Well currently I am an Assistant Golf Pro in Nashville Tennessee. I have a lot of talent when it comes to playing and I feel like I can teach pretty well also. But the way I became dangerous as a player was through a better understanding of what needs to happen and a even greater discipline on doing things the right way.

When I started TGM I hit basic motion shots for hours every day, and I still do when given the chance.

Now I am teaching people what I have learned and, well they seem to believe that hitting 10 basic motion shots in a lifetime will be enough. Most of the time they still aren't doing it correct. My head just wants to explode half of the time.

How do you other teachers put up will the egos that show up on the range?

It seems that everyone just wants a instant fix.

I would love to hear how you guys do it.

Everyone's different. But, I strive to truly know my students. If our goals are the same, then no one is disappointed. I think that everyone that takes lessons from me knows that I care about them, I want them to get better, and I take as much delight in their success as they do.

There are those that want a "tip" to hit it better in the Club Championship which, by the way, starts tomorrow. And, there are those that understand that it will take time and effort to make a substantial change. If I had a dime for everyone that said, "I don't want to change my swing. But, I sure would like to play better.", I could retire.

I am brutally honest with those that don't listen to my advice about proper practice. I tell them that they are welcome to stay vested in MY retirement plan. They are more than welcome to keep coming every week, wasting money, just to listen to me talk. Or, they can take my advice and reap the benefits. Usually, they choose the latter.
