“Golf Instruction”

In Wikipedia.com, it cited:

“Anyone can play the game of golf. Golf requires practice and some basic instruction on technique, equipment, rules and etiquette.”
“Golf students have different learning styles. There are Show-Me Golfers and I-Am-What-I-Am Golfers. Show-me golfers are eager to try new ideas, new equipment, new teachers, and new locations. They are the golfers most willing to contemplate a complete rebuilding of the golf swing. I-Am-What-I-Am golfers tend to more conservative in their approach to new ideas and techniques, tend to favor their old clubs and tested instruction techniques, and prefer tinkering with their swing rather than rebuilding from scratch.”
“The most important things a golfer learns are correct posture, grip, alignment and the golf swing itself.” … “Great ball-striking golfers all have great club position at impact and tremendous swing velocity, generated by correct application of the fundamentals.”

I found this short article about Golf Instruction fairly interesting, especially the middle paragraph where it illustrates two types of students, Show-Me Golfer and I-am-what-I-am Golfer.

I believe Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh are good representatives of these two types. Tiger abandoned his already successful swing and rebuilt from fundamental up, Vijay is known to be the hardest working golfer on Tour who repeats his practice the most. Tiger is continuing his journey to be the legend, yet Vijay is continuing his faith sliding down the world ranking.

Show-Me and I-am-what-I-am golfing types definitely deserve one to pay attention to.
