Wow.
All I could comment is, someone had dropped the ball or lost the enthusiasm for the game.
Either this fellow didn’t believe the girl mentioned has potential to be better to further his reputation, or something else.
A student, nonetheless a paid student, should be given the same quality of attention as a touring professional.
Big names in coaching has one thing in common, they demand big time fee. I heard some ridiculous fee charged by a few teaching professionals who have tour golfers ( or past your golfers ) in their stable.
Very sorry to say, even if we should not change our instructors like spinning wheels in hope of a miracle; because there should not be much difference except for the fees schedule, but loyalty does not pay in these days.
Her parents should have kept her in sight, ask her about her game every week instead just pay the fee and expect great things to happen.
Good observation with trained, experienced analytical mind would be a good mentor to this youngster.
I feel these days, too many fall into the trap of “maximizing” the potential in profit, drawn up by those who really did not understand the game. They run the teaching institute as a “business” instead of a nurturing greenhouse for the students.
As some clinical schools including a few classes for business management before they graduate the students and expecting them to get a loan to start a successful business. The business model they taught in the classroom is decades old, not including the huge changes we’ve been experiencing in the last decade.
Same with schools of golf. The newer generation of teaching professionals should study and understand the traditional way of teaching combining with the classroom technics they learned to be successful.
The lack of person to person connection with the modern technology has a lot to do with the attitude instilled in the younger generations. Tough to grow up in the world of messaging, social media, online schooling…
I’m glad you could lend a helping hand to this young lady. Hopefully there is still time for her to prepare for college golf.
