Bill Bath has had a long and distinguished teaching career.  Since 1998, he has served as the Director of Instruction at the Clarington Driving Range in Bowmanville, Ontario.  And, since 2001, he has been involved with the Canadian Golf Teachers Federation as an examiner and course director, with over 40 courses taught.

            “My role in advancing the game and its growth has been primarily in certifying hundreds of teaching professionals across Canada,” says Bill. “I have done countless hours of research and passed my knowledge on to others who, with a part of me, will improve the enjoyment of the game to others.”

            Not only does Bill do a great job teaching others how to teach, but he also finds much success in teaching others how to play, with a deep understanding of the fundamentals of the game.

            “The grip is extremely vital to have success in the swing I teach,” says Bill. “A neutral grip is most desired but not 100 percent necessary.  I teach to swing the club through weight transfer.  Active hands will not let this action repeat.  Light grip pressure is a main focus.”

            Bill is a gifted speaker and always keeps his audience entertained on all aspects of golf, including the full swing, the short game, golf psychology, rules of the game, marketing oneself as a teaching professional, and clubfitting.
