Gordon Dale
CGTF
Level III Member, British Columbia, Canada

Gordon Dale has been a member of the USGTF since 1993, although he currently lives and works in Canada.  He owns and operates Canada’s Best Golf Academy in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, where he has taught over 3,000 lessons.  His students come from all over Canada, the United States, Asia, Europe, and Africa.

            Prior to this, Gordon began his teaching career in Alberta.  He then opened the Fire Park Golf Centre in Calgary, which was his own indoor range and clubmaking and repair shop.  He then moved to Valemount, British Columbia, where he was the teaching professional at Melsview Golf Club and at the Valemount Golf Course.  He then went on to Chinook Cove Golf Club in Barrie, BC, and Eagle Point Golf & Country Club in Kamloops, BC, before opening Canada’s Best Golf Academy.

            Gordon has also authored a book titled The Basics of Golf for the Amateur, which he distributes to his students. “I believe my publication reinforces and enhances their learning process,” says Gordon.  “This is achieved by sticking with the basics, explaining all the procedures as simply and to-the-point as possible.

            “In my humble opinion, too much of society seems to have a trend toward passive observation. If each one of us could convince one person each day of the rewards of taking up the game of golf, just imagine the incredible impact it would have.”
