6b......Unfortunatley as a teacher some times you have to give the student what they want, if it's a quick tip then so be it! You just have to makes sure the student is aware it's a quick fix and may not last.
Guys, Carl Spackler is a very knowledgable student of the swing and game. He is a great addition to the already extensive list of great contributors on Lynn Blake Golf!
Sorting Through the Instructors Textbook.
B-Ray
Yes Carl is going to be an outstanding instructor, he knows his stuff- The Right Stuff.
And my point about tips and strokes is exactly as you wrote. You will lose a student that only wants a series of quick tips or fixes with a long term stroke construction-this is a business. And do a disservice to a student willing to build a machine. I think we agree.
comdpa....great post, I will be sure to print that out and save it!!!
Thank you for your kind words bucket, 6-B, and B-ray.....it has been a pleasure getting to know all of you, and I hope to meet up with you again soon!!!
Carl (are you REALLY called Spackler?) .As a student who wants to be as good as he can be ,WHENEVER he gets there,It is important to me to told what is correct -it is up to me to do it ---and I work hard trying.The important thing is I know TGM is correct- after spending time with the best people-I KNOW.
The teacher must teach.
The student must absorb and apply.
As a student-I work hard .
But it took me a long time to work on the right things-I practiced 6DAYS A WEEK FOR YEARS -ON THE WRONG THINGS!
Sure, the student must absorb and apply .................but if you don't have the teacher
Onward Carl
