Aegean Airlines, a member of Star Alliance, is Greece’s largest airline providing at its inception in 1999 until today, full service, premium quality short and medium haul services.
On 23rd October 2013 AEGEAN acquired Olympic Air; as a result passengers now have increased flight frequencies and connections as well as improved accessibility to Greece’s islands, including some of the more remote, both for visitors and Greeks alike. Total traffic of both companies reached 10,1m passengers in 2014. AEGEAN invests on strengthening its international presence and on supporting the Greek tourism both in Athens and in regional airports. The company´s summer 2015 timetable includes a network of 134 destinations, 100 international in 45 countries and 34 domestic, with 15,400,000 available seats, i.e. 2,4 million more seats than in 2014. The flights will be performed with one of the youngest fleets in Europe, comprising 58 aircraft, after AEGEAN´s recent investment in new additional Airbus A320ceos. The flight increase will be more intensive in 2015 from the main base of Athens, but shall also cover activities from other 8 bases of the company ( Heraklion, Rhodes, Corfu, Chania, Kos, Kalamata, Thessaloniki & Larnaca). AEGEAN has been honored with the Skytrax World Airline award, as the best European regional airline for 2015. It is the sixth time that the company has received this distinction, the previous being in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and in 2014.
Aegean Airlines has been strongly committed to supporting the development of Golf in Greece and has been successfully organizing, since 2006, the international golf tournament “Aegean Airlines Pro-Am”, which has established itself as one of the most important golf events both in Greece and abroad. Furthermore, Aegean Airlines, is officially named as the “Preferred Airline of the Confederation of Professional Golf”, the “Major Sponsor and Official Carrier” of the PGA of Greece and the “Official Air Carrier” of the Hellenic Golf Federation and the Cyprus Golf Federation respectively.

Our mission at Curious Coaches is to provide actionable insights to other insatiable learners and curious practitioners. There are a ton of great sources online that provide information on the ever-evolving science of coaching golf. At Curious Coaches, our aim is to provide useful information on the art of coaching while revealing useful ways to marry those concepts with the science of coaching golf.
In that pursuit, inevitably we cover topics relating to the business and technical topics that may be relevant to the modern golf coach, but the art is our true focus.
And the content is produced for a pretty specific niche of coaches. It’s for passionate learners and seekers of new discoveries and challenges. And for those that actively seek depth of knowledge and experience. Those are the people that inspire us and whom we hope to reciprocate back a little inspiration through this site. If that sounds like you, you’re the ideal reader.
How will our students perform better when it counts and how can we better facilitate lasting learning? Most of the content here is designed to answer those questions.
There are plenty of places to debate the technical minutia of the golf swing on the interwebs, this just isn’t one of them. We would rather explore ways to support our students and grow meaningful relationships as we assist them in achieving their performance goals. We are on a constant search for more effective ways to do that and hope to provide the Curious Coaches readers with actionable concepts to explore for their own application.
We post twice a month, with a few bonus posts mixed in every once and a while. To receive updates on new posts, fill in your email below. You can also subscribe to the Curious Coaches RSS or follow on @CuriousCoaches Twitter.

David Kearney is a member of the Professional Golfers Association and has enjoyed a distinguished career as a teaching professional and mentor to many professional and amateur golfers.
David began his playing career at Claremorris Golf club in Co.Mayo, in the west of Ireland and would soon move to The Royal County Down golf club where he began his apprenticeship under the watchful eye of Kevan Whitson. His passion for coaching was further fuelled by watching Kevan teach and handle pupils of varying levels.
2010 saw David take up his current post at Grange Golf Club in Dublin. Home of 2014 Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley, Grange and David have worked diligently to improve coaching available to its members and in particular the implementation of a strong junior programme has been one of the major successes in the last 3 years. In 2010 for example the club had 1 girl U-18 years with a handicap and today they have 12 U-16 girls with a Handicap of 35 or less. Similar progress has been made on the boy’s side and part of David’s remit as a representative of the PGA and ILGU is to encourage similar progress at his fellow professional’s club when he speaks at various workshops and training days.
David has been involved in disabled golf with his student Charlie Gannon being the poster boy for what can be achieved. Charlie was very ill in hospital with meningitis in 2010 and lost his left arm from the elbow down, fingers on his right hand and portions of his feet. In his hospital bed, Charlie announced his preferred choice for his new clubs in spite of his condition and we are happy to report 4 years on with the aid of a “Tropman Grip” which replaces his left arm, he has his new clubs and is playing off a 17 handicap in his home club, Castlebar, Co.Mayo.
In a career full of ups and downs, David is very happy in his chosen career and his main professional interest continues to be improving himself and those around him.

