personal primary instructor who will be your One-On-One guide for all phases of your instruction and ongoing evaluation. You will directly correspond with your instructor through all phases of your Medicus training, allowing you to be personally guided through each step of your skill development. Some of our Certified Medicus Instructors can also be made available at various locations for live personal training lessons at many resorts and golf courses worldwide. |
