But I think it generally comes down to how much they can improve and the cost and time. If they could spend $200 and take 15-30 minutes a day and go from a 10 handicap to a scratch in 4 months, they'd probably do that. Hell, I think if they could go from a 10 to a 4 in that time they'd do that. But IMO the teaching usually isn't good enough and avoids explaining things like why 'keeping your head down' is a farce and why if you learn to control the low point, THEN you will get the ball airborn consistently.<br /><br />I think if you can prove to them that and then get them to execute that part of the swing, then they'll buy into you improving other things like accuracy and power. <br /><br />Most of my time I play I attempt to do some research on what the average golfer is really thinking, usually to get ideas for my blog. Not a round goes by where some amateur talks about 'keeping their head down' and quite frankly I've never seen an instructor address it once.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3JACKRich H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00619151630318195719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574495817462192.post-54538817263106247632010-05-20T10:36:45.995-07:002010-05-20T10:36:45.995-07:0080% of golfers have not taken lessons.80% of golfers have not taken lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051574495817462192.post-32290802993531641022010-05-20T09:33:33.204-07:002010-05-20T09:33:33.204-07:00Richie, I think the reason people don't improv...Richie, I think the reason people don't improve is far more simple than all of that.<br /><br />Ego.<br /><br />"I don't need lessons, I can figure it out myself."<br /><br />It's really the American way and I'm willing to bet more Europeans take lessons than Americans.
