We have spent the past seventeen years perfecting the Tour Tempo® Learning System to the point where it has become one of the most effective training systems in Golf. It all started in 1990 with the invention of the basic SPEEDBALL® Training system. We were measuring and increasing golfer’s clubhead speeds before it became widely known and accepted that this was the major factor in increasing distance. At that time we were doing what we are still doing today – increasing distance while at the same time increasing accuracy. But now with the advent of the Tour Tempo® System, we have taken that to the next level.
The Tour Tempo® System takes into consideration how human beings learn athletic movements, something sadly lacking in most of conventional golf training. We have identified the most important aspects of the golf swing and most importantly of all, we have developed a way to "communicate" them directly to your body. We bypass the conscious mind, because just knowing what you should do does not guarantee that your body will be able to carry it out.
Since 1990, we have collaborated with some of the best teachers on the planet. In addition, over the last 44 years, I have conducted an exhaustive search on the history of golf instruction. It is through these channels that we have formulated our present learning protocol. We have taken the best and most effective learning methods of Golf’s greatest teachers, past and present, and integrated them into our System.
We use Two Key Principles
1. Tour Tempo® - The Keystone of the Schools
Incorporated into all the information is an analysis of your present tempo for Putting thru Driving and how to achieve Tour Tempo® for all shots on course.
We have found that many minor mechanical problems with our students’s swing clear up when they get their tempo right. Old fashioned golf instruction wastes time and effort on changing these trivial items, whereas, we concentrate on the whole motion.
2. The Generalized Motor Program Theory and Transfer Specificity of Motor Skills
Without getting into a lot of motor skill learning precepts and details, how this applies to you is that I have invented and patented a series of training devices that are only available to students at our schools.
So what we do is take you thru a series of simple drills that employ these devices. These drills are progressive in nature – starting with the most basic motions and then building upon that to the full swing. So with the Tour Tempo® Tools, we work on every aspect of your golf game, from Putting thru Driving.
The result of these drills is that you acquire (without using conscious thought) all the desired attributes of a professional swing – the correct Tempo, swing plane, release, and the proper use and timing of all of the muscles of the body.
You will not have to worry about what starts your backswing, what starts the downswing, all the specific movements of body parts, etc. This will help you to eliminate the constant bouncing from one theory to another in the search for a consistent, powerful golf swing.
If at any time, after the School, your swing should go astray, you merely return to the Tour Tempo® training aids that are included with your tuition, and the proper execution of the drills you learned at our school - and you will be right back in the groove. They are basically all you will ever need in order to rekindle the correct golf swing sensations for the rest of your golfing life. (Options...)

GREAT SCHOOL. While the weather did not fully cooperate, I still felt very good about what we were able to get accomplished. In addition to learning more about the swing and being introduced to some excellent training aids that will help me to continue improving, I had an absolute blast. You, Jr, and Scott made me feel comfortable from the time I arrived, which was very conducive for learning. There wasn't that awkward feeling or intimidation that sometimes accompanies these type of classes. That was the most fun I have ever had on a golf trip, and I learned a lot too. I highly recommend this school to anybody who is serious about improving their game. If you follow the routine, you will hit the ball further and you WILL improve. D.B., Texas |
"I shot 66 the Saturday after school, and then finished the year by winning my club championship." |
"Shot 79 yesterday. I have not hit a drive as well on the course as I did on the range with you and Jr., but my drives (which I consider partial"misses") ranged from 240 to 280, a remarkable improvement." |
"I came in 7th in my flight of over 100 at the PGA Superstore World Amateur Championship in Myrtle Beach in August, and that was with a new set of Pings I had only played with once. I think the truth of the matter is that my confidence has gone way up after the school, especially with the putter. Practicing with the Electronic Putter is the only way to go." |
"I shot 81, 81 on two consecutive days to win my club Invitational (team event). Handicap hasn't shown the change yet as the scores didn't get in for the October numbers. My husband and I won our couples Handicap tournament. I'm hitting the ball farther and straighter than I ever have. I'm still hoping to get the most improved golfer for the season. I'll let you know how it goes." |
"I just wanted to drop you a note to express my sincere thanks for the courtesy and friendship to Shirley and myself, while attending the Tour Tempo school. With all of my travels, it will always be among my fondest memories and greatest golfing experiences. It was a pleasure meeting you and your sons and having an opportunity to work and visit with you. You have have every reason to be proud of your sons, they are fine young men. Due to the Tour Tempo program, I am looking forward to many years of better golf." |
"I increased my clubhead speed from 105 mph to 115 mph in one day." |
"I just finished playing at my home course. Shot 71, hit everything on a rope, and hit my driver 15 yards longer all day." |
"I have been having a blast with what I have learned. I finished 2nd in my big yearly tournament. During my tournament, all of my friends accused me of doing something with my game because I was consistently 30 yards longer off of the tee all week." I'm pretty proud to have hit 110 mph on a few occasions, although I'm now averaging about 105-107. I know I can improve this speed, but it is a nice jump from my pre Phoenix speed of 93 mph. The holes I drove are not long by PGA standards. But the 1st is 335yds, I rolled onto the green and off into the left greenside bunker. The 5th is a 300 yard shorty that I went over the backside and the 16th is 351 and I was approx 10 yds short to the left. All the greens are crowned so roll isn't going to get you there totally. My shots were lower than the high shots I normally hit and they took off like a rocket! I have gotten close to the 5th before but the other two were 40-50 yds closer than in the past." |
"John, many thanks for including me in the TT school. I'm excited about what I have learned and the immediate improvement in my game. Yesterday was fun... truly I was getting 25-40 yards on some drives. Also excited about the ball flight on all clubs." |
"I went to the golf course yesterday. Might have been too soon without consistent drill training, but I got invited and could not pass it up. The first hole is a par 5, dogleg right. I have never scored better than bogey on that hole, until yesterday. Used my 3 wood off the tee. A little low on trajectory but it went straight and got past the dogleg. Second shot was a 5 wood, perfectly straight. Third shot was a pitching wedge. First putt was long, perfect release and left a tap in for par. On another hole, I hit a pitching wedge that looked like it was right at the flag and I guess you taught me too well because I did not know my own strength and it flew the green. It was a good day." |
