Ask anyone who knows Mark Evershed, especially his students, and the following words may be used to describe him: exceptional teacher, great player, inventor, motivator, relationship builder, inspiration, listener, and friend.
Those words are just the tip of the iceberg for the 2005 Canadian PGA Teaching Professional of the Year, who was judged on a wide array of criteria ranging from innovative teaching techniques to instructional articles, videos or promotion.

\\u201cI was very honoured when I received the phone call that I had won the Teacher of the Year award,\\u201d mentioned Evershed. \\u201cMore now than ever, people are starting to recognize the importance of teaching and I am very excited to be a part of that.\\u201d

As a teacher, Evershed\\u2018s philosophy relies on \\u201clong term relationships.\\u201d After studying the philosophies of greats such as Homer Kelly and Persey Boomer, Evershed created his own unique teaching style based on the premise that knowledge, rather than muscle memory, is the path to success and that a lack of success comes from incorrect understandings as opposed to lack of ability.

From that premise evolved Evershed\\u2019s theory on the golf swing called \\u201cT.G.S. Method to Better Golf\\u201d, a teaching system consisting of CDs, books and practice devices to help golfers understand and execute the swing.

By adopting his theory, he is confident that students will be successful if they understand the mechanics and sequence of the swing. Evershed has invested a considerable amount of time into teaching and documenting his teaching philosophies. He invented numerous devices to support his theory including
\\u201cThe Power Click\\u201d, \\u201cWeight Shift Monitor\\u201d, \\u201cThe Sequence Tube\\u201d, \\u201cLaser Club\\u201d, and the \\u201cMagic Triangle & Ball Position Indicator\\u201d. An author of two books (\\u201cThe Canadian Move- Right Handed and Left Handed\\u201d and \\u201cThe Six Minute Golf Swing\\u201d), Evershed has been a feature and contributing writer for Ontario Golf Magazine, is the co-host of \\u201cThe Golf Report
\\u201d on Sportsnet TV, has been a regular on The Fan 590 and 680 News radio shows in Toronto, and was the featured instructor on The Golf Channel\\u2019s \\u201cAcademy Live\\u201d. Even further, Evershed has created seven instructional videos and a collection of 12 CDs on all aspects of the game.

\\u201cI wake up every morning and try to improve the way I teach because I\\u2019m possessed by it,\\u201d Evershed said. \\u201cAll of my time is put into improving myself and getting better at what I do.\\u201d
