The
process golf instructors use to give lessons
needs major improvements.
So
does the process students use to take, practice
and apply them.
My extensive field
research reveals this. As
a behavior-change expert, I designed a new
process Behavioral Golf Instruction. It
measurably and sharply improves instruction
results. Results
from all instruction sources will improve rather
from private
lessons (the best), golf instruction books,
video, TV, Cable, web sites, tips from
friends, observations
of better players or self-experiments.
Quick Summary:
- The students lower their average score. Instructors make more money.
- All golfers and instructors
should learn and apply this new process.
- My web site ApplyGolfLessons.com
tells and shows you what the process is.
- You pay no charges. You
view no ads.
- I need your help in spreading
this message to friends worldwide.
Welcome to golfers worldwide — stars, average players, beginners and those who quit playing golf believing the game was too tough. And welcome to professional golf instructors everywhere in the world -in the PGA of America, the LPGA, the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland, the European PGA, the PGA in Australia, the New Zealand Golf Assoc. and the 25,000 plus instructors in the USGTF.

The
golf industry studies how professional golfers,
golf clubs and golf balls perform as scientifically
as engineers study how jet planes fly. However,
when it comes to giving, taking, practicing
and applying golf instruction, my studies
reveal the need for a major overhaul. Too
often instruction is like traveling in a
covered wagon. |
THE
SOLUTION: BEHAVIORAL GOLF INSTRUCTION
What is the good news? You can easily learn and
apply Behavioral Golf Instruction, a process I
designed to measurably improve the process of
giving instruction and the process of taking,
practicing and applying it. My objectives for
Behavioral Golf Instruction are listed below.
These objectives are like five consecutive tough
pin positions on a tough course. However, I take
dead, solid, perfect aim at helping instructors
give the lesson and assisting students in taking,
practicing and applying the lesson.
The objectives of Behavioral Golf Instruction are to:
 |
Lower the golf
student’s average score. |
 |
Measurably improve performance
in the subject area of the lesson(s). |
 |
Improve all golfers who
use the complete process correctly. |
 |
Achieve the improvement
quickly, without the downturn instructors
often predict. |
 |
Sustain the improvement
long term. |
Yes,
these are ideal objectives. But we chose them
as our flagsticks. We chained backwards from
those tough objectives to design the steps
in the process that will produce those five
results. If you use all of the steps in this
process and do so accurately, you will achieve
these results above. Annika Sorenstam believes
it is possible to shoot 18 birdies in a round,
and was the first to shoot a 59 in an LPGA
event. Our philosophy exactly.
THESE PROBLEMS ARE OPPORTUNITIES
I am an expert in changing human behavior and
its outputs on a measurable basis in large
organizations and in golfers and golf instructors.
Here are some of the opportunities for improvement
I found in my extensive research on golf instruction
and its application by golfers. There are opportunities
to improve in almost all lessons given in person
or through other media. In many cases, the
opportunities are substantial.
Most students who take
instruction do not lower their average score. If they do, they often
go through a prolonged period of decline. By
a probability of five to one, the lesson is
on a part of the game with a lower payoff.
On 95% of the lessons, no one collects and
records any performance data before, during
or after instruction. As early as the end of
the lesson, the student does not recall 50%
to 90% of the lesson. The student attempts
a swing change on full shots by immediately
swinging the clubhead from the top of the swing
to impact at 20 times faster than a Ferrari
can accelerate. That is correct — 20
times faster, which is much too fast for learning
a swing change.
Because the instructors rarely suggest self-correcting
feedback systems, the students often cannot
apply the lesson content and sustain performance
when the instructor is absent. Only 10% of
the golfers can apply ball flight laws accurately
to determine where the clubhead path and clubface
direction were on each of their last five full
shots. The immediate consequences of making
many swing changes are discussion of a long-term
maintenance system.

many widespread problems golfers have. For
example, students often do not know what
to say and do that produces a better lesson
from an instructor. Read our “Empowerment”
article on the questions to ask, the statements
to make and the actions students should
take before, during and after the lesson. |

Unknowingly, golfers often
aim and align in directions and at distances
from the target that often stuns them when
they obtain accurate feedback. Click on
Written Solutions and then on Aim and Alignment

golfers and instructors as you can about
these ideas and email them a copy directly
