Alice grained valuable experience working with Head Professional David Ross, highly respected and the past president of the QPGA at Hotel LÉsterel Golf and Country Club, in St. Marguerite, just north of Montreal. During her employment with Dave Ross Alice also worked at Stowe Vermont, assisting at the Rolland Stafford Golf Academy, which soon opened another location at the Hotel LÉsterel.

This was actually one of the first golf schools to open at a well established resort such as Hotel LÉsterel. Alice was also very active in the ladies Pro Am hosted at the Golf Hotel Lesterel. This was the most participated and largest ladies tournament in the all of Canada and was founded by David Ross.

During the off season Alice attended every possible seminar given by the QPGA and USGTA, plus also participated in academies in Florida and California.

Alice was offered a teaching position at the private golf club in St. Therese, Hillsdale Golf and Country Club, where she worked concurrently for seven years, specializing in teaching. Hillsdale Golf and Country Club has a large and very active membership, generating lots of adult lessons for men and women, at the beginner, intermediate and expert level requiring intricate details for improvement. The junior program was designed with lots of enthusiasm for the children with learning as the key importance with a fun filled environment.

Several years later Alice created, designed and managed The Golf Teaching Center in Pointe Claire with six full swing areas, a contoured putting green and a sand bunker. This facility was then the first and only indoor facility in Montreal.

Alice is now available at the Kirkland Dome during winter and Harwood Golf Club during summer.

"The Golf Teaching Centre is a total learning facility for golf education, not just a 'golf swing' instructional school. The teaching encompasses not only the technical side of the game, but also stresses the importance of the physical and mental aspects of golf.

This holistic approach includes the importance of proper diet, exercise and mental condition for students of all abilities to build a lifelong game."
