I've told many of you about one of my greatest juniors. If you hit a drive and you see the whites of Yoda's eyes, you know you've busted it. This junior is 15 now, but started with me at 14. He is a great athlete, and played everything but golf. I gave him his first lesson, and in 8 months he shot 33 for 9 holes. After 14 months, he shot 67 for 18 holes. He'll be playing #1 on his high school team as a sophomore. He's so young in golf, I can't wait to see the things he'll be able to accomplish. When he wins a Tour event, I hope he'll give a shout out to Homer.
Ted speaks the truth. And this young man is as humble as he is talented. He's a refreshing change of pace in the often cocksure world of junior golf.
What I have observed is that the 'average joe' will not improve long term at least unless there is one critical factor. The willingness and ability to adhere to the instruction given.
No matter how good the instructor is, if the student doesn't commit, success is not to be. Kind of making a golf stroke, you need to commit to it else all who knows, it might work, it probably won't.
A sidenote, the short game fix is a bandaide in most cases. Cause if you have poor basics with the short game, you can get some good results, but it won't hold up and it certainly isn't going to help the rest of your game. I have seen more flippers get away with it in the short game only to see the same moves in the rest of the game that kills them.
