1995: Heartland Golf Schools originated in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Founder, Ed LeBeau, implemented his vision to make golf fun and easy to learn by making sure students learn with a principle-oriented curriculum. Based on the teachings of Manuel de la Torre, Ed LeBeau created a process of learning golf that has been recognized internationally.

1996: Tony Meechai was fortunate to have trained under the direction of these two teachers. Ed LeBeau guided and mentored Tony into a Heartland Certified Instructor.
