Different learning styles require different approaches.
It’s interesting how some people take golf instruction well and some people don’t. You can easily find people who are very talented and capable, but don’t learn well from a teacher. For those kinds of people, they may find that golf instruction from a book or DVD series is more helpful.
Some people just concentrate better when they are reading than when they are listening to people. It’s important for each person to find the right approach to learning so that he or she can excel, and that’s not only true with golf, but any field of endeavor. Even if you don’t learn well from a teacher in a one-on-one situation, that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed with golf instruction from other sources.
