Clinics & Schools

Just had an ‘AskUs’ e-Mail from a ‘555 Golf Round Table Member’. Great to be globally connected! Thank you for that privilege!

She asked what was the difference between a ‘Golf Clinic and a School’?

A ‘Golf Lesson’ can range from 45 to 75 minutes and is a ‘One On One … student to teacher ratio’ event. This is the second-best arrangement we offer in ‘The 555 Academy’. “What is the best?” you ask. Another good question. The ‘Two on One Ratio’ is optimal. It affords one student to learn from what the other is doing. “Charlie, come watch what Alex is doing with this Putting Drill! He has a glitch. You will see it so help him overcome this infirmity!” Seeing what others are doing and isolating the fix is a great learning experience.

A ’Golf Clinic’ ranges from two to three hours of very interactive attention and focus involving no more than one very talented and experienced teacher with four students. Three is better.

A ‘Golf School’ usually entails four to six hours with a lunch break wherein all the participants can do dialogue or good ‘Q&A’. The functional ‘Student To Teacher Ratio’ usually involves three students per teacher. Six students requires two teachers. If we have ten students, the ‘555 Team’ prefers to have three teachers. It Is very busy dynamic!

‘Golf Schools’ are usually two to three six-hour days. I have been involved in schools with four and five days, including some course work on days 2,3,4 and 5. My candid learned opinion? Five days is simply ‘Too Much Medicine’ in that period of time! Day four and five demands some really ingenious activities or enthusiasm can morph into boredom! Bad outcome!         

Common opinions or critique of the 5 Day School were often “Too Long!”
