I always ask “What are your golfing goals?”
I am the programmer for my students. I create what I call their recipe or program. I am a map maker. I find out what their goals are. They tell me. I do not tell them.
“I just want to be comfortable so I can play with my friends”. “I just don’t want to embarrass myself”. “I want my daughter to have a sport of her own that empowers her.” “I want to break 100.”
Then, I chart the route from where they’re at to where they want to go. From there, I instruct. I offer homework–drills, games and exercises. I guide, supervise, cheerlead, insist, redirect, etc. All in order that every client receives exactly what they need to arrive at the stated end. In a word, I give lessons.
