Doug Howell CGTF Master Teaching Professional
After a successful business career in banking and consulting, Doug began his career in the golf industry in 1998 with Brock Golf Course, when it was known as The Greens At Brock. Joining the CGTF in 2006 and achieving his Level IV certification in 2007, Doug now serves Niagara as a qualified Master Teaching Professional. Doug’s teaching philosophy centers around the fundamentals of the swing, being grip, alignment, stance, posture and positions of the golf ball. It is his belief that without these basics in place, one cannot begin to make a proper golf swing. Working with beginners to low handicappers, Doug ensures these fundamentals are part of each students' own swing. Natural position and movement is everything. The ‘short game’ is a critical part of Doug’s instruction. Putting, chipping, pitching, and sand play are such an important part of the game that Doug encourages students to spend 2/3 of their practice time on these skills.
