#26 Play to Learn Golf
We are going to talk all about learning and play in this episode with Michael Hebron who has received over twenty – five awards , including National PGA TEACHER of the Year. In 2013 Michael was inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame. In 2019 elected to the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame.
Michael believes there are many good reasons to study and research the brains connection to the nature of learning and they arrive every day in every learning environment. Michael says “Play” stands for Powerful Learning About Yourself. We are going to discuss this and some other topics such as paradoxes around learning golf.
Michael has been researching the brain’s connection to learning with lots of help from award-winning educators and scientists for over two decades. What happens after a lesson is his concern. He has written six books and over one hundred instruction articles.
Michael has been invited to speak all over the world and I feel fortunate that he was so kind to come and join us on the raising golfers podcast.
