Thanks Burner and B-Ray.

I've just been asked to set up a Golf Academy for a prestigious International School here in Thailand. The ultimate goal, for those into golf, is be able to play and think well enough to get a golf scholarship to just about anywhere.

The kids at the school are K-12 grades. We have no idea how many students we will have in the Academy as we are just growing the grass right now. Luckily things grow fast here.

Most of the teching will be in group lesson form. Classroom stuff, drilling and hitting balls to a target, type thing. My thinking is like what Burner and Golfguru suggested....good information but light in the beginning, then building from there.

As I have been investigating TGM for the past couple of years or so i've been able to fill the gaps in my teaching knowledge. I guess I would like for my kids to fill those gaps early. The understanding of Basic and Acquired Motions is very appealling right now and I'm just wondering if this would not be a better approach than going out and bashing balls around?

What do you think on these lines?
