In Tommy Armour’s landmark book “How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time” he states that “there are at least six people who want to be taught golf to every one that wants to learn”. Fortunately for me, Sean fell into the latter category. He is a true seeker, every astute, articulate and a fine person.
With Sean’s permission, the following is brief outline of some of the things we discussed:
His athletic background and physical condition.
His Golfing Goals
The Four Prerequisites that should take place during the lesson.
Making changes and their different sensations.
The Geometry of the Circle and the player’s responsibility in creating a Three Dimensional Impact as well as the Clubs responsibility.
The three Functions of the Club and their corresponding Imperatives.
Basic Motion.
Impact Fix, setting the Flying Wedges, and their relationship to the Address and Balance.
We determined that Sean is a Hitter based on his own beliefs as well as his Loading Action at the Top and his active use of the Right Arm.
The normal condition of the Arms, especially maintaining the Flying Wedges at least until Follow Through.
Homer’s simple idea of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach.
We studied pictures of great ball strikers from the past.
The precise use and feel of certain Pressure Points (Direct Drive #1 and Indirect Drive #3)
The motion of the Right shoulder down plane and the avoidance of running out of my right arm because of a Flat Downstroke Shoulder Turn and its resulting Clubhead Throwaway.
How Over-Acceleration Kills Alignments and Lag.
Drills, Drills, Drills
The TGM secret handshake.
Not booking another lesson until certain things happen.

I am sure we talked about more than I have listed. Above all else, Sean hit some beautiful shots that sounded and looked different, which made us both happy .
