FRED SHRINER
USGTF Level III Member, Kennett Square, Virginia

Fred Shriner purchased his first golf instruction book, Swing Easy – Hit Hard, by Julius Boros, when he was ten years old. Since then, Fred has built an extensive library of more than 250 golf instruction books and videos. Fred is a self-described “compulsive student of the same of golf.”

He says, “The more I learn about the golf swing and golf equipment, the more intrigued I become about this endless learning experience.”

After running his own telecommunications company for 25 years, Fred became a USGTF Level III golf teaching professional in 2005. He operates the Brandywine Valley Golf Improvement Center at the Tee Time at Ten driving range in Oxford, Pennsylvania. He conducts classroom and on-the-tee golf instruction for individuals and groups using the latest technology, which includes a Dual Sony camera video system with an “on-the-tee” widescreen laptop for immediate student feedback. He utilizes the V1 Pro swing analysis software (same as used by major instruction centers and college golf programs). Fred loves to help others get more enjoyment out of the game, saying, “Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing my students improve and sharing the enjoyment they get when they make good contact with the ball.”

As a master clubfitter, Fred also uses technology which includes a Zelocity ball launch monitor, GolfTek Pro III swing analyzer with GolfTek ProGraphics 3 software, and Wishon Golf Technology trajectory and ball flight software to perform his fittings. Fred’s facility is a “Recognized Mitchell Club Repair Shop,” which provides professional club building, measurement, adjustments and repairs using the industry’s finest equipment, including the Mitchell Steel Club Plus loft and lie machine, Mitchell Tour Gage putter machine, Mitchell digital shaft frequency meter, and other equipment (same as used by the PGA Tour vans).

Fred can be reached at 484-356-3569 or e-mail fshriner@golfforme.com.