ETPI was developed by the European Tour’s medical & performance services team to allow golfers of all abilities to make use of the knowledge that has been amassed by the Tour’s performance and medical practicioners over the past 20 years using data from the best players in the world.
“We work at a very select end of the world of golf where we’re fortunate to be working with at the leading edge of everything that’s going on, but there’s a broad base of people that underpin that and we believe that everyone can benefit from these concepts,” explains ETPI Physio unit Director Rob Hillman.
“Globally as an organisation we really want to grow the game and we want to do what we can to support that. For example, bringing our skills and experience to bear at events like this and giving the day-to-day teaching Pros some insight into what we do is great, and we hope give them some useful tools to take away which I think is a very important part of our role.”

OnCourse® Programme
The benefits of sustainability for golf businesses are beyond question, the hold-up has been simply where and how to start. In part, because of misconceptions that sustainability must first require study, policy writing and a vast amount of planning. That doesn’t need to be the case. Today there are a few practical tools available that can take the guesswork and hassle out of sustainability.
A good place to dive in is OnCourse®, a free web-based programme that guides you step-by-step, asking the right questions about the key sustainability hotspots around your course, clubhouse, and maintenance facility. OnCourse® will help you tell the story of the good work you’re already doing and enable you to improve; saving time and money, enhancing the natural qualities of your course, and boosting your reputation. Rather than spending a lot of time in discussions, drafting a detailed policy or developing a sustainability plan, your focus can be on actions that bring immediate benefit.
OnCourse® serves as your policy and plan – a statement of your commitment, and the path to accessing all the benefits sustainability can bring. And, if you would like to, you can use your OnCourse® report to qualify you for GEO Certified®, golf’s international ecolabel and a great platform for communications and publicity.
The programme is free, widely endorsed and only takes a few minutes to sign up at www.golfenvironment.org/oncourse.

Golf in the Life of exists to educate and serve golf instructors and coaches all over the world.
As golf instruction has exploded over the past decades there has been a lack of support and education to help the thousands of teachers who attempt to not only help students get better but run their own businesses.
I just wanted to say thank you. Your interviews have completely changed my commute to and from the course. My mind gets sharpened by listening to your interviews and thank you for asking such great questions. I am learning from the instructors answers but also how to ask great questions. Keep up the great work!
Garrett
Let’s get real. There are more people struggling to make $20,000 in a year than those trying to figure out how to get over the 6 figure mark. Here’s the problem with that… $20,000 simply isn’t enough to support a family with, causing more and more instructors to leave and find a new career.
And if more quality instructors and coaches leave the game that means golf is going to remain stale and continue to decrease in popularity.
Golf in the Life of’s mission is two fold. The first to help teachers understand how to be more effective in getting results for students and secondly to be more efficient in their businesses, spending less time and making more money.
We believe that no one person has all the answers so we’ve been interviewing the best and some of the most innovative coaches in the game over the past handful of years so each teacher can find their own beliefs and ideas.
If you ever asked yourself questions like:
- “How do the best become the best?”
- “What kind of actions do I need to take to increase PROFIT?”
- “What kind of programs work for students and my time?”
- “What do I do to become a top 100 instructor?”
…You’re in the RIGHT place!
Golf in the Life of is dedicated to bringing high quality business, teaching, and coaching information to golf instructors and golf coaches all over the world.

The Golf Science Lab is going to document the truth about golf and bring you the research directly from the scientists and researchers.
We’re talking about all aspects of golf science.
#1 – So you can learn what’s really going on in an entertaining way
#2 – So you can get better results in your game by going to the source.
That’s why we’re talking with academics and researchers and having that be the core of what we do. And then bring in coaches and instructors that understand how to practically apply the research to every day life.

Train Ugly is the marriage of two concrete foundations of learning: motor learning and growth mindset. We’re going to dive into the science and share these incredibly important principles with you. From there we’ll work together to put these principles into action.
There is a major gap between what the science says about learning and development and the way that most of us approach coaching – it’s our mission to change that.
Growth Mindset
Research pioneered by Stanford Professor, Carol Dweck showing that our mindset and approach to learning have the biggest impact on our development and future success.
Motor Learning
The study of how people learn and develop skill through practice. The science reveals a number of flaws in the “traditional” approach to skill development.
Train Ugly
Applying these principles to practice will create a little chaos, confusion, and ugliness. But they will also help to develop better, more well rounded players who are prepared to perform when it matters most, in a game.

U.S. Kids Golf, LLC was started in 1996 as a solution to the problem its founder, Dan Van Horn, experienced when trying to get his children, ages 5 and 8, into golf. “They were enthusiastic at first, but their interest quickly dropped. They weren’t having fun,” Van Horn recalls. At the time, I didn’t realize that cutoffs and junior clubs were so heavy; they were not only hurting my kids’ swings, but also their desire to play.”
That’s when the former golf professional and engineer began developing Ultralight kids clubs, which were designed to be 25% lighter than adult and most junior clubs, and he formed the company, U.S. Kids Golf. Since then, parents and pros around the world have seen the incredible difference that lightweight and correctly fit clubs have made in their young player’s swing and enthusiasm for the game. Today, the company is the world’s leading provider of equipment.
