HomeSchool Special

I recently learned that one of my students would be attending school at home.  His Mom told me that after observing the environment in the public school system as a substitute teacher she discovered that her son was not challenged academically.  Having spent a considerable amount of time with him in golf lessons, I can attest that he is a very intelligent young boy and I look forward to seeing him grow as a golfer and as a person. 

I have talked to other parents who have elected to homeschool their children and while quality of education is important, I believe character building is a big factor.  As a golfer, character is paramount.  Counting strokes requires the golfer to be honest.  If you accidentally hit your ball while taking a practice swing it counts.  If you move your ball out of a difficult lie, it counts.  If you hit the ball into the water, it counts.  Everything counts in golf and everything counts in life. 

I have been playing since I was five but I practice every morning and any chance I get in-between lessons.  I love golf and it is my hope that my students will grow to love it as much as I do.  Some of my students have aspirations of attaining college scholarships and beyond so I talk to them constantly about commitment, discipline and perseverance.   All of these traits apply to the decisions we make daily.  

If you have decided to homeschool your child or know someone who has because character building is important, allow me to be a partner in that endeavor.  I have recently relaunched a 7-week Junior Golf Group Class on Tuesdays at Park Ridge Golf Course.
