December 6, 2008--It's common golf knowledge that Butch Harmon, who operates the Butch Harmon School of Golf at Las Vegas' Rio Secco Golf Club, keeps a lesson schedule filled with names such as Adam Scott, Phil Mickelson, Natalie Gulbis, Ernie Els, and a bunch of other top level tour pros. But what is missed sometimes is that Harmon also reaches out to everyday golfers via golf school clinics and/or corporate gigs. Such was the case recently when Harmon turned golf swing water into golf swing wine while entertaining at Rio Secco.

Harmon is about as good at entertaining the corporate set as he is at helping the world's best players get the most out of the game. Harmon was behind the swings of Greg Norman and Tiger Woods when they ascended to number one in the world, and at one time earlier this year he was the teacher for three of the top five players in the world. And luckily for Las Vegas golfers, Harmon has made his home in Las Vegas for about a decade, and is a fixture at Las Vegas golf events and other events around town, including the occasional UNLV Rebel basketball game. And he spends countless hours working with players at his school that is located at the end of the Rio Secco driving range.

The other two Las Vegas golf courses are Cascata and Las Vegas National Golf Club. Both the Rio Secco (click now for a Rio Secco video) and Cascata Las Vegas golf courses were designed by the esteemed Rees Jones and are stunning Las Vegas golf experiences. Las Vegas National Golf Club is 18 holes of historic Las Vegas golf located just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Rio Secco Golf Club is also the home of the world-famous T-Mates, lovely ladies who assist golfers during the round, making the Rio Secco experience even more exciting.

Las Vegas National Golf Club has hosted PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events, including the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational when Tiger Woods earned his first PGA Tour win. Las Vegas National is one of the most historic Las Vegas golf courses.

Harmon is part comedian, part pro, part psychologist and part truth-teller when he works the corporate crowd. He has no problem telling it like it is ("Don't listen to your playing partners about your swing because they don't know what they're talking about!"), or making the crowd the butt of a joke ("I watched you all on the range, so I know you have to have a lot of questions about the golf swing ..."). But through it all, he doles out pearls of golf swing wisdom at a dizzying pace.

"When you go back home and work on your swing, or take a lesson from your local PGA of America pro, swing in slow motion sometimes because you can really feel the parts of the swing when you slow it down," Harmon said to the group that was in town for National Finals Rodeo. Then he proceeded to hit a bevy of low shots, cut shots, high shots, slices and hooks on command before grabbing a guy from the audience and turning his ball flight from a nasty slice into a smooth draw. It was a trick that would've made Siegfried and Roy proud.

Harmon also told the group that getting through the ball is extremely important to having a solid game. "If you keep your body moving, then your hands will follow," Harmon said when talking about making a complete turn and finish in the golf swing.

About the Butch Harmon School of Golf from ButchHarmon.com: "We have an incredibly beautiful and challenging golf course designed by Rees Jones. We have indoor and outdoor practice areas along with a 90 yard short game hole. Our golf school has state-of-the-art computer and video equipment to help analyze your unique swing. Most important of all, we have a teaching philosophy that began with my father, Claude Harmon, and has been honed by my family and my associates ever since. It's the philosophy that's based on helping you understand your own unique game. Since the instruction is so individualized, it can work for players such as Tiger Woods, Darren Clarke and Mark Calcavecchia - all of whom have very different swings. It can also work for any amateur, at any age or level of ability, who is serious about improving his or her golf game."
