The Golf Doctor Treats Crowds In Germany
World Renowned Trick Shot Artist Endorses SeaDwarf™

ESTERO, FL (September 20, 2005): Mike “The Golf Doctor” Calbot, who endorses SeaDwarf™ Seashore Paspalum as a player-friendly turfgrass for use on golf courses, once again wowed spectators at a European PGA Tour event.

A world-renowned golf trick shot artist and golf instructor based in Estero, Florida, Calbot recently returned from the Linde German Masters, a European PGA Tour event held near Köln in Germany, where his trick shot shows served to entertain the gallery at the tournament.

“It is always exciting and I am honored to be part of major PGA Tour events in Europe,” Calbot said. This was Calbot’s third appearance at the Linde German Masters. Earlier this year, Calbot was a featured entertainer at the BMW Asian Open in Shanghai, China.

During his exhibition, Calbot demonstrated his signature golf trick shots——such as hitting a golf ball standing on one leg while balancing on a chair and hitting a golf ball while kneeling. Calbot’s performances were widely covered in the German press. The event was held September 8th – 11th.

While in Germany, Calbot held several golf clinics for German golfers and VIP guests of the title sponsor, Linde.

Known as “The Golf Doctor,” Calbot has hosted a golf tip show on WINK-TV, a southwest Florida CBS-TV affiliate, for more than 25 years and has been performing his unique brand of golf trick-shot theatrics for more than two decades. His Golf & Trick Shot Exhibition has been seen in more than 50 countries.

The Mike Calbot International Golf Studio offers clinics, seminars, lectures, schools and golf travel trips through the studio at Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club in Estero, Florida, as well as at schools in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, which are arranged during the summer months.

Calbot’s more than 30 years of teaching experience as a swing analyst, instructor and world renowned professional golf trick shot artist has made him one of the most sought-after professionals in golf today. Calbot frequently works with PGA, LPGA, Senior and European tour players. He has personally trained more than 25 men and women who are now class “A” members of the PGA and LPGA.

Calbot endorses SeaDwarf™ Seashore Paspalum, a premium turfgrass for golf courses that produces a highly playable greens surface with virtually no grain yet requires less water and less fertilizer than bermudagrass. SeaDwarf™ is available from Environmental Turf, a worldwide marketer of environmentally friendly turfgrasses.
