About the Author:
Dan Blevins is a graduate of Earlham College (Richmond, Indiana)
with a degree in Biology, and California State University (Fullerton, Calif.) with a
degree in psychology. A four-sport varsity letterer in college (track, cross-country,
baseball, and golf), the four years that he played varsity golf sparked the
beginings of his intense interest and search to develop a golf system that would
allow him to consistently play at his best. An avid reader, he used his knowledge
in human anatomy/physiology, psychology, and movement studies, to finally piece-together
the system that he had been looking for all those years. During his senior year in college, Dan was the recipient of the Wendel M. Stanley Senior-Scholar Athlete Award, named after the the school's 1946 Nobel Prize winner; the condition was having a 3.4 GPA, or higher, and significant participation in Intercollegiate athletics(link).
A resident of Anaheim, California, he has worked both in business
and as a teacher in the Anaheim Union High School District while teaching such subjects as Chemistry, AP Physics, and advanced math. As a substitute
teacher, he had the unbelievable coincidence of having Tiger Woods in many classes
when Tiger attended Orangeview Junior High and Western High School which are
both in the Anaheim Union High School District.
His father, Harold Blevins, was born in Topeka, Kansas, and is a (2nd) cousin of 5-time British Open winner, Tom Watson, through his grandmother whose last name was also Watson. Dan modeled his putting stroke after Watson's, which produces deftly accurate results, and he describes it as being like a person with a "modern, high-precision, scoped rifle versus others who are using 18th Century muskets." |
