The Heart of Golf is beating in The Maritimes and at it’s centre is
the newest sensation in golf; Parmasters Golf Training Centers
Halifax-Dartmouth, Canada’s first indoor golf training center of
its kind. From Moe to Munn, to Stewart, Webb & Weir, golf in Canada
owes a great deal to the legacies etched out of a not so forgiving
field of play on the world stage. These and many more successful
Canadian Golfers & their Associations have created the roots for
the new northern game. Many Canadians inspired by these legacies
and intrigued by the game of golf are in search of a place to learn
about this game and in this spirit; Parmasters of Halifax-Dartmouth
is swinging open its doors to interested students, duffers, fitness
buffs and like-minded golf enthusiasts. Picture yourself walking
through the front doors of your own golf club where thousands of
golf courses are just a turn of the dial away, in one of the 6 golf
simulators inside. You go for a workout in the fitness center and
then settle into a comfy chair, with a group of friends beside a
4000sq. foot putting green, you’re having a putting contest and
it’s your turn to putt. Parmasters allows for an easy transition
for gym membership holders to its spacious facilities. Whether you
use Parmasters to get your daily exercise, chip for a while, host a
conference, or birthday party, or learn to play, you will be amazed
at how supportive and fun golf instruction inside of a Parmasters
Golf Training Center can be. Best selling author, entrepreneur
coach, and experienced public speaker Tom Matzen, is President &
CEO of this new Golf Training Franchise and with 68 franchises
pending and awarded world-wide. His focus is on developing the East
Coast of Canada first along with Canadian Regional Franchisor Andre
Ferris. “Golf is well established all over Canada,” Matzen says but
it’s difficult to ignore the massive public support we have felt
from the Maritimes… golfers want us around. “ The first Parmasters
franchise opened in Memphis, Tennessee in May 2006 and the second
in Guangzhou, China opens this October. With construction already
underway in Halifax-Dartmouth, the race is on and looks like lucky
Haligonians will be the first through the doors in Canada and St.
Johns is poised to be next! Having helped others open and expand
over 200 businesses, Tom Matzen further expands the Parmasters
Franchise along side of US PGA Master Teacher Scott Hazledine. This
dynamic team has incorporated Scott’s “Straight-Line Golf” Training
Method into the Parmasters Brand and for lucky golfers this means a
25% reduction in handicap, guaranteed! Also, owning your own
Parmasters Franchise is as simple as two foot putt and the
Parmasters Team Headquarters, Regional Franchisors and Area
Development Owners have created a golf training facility that is
sure to catch any entrepreneur’s interest, not just those whom
already play the game like a touring pro. As if in secret,
Parmasters Golf Training Centers has been in development for the
past six and a half years. Every aspect of what it takes a
franchisee to be profitable has been meticulously groomed into the
pages of the Parmasters Operations Manuals leaving nothing to
chance. Golf industry experts are standing up and taking notice, as
Parmasters ramps up its roll-out strategies, one of which is to
take the company public on NASDAQ in early 2007. Regular folks in
love with the game of golf are surprised to find a future for them
in the golf industry, with the ease of ownership available in this
truly turn-key golf business. Parmasters Golf Training Centers are
fun to operate, highly profitable and very satisfying to own. Just
walk into any golf pro-shop these days and look at how large the
section for golf training aids, books and gimmicks has become.
Golfers are becoming frustrated with the cost of learning to play
and 2 million of them are leaving the game each year as a result.
Traditional lessons are difficult to practice because they rely so
heavily on timing. Parmasters separates instruction from practice
and practice from play, with a focus on the principle that ‘perfect
practice makes perfect,’ and endlessly beating balls at a driving
range can only hinder a players success and enjoyment of the game.
No matter where in the world a member of Parmasters goes, they are
instructed within the philosophies of the Straight-Line Golf
Teaching Method. Gone are the days of players taking lessons from a
golf facility whose teaching staff changes from year to year and
thusly, so does the teaching methodology. Grant Gray, A Class
Director of Golf and Canadian PGA Head Professional from Mayfair
Lakes in Richmond, British Columbia boasts, “this is the real deal,
every aspect of the Parmasters strategy has been well thought out
and they ensure a seamless transition for the franchise owner as
they are handed the keys to owning their own golf company”.
