Golf Instruction And Learning
I have searched from head to foot and at a low level for a superior golf coach and no luck! I have taken instruction on line, at clubs, from friends with low handicaps and still haven’t found a good quality one. I would go pay fifty dollars or more and have the kid tell me what I was “doing wrong” but I have yet to locate someone to help me do what is accurate. Why is it that when you take a lesson some place they constantly tell you what your doing wrong but never seem to give you a rock-hard plan to go onward? I would fancy to find a good pro that did Online Golf Instruction that could ask me what I was doing and what I wanted to get out of a golf lesson. I have found such a Pro and I’m going to tell you why in just 4 weeks he was able to spin my golf swing in the opposite direction with Online Golf Instruction. First he asked what I required to accomplish with my golf game. How can you recognize how to go forward without a direction? You can’t. When you get in your car to go someplace you have a destination you have an address. In my case the GPS tells me what way to go and what way to turn and I go along because I have belief that it knows what it’s talking about. GPS is nothing with out me typing in a destination and I feel that golf instruction is the same way if you don’t recognize what your looking to do you’ll have a hard time getting there.
The next point was that he asked me what additional sports I had played in the past and at what level. He also did a short flexibility quiz. After that I was asked if I had any physical restrictions. I didn’t but what if I only had one arm or had a bad back. Wouldn’t you think that that should be taken into consideration? How can you ask someone to do something physical without knowing his or her physical ability? This should hold accurate with all instruction not just Online Golf Instruction.
Finally I was asked to disclose the first-class parts of my game and the ghastly parts of my game and what my goals were as it related to golf. If my driver was the best club in my bag and he asked me to do the lesson with my driver that wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense would it? What I am getting at is so many instructors assume what a person wants from them. I say ask. Ask questions first make a plan of action and follow through. Take the time to figure out what kind of ball flight they have and give them information that they can use to fix the problem. If further instructors would take these steps there wouldn’t be such a stigma against taking golf coaching.
