Always Looking to Improve

One of things that never ceases to amaze me is that most golfers have a thirst for improvement.  Whether it be through lessons, magazines, instruction books, seminars, etc... they're always striving to get better.
One of my main goals in teaching is help students become better at being their own best teacher.  The more they understand their mistakes and then the necessary corrections, the better they can help themselves.

One of my favorite things to do is helping other instructors be better at what they love to do.  I get the opportunity to travel around the world to give seminars on my teaching philosophy.  Some of the attendees have heard me many times in the past but say they always pick up something new.
The picture is from a Teaching the Teacher seminar at St. Leon Rot in Hiedelberg, Germany.  All of the men pictured are instructors or players.  And they have a thirst for improvement.  Two notable in attendance are: Torsten Gideon(standing on the extreme right) and Gunter Kessler(sitting in the middle).  Torsten played on the European Champions Tour in 2009 and Gunter is the Coach to Martin Kaymer and Marcel Siem, two of the rising stars on the European Tour.  To have them in attendance was an honor.  But it just goes to show you that anyone can improve.

My message is simple.  Do what you do because it's the best way you know to do it.  And stay consistent with your message but always find a way to improve it.  Lastly, remember that improving at golf is not a fix, IT'S A PROCESS.  Never ending.  Just stay consistent.
