To All who search for a better way to play,

 
I have been a member of the Australian PGA since 1968 and played for many
years on the various PGA Tours as a tournament player and have witnessed the
careers of great players such as Kel Nagle, Peter Thomson, David Graham,
Greg Norman, Wayne Grady and Ian Baker-Finch just to name a few. Since the
early 1990’s I have concentrated on my teaching career and playing senior
events.

Peter Croker introduced me to his method in the early ninety’s and the first
thing that happened was that I had immediate success with my own game.
Having always struggled to gain more length, I suddenly found the extra 25
yards that I had been looking for off the tee and my shots were much more
solid and consistent.

A lot of my fellow professionals commented on this and all of a sudden I was
able to win a few pro-am events and had some good finishes in the senior
tournaments later on.

I became very excited about what Peter had shown me and found that my
teaching improved dramatically with a lot of my students achieving immediate
success with just a small amount of the knowledge I had received from Peter.

The journey was only just beginning not just for me, but for Peter Croker,
whose passion, knowledge and hard work has fine-tuned his method to the
“Croker Golf System” as it is today.

From those early days I began along with Peter, to introduce his technology
to various tour players at the major tournaments here in Australia. Players
such as Wayne Grady, David Graham were very impressed with the simplicity
and workability of Peter’s method. Simon Owen who we worked with prior to
his senior career and after having retired from tournament golf for many
years, suddenly found himself back in contention every week and making top
ten finishes consistently. Simon was awarded “Rookie of the Year” on the
2001 European Senior Tour. There are many other Australian touring
professionals who have been helped along the way such as Michael Etherington
for example who won the Australian PGA Tour Qualifying School. Terry Price,
recent winner of the New Zealand Open 2004, Paul Moloney, Robert Stevens,
Bradley Hughes to mention a few.

David Iwasaki-Smith went on to win the Australian PGA Match Play
Championship and just failed to pull of an extraordinary wire to wire
success at the Australian Open at the Metropolitan Golf Club in Melbourne.

I am now enjoying the Master Teacher’s course with Peter Croker and looking
forward to passing on my knowledge to all of my students and those that know
there is a “Path to Better Golf” and the “Peter Croker Golf System” will
deliver it.

 
Sincerely,
