Can Golf School Help Or Hinder Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

Slow Play Is The #1 Problem For Most Public Golf Courses!

Is it really that hard of a decision to make when first starting to play the game of golf? Is it really that hard to understand for a beginner to not be out there on a regulation golf course? That probally the foursome’s behind you are perturbed and angry? That your probally ruining their day with all of your hacking going on and slowing play down to a crippling crescendo!

Did you ever realize to yourself that you don’t belong out there? That you should take your golf swing to the driving range until you learn at least how to hit a little white golf ball.  If you do want to play then your skills should be on a short executive course where it’s much easier for beginners and women to play.  Where you won’t get so angry, frustrated and want to quit the game before even learning how to play.

Slow play is the number one problem! That most public,  not so much semi or private golf courses will face in trying to keep the traffic coming back to play again.  The public golf course that I play on,  the average round is about 5 1/2 hours long.  This practically kills the rest of your day from doing anything else.

So how do golf courses overcome this problem? My opinion is that a golfer shouldn’t be allowed to play on a regulation golf course if he can’t come close to breaking 100.  You can tell those golfers.  They have no business playing because they have no idea about golf swing mechanics.  They also don’t know the rules nor the etiquette of the game. Many of them flat out don’t care and are only out there to have their fun at the expense of others!

Another way to overcome slow play is for each golfer to take on their own responsibility to learn the game which includes etiquette and the rules set forth for fair play.  It can be governed by Local or U.S.G.A. rules.

I believe the best way for golfers to improve upon their golf swing mechanics is by taking golf lessons.  This can apply to someone just beginning or has been playing for a very long time.  I frequently get lessons from my club pro when my golf swing goes out of kilter and needs to be readjusted.

Golf  school is another great way to learn the mechanics of a golf swing.  I’m a firm believer that you can’t improve your golf swing mechanics unless your able to analysis, understand and implement the changes in your golf swing broken down into individual different parts. This goes for anything you do in life when you are building something  worth of value.

In finding a right golf school their program should be top-notch.  It should have a teaching facility that includes weatherproof hitting shelters,  several putting and chipping greens,  trouble shot improvement areas,  indoor classrooms with state-of-the-art video equipment for swing analysis,  and several practice ranges with endless piles of balls.

Most golf schools will have an 18 hole Championship golf course associated with it.  What’s most important about a golf school there needs to be a lot of individual attention.  There should be a  pro for every small group of 5 – 10 students.

The emphasis is clearly on getting results.  If a student’s swing needs to be dramatically changed or altered,  if a student’s approach to the game needs to be completely rearranged,  then that’s what should happen.  They can quickly tear you apart and put it all back together.  They’ll  even put your game in better shape than they found it.  For many it can mean overwhelming and a traumatizing experience.

Video streaming is very important evidence of how good or bad one’s own individual golf swing is.  It can provide inconceivable evidence that your not the second coming of Byron Nelson.  They really will grill you through the paces. Each student will hit hundreds,  if not several hundreds, of golf balls a day.  The instructor makes the students work at their  lessons over and over again.  When the program’s complete,  one’s golf swing isn’t the same no more.  It’s better. It almost has to be.

After they change your mechanics in your golf swing you’ll notice that your hitting the golf ball straighter, farther and more solidly with consistency.  It will feel strange and unfamiliar at first but,  the changes become results producing.

Most good golf schools are at least a three day program.  Usually, the first two days are filled with separate sessions on different aspects of the game.  Such as driving,  hitting irons,  chipping and putting,  dealing with trouble shots.  On the final day,  the class normally goes out with the pro on to the golf course,  and  plays at least nine holes.

You have him there as your own personal coach,  mentor and cheerleader,  before retiring back to school for one final round of practice.   Most golf schools will allow you to play as much as you want after instructions is completed for the day.

Rule 6-7. Undue delay or Slow play.  The player shall play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play guidelines which may be governed by club rules.  Between completion of a hole and playing from the next teeing ground,  the player shall not unduly delay play.

The resulting penalties are:  Match play- Loss of Hole.  Stroke play- two strokes.  Subsequent offense is Disqualification.

How to Avoid Slow Golf Play -
Slow play is not only unnecessary, but it can have some negative consequences and should be avoided at all costs.

    Hi Scott

    I totally agree on most of the frustrations involved with slow play. The problem the golf clubs here in Sydney & Newcastle, Australia are finding are that the golfing members are dwindling because of the financial pressures happening and the clubs are finding it hard to encourage new people to join.

    To just discourage wannabe golfers from getting onto the golf course if they can’t hit under the ton would be detrimental to all involved.

    I agree there should be coaching offered to those who have an interest and encouraged to take it further.

    Unfortunately golf still has an elitist image in some areas and you need to spend big dollars to be the part.

    OK for the country clubs and some of the wankers that go there for the image only, but stats would show us that the most money spent in the golfing arena would be from the local club members.

    So we must look for ways to patronage our club members and those who enjoy a round under the ton at a reasonable pace, but also encourage the new golfers before they’re told to piss off.

    You never know, we may miss a special golfer or 2 and lose a course or 2.

    Great comment thank you. Here in Rochester, NY we’re facing the same financial troubles. A few of our private courses are turning semi-private because of loss of membership. We have one private course just in the past week that has closed down permanently laying everyone off. Their membership went from 300 a couple of years ago down to less than 100.

  3. The Old Crock on January 29th, 2010 5:49 am

    Thats not a good sign, losing 200 members. Where have they gone? Have they gone to the public courses to choke the fairways up more so. I couldn’t image 200 members throwing their clubs away?

    I’m sure that the powers to be are doing what they can. It’s going to be an interesting couple of years to come.

    In the meantime, we need to be patient around the course. Hey! Plenty of time to do our stretches or mentally visualize the golf ball going into the hole!
