A four-foot missed putt in 1977 at the European Tour Qualifying School changed Martin Hall’s life forever. The miss excluded him from getting his Tour card but led him to a storied career in teaching the game he loves. Hall has been the director of golf instruction at The Club at Ibis for 23 years. This is where he is at home, at this golfer’s paradise complete with three Nicklaus family–designed courses and modern practice facilities. Golf Digest continually recognizes Hall as a top 10 instructor worldwide. In 2011, he began hosting his weekly, still-popular program—aptly called School of Golf—on the Golf Channel. His impressive résumé also includes coaching a major champion and producing instructional videos that are distributed worldwide. In addition to these pursuits, he is happiest when at Ibis. “There is truly no other place I’d rather be than on the range teaching at Ibis,” Hall says.
