PRactice leads to progRess

I love teaching golf and I especially love teaching golf to students who are willing to put in the time to practice.  I stress this to all of my students but especially for students who purchase lesson packages and plan to have a lesson on a weekly basis.  I make the commitment to my students and I expect my students to make the commitment to practice what they have learned in the lesson.  Why?  I don't like to see people waste money. 

If a week goes by and my student has not practiced, it is very unlikely that we are going to make much progress in the next lesson.  I want my students to improve in their skills and their game.  That progression happens during a student's practice time when neural pathways are created.
​
Neural pathways are formed whenever we start a new behavior.  Golf can be a new behavior for a beginner student or it can be an existing behavior that needs to be altered for an amateur golfer​.  Either way it takes time for your brain to impress the new behavior into your memory.  Just like riding a bike, once you have learned you do not need to learn again.  

Golf skills, however, require more practice because learning how to swing a golf club is only the beginning.  The physics of the golf swing will take you on a journey of varying emotions as you play the course.  It is not something that you will master after one lesson without practice.  For this reason, I do not recommend taking a lesson just before your tee time. 

If you want to progress, make the time to practice.  If life gets in the way and you cannot practice; reschedule your lesson.
