Ian Clark is the Director of Golf at the New Malden site for the World of Golf in Surrey, England. The company owns and operates 3 driving ranges in the United Kingdom, the largest such operation in England. Ian was awarded the Golf Stroke Engineering Bachelor (GSEB) certification from The Golfing Machine LLC in February 2006 and is currently one of only two Authorized Instructors in England.
Ian's study of The Golfing Machine began on one of his trips to the States when he vowed to study the country's best instructors 'up close and personal.' He kept hearing references to The Golfing Machine, and in his efforts to understand Mr. Kelley's masterpiece further, he has visited with such TGM notables as Joe Daniels, Chuck Evans, Chuck Cook, Martin Hall and Lynn Blake.
Ian recently visited Lynn in Atlanta and spent a couple of fog-lifting days in 'The Swamp.' As part of a select group of British PGA professionals., he also participated in Lynn's intensive Instructor Training Workshop in Bremen, Germany.
Bill Castner has been teaching and coaching golf professionally for over 30 years. Bill is recognized by the Professional Golf Association as an instrustor who earned specialty certification in golf instruction.
Bill began playing golf as a teenager and was fortunate enough to have been taught by many great teachers including Tom Strafaci, Carl Lohren and Mike Hebron. A chance meeting with Tom Tomasselli in 1978 began Bill's interest in the Golf Machine. Bill is currently studying with Lynn Blake and recently was fit for Henry Griffith's clubs by Jeff Hull.
In 1983, Bill earned his Class A membership into the Professionals Golfers Association (PGA). Bill has served as Head Professional at various courses in New York and New Jersey, including the Golf Club at Mansion Ridge, Colts Neck Golf Club, LaTourette Golf Course, Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course, and the Randalls Island Golf Practice Center.
He is also a member of the New Jersey PGA Junior Committee and a former instructor with the National PGA Junior Golf Academy. Bill has coached many talented junior golfers helping to bring their games to a level that will prepare them for collegiate golf.
Bill's personal teaching philosophy is to take the strengths of each person's swing and mold them into a repeating and natural motion. Bill believes that there is no such thing as "The Swing," however there is a "BEST" swing that will work for each individual. By developing the golf fundamentals, each student will find their best golf swing. This swing will produce a consistent ball flight. Bill's commitment to his students is to assist them in maximizing their enjoyment of the great game of golf!

Drew graduated from nationally-ranked Division 2 Bryant University in 1984, where he teamed with former PGA Tour Player Jim Hallet. He began his golf career as a teaching professional at Fall River Country Club, Fall River, Massachusetts under Head PGA Professional Tom Tetrault, winner of the PGA's Bill Strausbaugh Award and the Golf Digest National Junior Golf Promoter of The Year Award. After accepting the Head Professional position at Highland CC, Drew went on to become the President, Director of Education and Junior Golf Chairman for the Rhode Island PGA.
An avid collector of golf antiquities, he has collected well over one thousand books on the game of golf. In a frenzied search to distill the common threads of great golf literature, he discovered The Golfing Machine in 1986. “Every book that I had ever studied was in there; right between the two yellow covers. I realized then that some methods held up better than others, but a method could not be applied to everyone. There was no 'The Way.'” He has been studying and teaching TGM ever since and believes that combining geometry and physics, as presented in The Golfing Machine, in a fun learning environment will change a student’s game and life forever! The results speak for themselves.
