“When it comes to acuity Owen is rarely matched, an active listener and avid learner he is always looking to make himself better. Part of teaching is knowing when to listen and when to impart knowledge and have an understanding that there is always room for growth. He truly gets it and that helps to make him a great teacher of the game and builder of character. To say he is willing to travel the world to teach the game is figuratively and literally true.”
