Golf : ‘Keeper of the game’ PGA Golfer to share tips in Auckland, Queenstown and Christchurch

New Zealand golfers seeking to lift their game have a one off opportunity to learn from one of the world’s great coaches.



After an illustrious career that has spanned 30 years of professional golf, life as a lawyer and tax law teacher and a flirtation with politics, 69 year old golf legend Terry Dill is to visit New Zealand to take part in the New Zealand Seniors Series and share his knowledge of the game.



Terry Dill has coached Queenstown’s own PGA Seniors Tour contender Jim Lapsley and NZPGA (The Professional Golfers’ Association of New Zealand) has arranged for Dill to offer coaching for low handicap amateurs and young professional golfers while he’s in the country.



“This is just such a superb opportunity for anyone who wants to take their game to the highest level,” says Lapsley.



Lapsley says Dill is known as the world’s highest money winning PGA coach describes him as a brilliant coach and amazing man.



“His story is incredible. It covers a gamut of careers interspersed with periods of professional golfing. He qualified for the European tour in 2006 at age 67 and is now keen to pass on his huge knowledge.



“Terry coached me for two weeks in May 08 and during that time we didn’t cover the same ground twice. His knowledge of the game is astounding and I seriously recommend anyone considering a professional golf career seize this opportunity. ”



Terry has a vast knowledge of the game and has been endorsed by players such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Ben Crenshaw.



Seminars will be held in Auckland (March 14&15 and 16&17), Christchurch (March 20 &21) and Queenstown (March 24&25). The two day seminars cost $400 and students can bring along their own coaches for an extra $125. All proceeds go to the NZPGA.
