Marty Fleckman credits Byron Nelson and Jim Hardy for contributing to his success in golf. In 1964, Fleckman won the Texas State Amateur Championship, and in 1965 he won the NCAA individual championship while attending the University of Houston. A member of the United States Walker Cup team in 1967, Marty is one of only four players in the history of the PGA Tour to win his first tour event. In 1986 he was inducted into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame.
Fleckman is currently a PGA teaching professional endorsed by Jim Hardy, author of "The Plane Truth for Golfers," to teach the one- plane and two-plane swing concepts. He was named the Teacher of the Year for the Southern Texas Section of the PGA in 2007. His Web site is at www.martyfleckmangolf.com.
