Test for Choosing a Golf Instructor



The golf instructor you pick will have a profound effect on the quality of your golf, the joy of your golf, the consistency of your golf, the skill of your golf, and the independence from further instruction of your golf.


Instructor A: Exposed to golf during his teens, is captain of his high school golf team, goes to college on a golf scholarship, goes to PGA school, works as an apprentice under a certified Class A PGA golf instructor at a country club, begins teaching.



Instructor B: Exposed to golf at age 8, sells buckets of balls to 1,000s of customers at a driving range with rubber mats, studies the differences in the golfers skills and asks them questions, begins teaching at 10 years old, intuitively discovers what works and what doesn't for his students, is not a member of the PGA.
