If the idea is to get more people playing the game, I certainly stand by the "teach them well" view. NOTHING brings golfers back to play again more than a great shot, or a great round.
As for other reasons, depends on who your target market is. Some people don't play more often because 4-6 hour rounds take too much time out of a busy life. Others play the game for exactly that reason, to get away from it all. So your solution needs to take into account which markets you want. Speed golf for some, cheaper courses for others.... and WALKING for all (it really bothers me that most courses in my area don't even let you walk, and these aren't the big 'development' courses where you are really forced to by the design).
but better shots, and better scores will do it for ALL markets and that is only going to happen with great, widespread, and accurate teaching of all areas of the game.
That screensaver I mentioned a while back - the imperatives and essentials along with model hitters/swingers. Give it away with a TGM book or hat or towel or headcover/bag tag. Get the BUZZZZZ going full steam...... or should I say full compression
Gotta love this place eh?

Probably sheer ignorance on my part, but I was surprised to see this. (I.e. golf school marketing on Michelle Wie). Pics from todays newspapers over here. (Article not related)
Since MW shot a 64 already at age 10 it seems Lead has already implemented the idea. Well done.
