Pennsylvania Golf School - The Teacher Who Listens

By Brian Weis

Being in a classroom where you know the subject matter and understand the teacher is not overwhelming and for many is even relaxing. On the other hand, walking into a class where you're lost from the second the teacher introduces themselves sucks.

We all want to feel empowered in the classroom, confident we are learning and becoming well versed in whatever the day's lesson plans are.

The same principle applies on the golf course. I know my goal is to hit from between the tee markers and get it in the hole in the least number of strokes possible. I don't know the best way to do it.

We all share a similar mindset and having a teacher who takes the time to make sure you aren't lost, that you're gaining value, and each lesson leaves you in a better place than you started is all you can ask for. The Pennsylvania Golf School knows this, and the teachers share the mindset of the students.

A Two-Way Street
A golf school instructor needs to be friendly, caring, and above all, knowledgeable. With Bird Golf, that's what you get. A recent attendee, Debi, had this to say about her pro.

"She is so humble and so easy to work with that when you have to take constructive criticism and make changes, it's very easy to do. Her attitude is not about her, it's about what you have and what she can bring out of you as an athlete and golfer which is very refreshing. I know a lot of people that have gone to golf schools and they walked away with the impression that it was more about the instructor than the student. I couldn't ever see a situation where [she] would have that attitude,"

"This experience is going to make me a better golfer but more importantly, it has shown me some things about myself that I have lost touch with. Now I have a better understanding of who I am and what I'm capable of going forward."

The Pennsylvania Golf School embodies a culture of respect and learning. Because the environment fosters friendship as much as it does lower scores, students find joy in the game. While many find that happiness solely through lower scores, other individuals seek a holistic experience. This second group of people are ones who thrive-and end up with even better scores.

More than Golf
If you want to improve your swing for a few rounds, you take a lesson. If you want sustained improvement and a refreshed outlook, you make your way to the Pennsylvania Golf School.

At this type of facility, you're knee deep in the game the second you arrive. You're around like-minded individuals of varying skill levels trying to improve. You have access to facilities, golf and otherwise, that give you the breathing room needed to throw away stress and find harmony with your game.

A few hours on the course, a few hours taking in views or indulging in the other amenities-it all comes together. When you're at a golf school, you work together with top notch professionals and yourself. This means putting yourself first, and whether it's in golf or life, you always come out on top.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
