Al Owens extensive expert background on golf instruction/coaching has evolved into his creation of several dynamic avenues for any golfer to make tremendous improvement in their golf game and return fun to the golf course once again while they play!
Known for his “pioneer approach” for inner golf awareness and development, Al Owens’ 22 year PGA Professional career is also accentuated by authored books, public speaking and seminar presentations and his specialized Golfer Inner Development Coaching Programs.
A Center for Golf and Personal Advancement
Al Owens’ Center For Golf and Personal Advancement was created to unveil to each golfer, YOU, the inner tools you have available to you to create the golf game you truly desire. As a 20 year PGA member Al Owens viewed golfers of all levels try to achieve a better game week in and week out. After teaching thousands of students it became clear to Al that each persons inner self was the key to unlocking any golfers true potential.
Al then began his research on how the inner self works and how your soul blends with your mind to create the desires you have in you game of golf and life also. He began by attending Psychology of Playing workshops from the PGA and was introduced to Dr. Rick Jensen a Sports Psychologist who he began to learn from.
Beyond this background Al also consulted Dr. Deepak Chopra who authored the book Golf for Enlightenment. Al attended several workshops with Dr. Chopra including his Golf for Enlightenment Coaching Seminar. In addition Al has worked with many other inner development teachers and researched hundreds of books,videos and seminars to develop his level of knowledge and expertise in showing golfers how they are actually creating their golf games and how to improve on their methods and of course implement better ones.
As you can see, besides his PGA background, Al’s life has been inspired to research and discover the MANY avenues in which people create things in their lives. In 2007 Al was inspired to create Al Owens Golf - A Center for Golf and Personal Advancement and thus develop his Alcero Method™ of golf instruction.
Creator of The Alcero Method
Al Owens’ career desires led him to discover the possibilities life has and the concepts that resonate within individuals to create and manifest their ideas and desires for their golf games and lives.
Thus Al decided to ”Break the Mold” of traditional golf instruction with his new inspiring approach to golf instruction, The Alcero Method.
Beyond his Alcero Method, Al Owens’ Five Secrets To Manifesting Your Best Golf Game teaching curriculum show each golfer the multiple areas to consider in creating your golf game. As a golfer you probably were introduced to the game through only one area such as the technical parts of the swing that are needed to create a good golf game. However as Al suggests, there are 5 areas that create your game, not just one!
These five are the Mental, Physical, Emotional, Technical/Equipment and finally your Approach/ Strategy.

Al’s 20 year partnership with the PGA of America and expert teaching background catapulted him to the position of Lead Master Instructor for Resort Golf(now the PGA Tour Academy) in Arizona.

He then continued his golf instruction when he was named Lead Master Instructor for Resort Golf at Legend Trail Golf Club in Scottsdale, AZ. His extensive teaching of students of all levels for several years began his momentum to finding a total teaching platform to work from which included the many aspects of ones golf game besides just the mechanical ones used to instruct his 1, 3 or 5 day golf schools.
