PRLog (Press Release) –
May 14, 2008 – Desert Mirage Golf Course’s Director of Instruction, Sue Shapcott, will be a featured writer for Asia Golf Monthly and Inside the Gate magazines. Shapcott will be featured in the Instruction/Golf section providing tips to enhance a player’s game.
Shapcott’s first article in Asia Golf Monthly focuses on the importance of using clubs that fit the player. Shapcott says, “Playing with ill-fitting clubs is a surefire recipe for disaster. How can you expect to perform to your potential if you don’t have the most appropriate tools to help you?”
Shapcott’s debut article in Inside the Gate describes golf’s ascension from the 15th century to the 21st. Shapcott explains what aspects of golf have changed and the factors that have stayed the same during that time. Shapcott also provides information for readers who want to start playing, but are intimidated by their lack of experience.
When asked about the recent achievement of becoming a feature writer in Asia Golf Monthly and Inside the Gate Shapcott exclaims, “I enjoy helping golfers improve, and being able to communicate good written instruction is all part of that.“

Shapcott has been teaching in the US since 2000 and is currently a resident of Phoenix. As of January 2008, she calls Desert Mirage her home. Shapcott is a member of the British PGA with a playing background that includes being a member of the winning British Curtis Cup team in 1988 and holding various national championship titles of England, Wales, Britain, France and Belgium. As a professional, she competed as a fully exempt player on the Ladies European Tour and Asian Tour, Shapcott played in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand during the early 1990s.

Her instruction stresses the need to identify cause and effect in the golf swing. Paul McGinley, a three-time European Ryder Cup player, has been quoted saying, “I have known Sue for 20 years and watched her transition from a great player to a great teacher. She is one of my trusted sources of knowledge.”
