I have been challenged for what I do in golf instruction


Why am I stepping into a "fire of controversy" that awaits me? Oh yes! I have been challenged for what I do in golf instruction. But, I know something new! It brought me golf students from outside the local area where I set up shop to teach local golfers. There are a number of nearby Golf Pros offering their services. Some of my students had taken lessons from these Pros in the past. But, they came to me to learn some missing elements in golf instruction. In my first year I taught 115 registered students an average of 5 lessons each. As word spread of my teaching, golfers of various levels came to me for 1 to 3 lessons. There were less than 10 registered students in the previous year.
No golf Pro was available in that town. I said to people, "I can do that." I got involved to fill the gap. I am a teacher, more specifically, a teacher of athletics. I have patience. I was what a lot of people wanted for their first try at learning to golf or fix some problems with their current golf game. I made a lot of money for nearby golf businesses by starting people into golf with an enthusiastic desire to enjoy being on golf outings with their friends and families. I have no intention of becoming "the great wizard" of something new in golf instruction. But, here I am! Giving you a new way of learning how to play golf which simply gets beginners learning how to do a good golf swing very fast. Many of these people just want to be able to get a few good golf hits at the company "beer and food" celebration type of scramble golf tournament. A number of my students have come back to me saying that they "had a hoot" at their company Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons tournament. They met new business clients, they met new friends, they found a new way to drink beer and swallow kaviar (whoops!), or whatever. They were there because somebody (like me) gave them some golf lessons which sent them on the way to enjoy their company party. And, because they were new to golf they had to look into getting some golf equipment and find places to golf. The result? The golf pros, who did not get the lesson money, got other golf related expenses from these new golfers. I toiled at this for about $10.00 per hour just to see wonderful people of all ages get a gentle start into an activity which I have a great passion for. I am happy that I got involved. I am content that I came up with some new ideas to teach golf to people who want to quickly learn if they can hit a golf ball some of the time like those great golfers we see on television. Surprising Techniques For your early interest I do teach a putting method which is a miniature version of the full swing and almost every other swing in-between. How simple golf can be if you can practice putting and, at the same time, actually practice parts of your full swing.
For your interest I do have a golf lesson which gets new or struggling golfers hitting the ball like good golfers within 30 minutes in their first lesson. The only times I have failed at doing this is when we just had such a good time chatting about things during the 30 minutes that it just took longer to go through my lesson. Here is something really new. My next article in this series leading toward my golf instruction modules is: One Wrong Thought Causes Sooooo Many Of The Bad Hits You See And Do Here is another important thought. My teaching will lead you into various golf swing methods which you see advertised. Three of these are the Traditional Swing, The Natural Golf Swing, and Gravity Golf. My original goal was to make it easier for you to learn the traditional swing used by most golfers. When I finally got to see books and videos of the other two methods I discovered that I was teaching elements of these swing concepts.
