OPFL - Old Patrick57 Flight Laws - versus Trackman

[Patrick57]

So lets understand your teaching.

You teach people on day one to shape a ball.

You teach ICE (whatever that stands for) and very few of your students master it. So why persevere with a teaching method that doesn't work for your students?

You charge an hourly rate higher than any pro in the South East of England - even Peter Mitchell a Tour winner on the European Tour and Seniors Tour was quoting £50 per hour recently but you claim many thousands of lessons over many many years at a rate that I doubt would attract only the most keen of golfers.

Then you say that the man we all love - Bob - couldn't hold a candle to you, despite the fact that every tip he has given on here makes sound sense to me!


Go on Patrick - tell us - what sort of wind up are you on???

I replied to a post that said Bob has probably forgot more about coaching than I could ever learn. I only said he couldn't hold my torch because he doesn't know me and I don't know him. That makes about as much sense as the original reference to my knowledge.

I have been teaching golf for the last v15 years in Austria etc and taught for 12 years in Scotland before that.

So that'll be 27 then.

First 15, then 26, now 27...... And you want to pick the bones out of my math!!

Still, it doesn't mean I'm a bad coach.

Very true.

In the same vein as understanding numbers doesn't make me a wannabe accountant :thup:

You do seem to suffer from OCD however. lol

Where did you coach in Scotland. Edinburgh area? Out towards Gullane?

All of it probably! He's the best out there don't you know.

Giving 2,000 1/2 hours lessons per year, for 26 years would work out at more than 40,000 lessons. That would be approx. 40 per week, meaning I work 20 hours per week and earn about 1200 quid.

If you think I'm over worked, you're getting the wrong end of the stick.

Plenty of free time to teach yourself to hit that 5i then :ears:

I agree!

glad you agree you tell lies and are just out to cause trouble.

can you ask me this question though:

why do you feel the need to cut and paste posts on every forum out there? especially when you are met with such hostility.

Sums some of the drivel up nicely.

It might be, or it mightn't be, or it is or it isn't.
