A decorated three-time All American at the University of Georgia, Chip Beck played the PGA TOUR from 1979 through 2000 and then the Champions Tour for 10 years. He played on three Ryder Cup teams (securing 6.5 points for the U.S. team), recorded three runner-up finishes in majors, once at The Masters and twice the U.S. Open. Beck stood in the winner\u2019s circle at the Los Angeles Open and USF&G Class in 1988, the 1990 Buick Open and the 1992 Freeport-McMoRan Classic.

At the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational, Beck became only the second player (at the time) to record a sub-60 round, firing a blistering 59 on the strength of 13 birdies. Beck helped establish the Chip Beck Scholarship in 1992 with the $1 million bonus paid by Hilton Hotels after he shot the 59. Dozens of students have earned the scholarships, which are based on academics, extracurricular activities, caddying and interest in golf. The Chip Beck\/PGA Evans Scholarship was established in 1994 in cooperation with the PGA of America and has also benefited dozens of deserving college-bound juniors nationwide.

How and why did you get involved with PerfectMotion?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I had been working with on my own game with Dr. Jim Suttie for 20 years. Doc is a genius and changed golf instruction in America to focus on matching elements and body types. Based on Doc\u2019s mentorship, I had been trying to find a way to get into instruction and fortunately PerfectMotion opened the door through a friend of mine and fellow coach, Tim Tierney.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n


Prior to your involvement with Perfect Motion how much actual teaching were you doing?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ve been doing clinics and outings for years, but had not established a base of students to teach on a regular basis. PerfectMotion is the ideal way to grow my teaching business.
