Golf workshop at Meadows features K-Vest inventor

Michael Bentley, inventor of the instructional golf tool K-Vest, will host a two-day workshop at the Meadows on Grand Valley State University's Allendale Campus on Friday and Saturday, August 24-25.

Bentley, founder of Bentley Kinetics of Bedford, New Hampshire, will join local teaching professional Scot Dowling to demonstrate the Kinetic Swing System. The K-(Kinetic) Vest worn by a golfer electronically relays swing data to a computer monitor.

Dowling is Michigan's first golf professional to gain Kinetic Swing Certification. He said the vest has greatly helped improve his students’ swings. "This system and the K-Vest have greatly simplified my teaching and allowed my students to quickly grasp their swing’s strengths and faults," he said. "As an added plus, this system provides an individual workout program that reduces the chance of injury on one’s body."

The workshop is limited to the first 24 registrants. Cost is $400; the workshop will run from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. each day. Call 616-889-8682 or send an e-mail to [email protected] to register.
