What a great video, and perfectly topical for what I’ve been struggling with! Between this video and the Short Game Chef stuff, there might just be hope for my approach game/wedge play after all!!
I’m really, really hoping that the next installment is course management/strategy/target selection with Soly
I didn’t realize Maureen went to Oakwood. She was at OP when I was going to their indoor facility over winter lunch hours. Really nice lady. Her new facility is a little upgrade!
Oakwood course and range are unrecognizable for someone who moved away from KC five years ago.
What’s your opinion on online lessons? I recently moved to a new city and haven’t done much research on local coaches yet. My previous swing coach offered to continue coaching me through an app where I submit videos of my swing.
I’m intrigued by this option, but there’s also platforms like skillest, which I am interested in trying out as well. Getting another coaches opinion on my swing could be a big benefit.
I teach online lessons (DM me if you’re interested, I try not to promote my own stuff openly too much), and a lot of your fellow Refugees have done them, so I think they’re good. They don’t work if:
your instructor isn’t good at communicating without being able to move the student around
you aren’t good at practicing at the right speeds and exaggerating some things enough
Generally, if you can do that AND you can devote enough time to practice (often as I said above as little as 3 minutes at a time, 3 to 5 times a day), online lessons can be a cost effective way for both ends of the arrangement, that fit the schedules of both the instructor and student really well.
