Instruction Methodology

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that the game can be played by anyone who has the time and patience to gather core information. With the use of visual aides and a coach who shares the same passion as the player, all of your goals are attainable. The following pictures and information will help you to reach the final goal of impact!

The starting position has the right shoulder lower than the left, the right elbow bent, and the hands in the middle of the body.   This is the impact position, which consists of a flat left wrist, bent right wrist, bent right elbow, and right elbow in front of the right hip are all present at a solid strike.

LEARNING

"Your instructor can't make you a great player, but he can instruct you how to learn how to play better golf." I will teach you to learn the fundamentals and then by careful practice adapt them to your individuality.

COMMUNICATE!

You will be coming to me for help with your golf swing and your game management. It will greatly help me if you ask questions. Let me know immediately if you do not understand what I am saying or that you do not have the "feel" of the swing.

DRILLS

Practice the drills given to you until you can achieve the results we need. You strengthen swing fundamentals by precisely practicing drills tailored to correct your swing faults. This is usually the fastest path to meaningful change.

PERSEVERE

Never combat one error with another, but rather eliminate the error. Suffer the discomfort until it is no longer uncomfortable and then by perseverence and determination you will find comfort in the new habit.

PRACTICE

I expect you to practice and work on the "keys" you are learning. The more effort you apply, the better results you can expect.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER A LESSON?

If you are not tired do some of the following

1) Hit some balls, practicing only your lesson keys.
2) Practice your swing, forget ball flight results.
3) Practice with clubs you used in your lesson.
4) Practice where you can concentrate without being disturbed.
5) Practice on the course by yourself. If you are tired do not continue hitting golf shots. Make your own notes expressing your feelings in

your own way and words. Remember, it is the quality of practice that counts, not the quantity of balls you hit!

PLAYING AFTER THE LESSON

If you must play after a lesson it would be better if you:

1) Don't use a scorecard.
2) Don't play under pressure situations, until you have perfected your new technique. Remember, under pressure you will usually return

to the old comfortable swing, especially if you do not get immediate results from the new swing thoughts.

3) Tell playing partners you are working on a new method and you may be off your game, but that you will enjoy their company! Give your

new method a fair chance.

DO LESSONS REALLY HELP?

Lessons can make the game ten times more enjoyable. They can help you to reach your potential skill level. Lessons will give you a clear understanding of your swing, its strengths and weaknesses. Then you can really begin to enjoy the great game of golf!
