Re: Does the PGA have it wrong?

So my question is this, does the PGA have it wrong on how students
should be taught or what they should be taught?
Thanks,

Interesting point.
I don't neccessarily think the PGA has it wrong, but more than likely
most golfers are looking for a 'quick fix' - that magic little move that
will propel them from a 20 handicap to scratch in one easy lesson.
Golf requires practice and to play good golf it requires lots of
practice, but the practice itself must have some direction, not bashing
balls one after the other.
I think this speaks to the fact that golf, regardless of equipment
improvements, agronomy improvements etc., is an inherently difficult
game to master.
