Subject: Thank you - The First Tee in Seattle

Hi Ramsay,
Thank you so much for being a guest speaker during The First Tee phase 3 seminars in Seattle last week.  You were wonderful and very inspiring.  I went home and I was so excited to tell my husband what I had learned as well as my head professional and friends!  I have even sent some of my friends to your website and instructed them on some "spikey ball" activities.  You were very motivating and inspiring in Seattle and I thought you did a great job!  You gave me a new perspective of seeing things and exercising and you made all the interactive activities very fun!  I saw many other First Tee coaches use your exercises in the lesson plans that were delivered on Saturday.  You would be proud!  

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Robyn Lorain

From the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in South Korea I would just like to thank you for you work and effort over the last 8 weeks, the Physical program you put together is the most comprehensive and Professional DLGA Korea has ever had and played a big part in the success of this year’s winter training camp and the success of our professional players around the world.  Your program not only helps improve current playing preformance but also looks to the future in preventing injury which fits in with the DLGA philosophy of building not fixing.  We all look forward to working with you and your team again and developing our relationship further.

You are all the best in the business in what you do; I have no doubt of that.

Kind Regards

Tino Weiss is one of a number of talented golf professionals who have visited Ramsay and his team in Melbourne for golf specific physical training. If you would like a great insight into what a Train Like a Tour Player golf training programme involves then read Tino's Diary. Tino Weiss's Golf Training Diary

"The 'Get Fit for Golf' seminars provide the highest standard of practical information to participants. The speakers are involved at all levels of golf which is a unique situation. This provides a comprehensive approach to the subject of golf specific training and injury prevention.
I personally access the extensive services the speakers provide for my ongoing education and for my players. In conclusion, the programs that the speakers and Victorian Institute of Sport provide are truly world's best practice and a must for any individual seriously interested in getting involved in the sport of golf "

"Ramsay is a true Scotsman, with an infectious enthusiasm for both golf and physical therapy. He has gained a great deal of practical and theoretical experience working with golfers of all abilities, playing and teaching professionals, and with many national golfing associations, and he clearly enjoys sharing this knowledge on his courses and seminars.
He will combine familiar concepts of orthopaedic assessment, muscle balance and dynamic flexibility with golf-specific and swing-specific bio-mechanical and postural observations.
His courses will show you how to bridge the gaps between golfer, therapist and teaching professional as a combined team effort. Dedicated golf therapists, or just those with a professional interest will gain assessment skills, clinical solutions and new ideas from Ramsay."
Robert Wood, Physiotherapy Consultant for Golf World Magazine

"There is a multitude of information on golf specific training however the infomation presented by Ramsay and the Professional Coaches from the Institutes of Sport in Australia have a strong golf foundation and are fully integrated with the teaching of the golf swing. This is a major factor and this in conjunction with the results of a decade of work in golf specific training has produced information that PGA Tour Players can understand. and use on an everyday basis. The Golf Fitness Systems Software and Get Fit for Golf Workshops reinforce this view."
Mathew Goggin
US PGA Tour Player

"Physical Therapist Ramsay McMaster and Golf coach Dennis McDade show a great interest in sharing their knowledge. They are very approachable, genuine and are willing to help both during and after class. This is a great help for students who desire putting together their own program for golfers.
Susan Rovnak, USA. PT

"Ramsay's knowledge of the body and golf specific fitness is vital to anyone who wants to play better golf. Ramsay clearly understands the importance of coordinating the expertise of the physical therapist and the golf professional. Ramsay clearly explains how the body works in the golf swing and the appropriate physical regime to prevent injury. Ramsay's passion for golf fitness is contagious!"

"Ramsay's presentations are the best in the world. He is outstanding in his delivery and he makes all the information easy to understand. Ramsay is a golfer and an amazing presenter. His seminars are a blast, he keeps you energized and truly excited to go and use the wealth of information he has just shared with you.
Ramsay has worked with so many top players in the world. His record of helping players play their best is second to none. Any golf professional or physical Therapist/ Trainer who is actively working to becoming his or her best would certainly do themselves a world of good to work with Ramsay."

"Thanks to Ramsay McMaster and Caroline Creager for a great golf seminar. I've been disappointed in the past with other courses that focused more on selling franchises than presenting information. My goal for learning about video analysis, exercises with a focus on flexibility, strength and balance for golfers, and marketing a golf specific program has been exceded. I highly recommend this seminar to anyone interested in working with golf clients in any setting. Thanks again!"
Bruce Langevin PT, CSCS

The US Fit for Golf is an exceptional program for both the physical therapist and golf professional. The program demonstrates how the physical therapist and golf professional can improve the quality of life and golf for any golfer. Working together produces more contacts and business for both the physical therapist and golf professional. I highly recommend the program."
David Wurzer PhD
Education Section of the South California PGA

"As a physiotherapist working with professional and elite amateur players, I believe the assessment skills and training programs taught on the course are invaluable. The software is the perfect adjunct to the course, allowing constant and easy reference to a wealth of information. I highly recommend both to anyone interested in golf or the treatment of golfers. I wish the Ramsay and the team continued success."
Orlaith Buckley
Physiotherapist for the Irish Golf Team

"I have been fortunate enough to attend and participate in a number of presentations and seminars that Ramsay has organised. It's always exhilarating to listen to and to work alongside someone with such knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm. I always come away feeling inspired and motivated. Ramsay is an innovator in his field and deserves the worldwide recognition that he now gets for his work. It's reassuring to know that golfers are now able to access such knowledge and to gain significant benefits both in their games and lifestyles."

Hi Ramsay,  At last I have (just) made it into single figures - thought you might like to hear. Had a +5 par win last Saturday which has taken my exact handicap to 9.9.  If the round had been stableford or sroke I would have had a slightly lower exact handicap.  I had 67 off the stick (5 over for the CCR of the day) for 43 points off 11. Thanks mostly to you and not forgetting your support team and Warrick Page, I have achieved my goal in 8 months.  A bit longer than I would have hoped but I had to get rid of a work related situation that was causing me a lot of stress.  So I was only able to apply all the innovative instructions you gave me from early December. Next is to stay in single figures and play to handicap at all courses.
Thanks once again and all the best for 2009.
Regards,
Grahame Hamilton

Ramsey,
It was a pleasure to meet you last week in Nashville, TN (actually in Franklin), to hear your presentation at the Phase III training and to share a glass of wine or two later that evening.
I have begun using your 5 minute golf warm up upon returning to California and it certainly gets me going in the morning independent of whether I am going to play golf.
I would like to obtain more information on the use of the spikey ball and begin incorporating some of those drills into my routine.  Would you be able to provide me with some drills?
We (my wife and I) enjoyed our evening with you and the other First Tee coaches at the hotel.  I hope that the rest of your travels are proceeding as expected.
Best regards,
Tom Worthy
