THE EXCITEMENT is building as the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show is ready to tee off, with demo day today at the Orange County National driving range and practice facility.

Then the following three days are spent at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. But just a par 5 away from the convention center, is one of the top teaching academies not only in Florida but the country. The Brad Brewer academy is the home of teaching professional Brad Brewer, and is the place where  “The King” Arnold Palmer would go to work on his game away from the masses at at his home course Bay Hill. Some years ago Palmer had Brewer help him launch the Arnold Palmer golf schools. The Brad Brewer Academy is located within the Shingle Creek Golf Club and the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel, with over 1,500 rooms.

Brewer’s connection to Palmer hasn’t been lost on the many major corporations that attend his school, to provide their executives with instruction to learn the game of golf and how important it is, in the world of business today, and how important golf can be in a corporate team building experience.

Brewer a PGA-Class A Professional was a successful competitor on the Australia-Asian PGA Tour, and the Nike/Hogan Tours.

Brewer has received the North Florida PGA teacher of the year award, and Junior Golf Leader of the Year. Brewer was named a Top 100 teacher by Golf Magazine. The Golf Channel hired Brewer to produce and advise on their online instruction.

Brewer has been the author of, My Golf Journal, Golf for Everybody, Mentored by the King, and the soon to be published, Pro Secrets. Brewer an artist in the world of painting, is an advisory staff member to TaylorMade-Adidas, FlightScope, and the PGA of America’s President’s Council.

Mentored by the King, by Brad Brewer

Brewer’s book, Mentored by the King, includes Arnold Palmer’s Success Lessons for Golf, Life and Business.

It’s 206 pages of reading, without pictures and provides solid good reading.

Another good thing about the Brewer Academy is his team of instructors that includes Chicago area native Chris Spalla, who leanred the game while growing up at the Olympia Fields Country Club in the south suburbs.

Instruction from Brewer and his team comes on the range, in the video rooms, in front of the monitors and on the golf course. If you are ready for new equipment, why not get your fitting done at the Brad Brewer Academy. Shingle Creek Golf Course that surrounds the academy, had a renovation four years ago, and was one of the last golf courses Palmer himself worked on before his passing.

If your game, your group, or your company is ready to head south, warm up and get ready for the golf season ahead, why not start the year out right at the Brad Brewer Golf Academy in Orlando.
