THE YOUNGER YEARS - E.A. Tischler grew up in Northern California and was introduced to golf at the age of 9 by his father. From the first day his father took him to the driving range he had a thirst of the game. Self-taught, he read hundreds of books studying all aspects of the game. He honed his skills to a high enough level to play in college where he ultimately become the #1 player for UC San Diego.
TURNING PROFESSIONAL - Though he turned professional in 1989, his roots in coaching began by meeting Fred Shoemaker who become his mentor in coaching through the Inner Game of Golf and later Fred's Extraordinary Golf approach to the game. As a player he won 30+ professional tournaments, set 24 course records, made 10 hole-in-ones, two double eagles, and achieved a +5.4 handicap.
THE NEW HORIZONS GOLF APPROACH - After experiencing a career ending injury in 1992, E.A. turned his focus over to coaching. Although he had already been working on writing some golf instructional books he would spend the next 8 years honing his craft and published more than 28 books, ultimately achieving the 28 self-published books to date. Along the way he's invented and patented training aids and completed a ton of research that has help advance many of the topics and techniques that are widely used in the game today. Many of those techniques are in the area of biomechanics.
BEYOND NEW HORIZONS GOLF - E.A.'s contributions in biomechanics are highlighted in his Partnership with Mike Adams in BioSwing Dynamics, which they co-founded together in 2009. Though E.A. had already published much of his research before partnering up with Mike Adams, the two of them advanced many of the concepts commonly used in biomechanics coaching. Mike decided to split off and work with Terry Rowles in what they now call The Ultimate Golf Lesson. E.A. continues to provide all his research and coaching techniques through the New Horizons Golf Approach, his Making Your Golf Simple website, and with BioSwing Coaching educations.. Currently E.A. Tischler is the Director of Instruction for Olympia Fields CC, located south of Chicago, which has hosted many Majors and rooted in a rich history of golf.
