Carl Rabito at the Aspen Golf Club

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

If you didn’t think you got enough practice early in the season for your golf game now is the chance to receive complimentary instruction from one of GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers.

The Carl Rabito Golf Academy’s very own, Carl Rabito, will be at the Aspen Golf Club personally July 8, 9, and 10 to  provide free swing analysis and teach personal lessons. Rabito is one of 43 PGA Master Teaching Professionals and a GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher.

The foundation for the methods taught at the Carl Rabito Golf Academy is built upon the anatomical principle that “structure governs function.”  Through these principles, students are successfully taught an anatomically-correct golf swing such that they can become their own teacher.  Rabito has had success with a wide range of players on the PGA, LPGA and Nationwide Tours, as well at all levels of amateur play.  He has frequent bylines in major golf publications and has several guest appearances on the Golf Channel and on XM Satellite Radio.

For more information on the Carl Rabito Golf Academy at Aspen Golf Club, or to register for lessons please contact David DeMay at (352) 409-1778 or email david.rabitogolf@hotmail.com. Information also available by calling the Aspen Golf shop at 970-429-1949.
