OPFL - Old Patrick57 Flight Laws - versus Trackman

[Patrick57]

Patrick. You can't make much money then. That is unless the next 120 lessons are on putting.

I teach using the I.C.E. method and very few of my students master that although they do want to.

WOW!
At least it confirms that, you sir, are mental!

W-w-what?

As I have given over 40,000 private lessons... I doubt Bob could hold my torch.

26 years

Well if you work it out, you've given 4 lessons per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for the last 26 years.

Or in cash terms £3,200,000

That sound about right?

 

[BTatHome]

Can I ask a sensible question for once

How long have you been a teaching pro Patrick?

26 years

Come on, gotta be consistent for people to believe you ...

I'm Scottish and have been teaching golf for 15 years in Ireland, Austria and Germany. I'm 54, my daughter plays off 4, I used to play off 1, now about 4 ....

Respect!

You're a wanna be accountant!

I base my lesson's count on half hour sessions so you can half all of those figures.

 

[GreiginFife]

The crap this guy pedals gets better with each post. So he counts lessons based on hslf hour, says he gives 45 min lessons but charges by the hour. What a stable business model that must be.

:rofl:

Well, not really.

My figure was based on hour lessons, so in that case to maintain the figure you'd have to double the lessons so that's 8, 30 minute lessons a day, 7 days a wee, 365 days per year for the same net value.

You must be the hardest working teaching pro this side of the states!!!!

I thought that was the acroynm for fixing bruises and sprains (Ice, Compression, Elevation)

I can see the sarcasm in your words. I say, "do unto others as you would like them to do unto others." I thinks.

So lets get this straight you come on here after being banned from virtually every major golf forum, post the same topics that caused all the trouble (word for word in some cases), your posts at their best are antagonistic and at their worst are insulting and rude, you tell lies and continue to start topics and make posts that are simply an attempt to create controversy.........how do you expect to be treated?

 

[kinhell]

You shouldn't knock the bloke. I learnt how to slice and hook from the very day I picked up a club. I've been slicing and hooking every since

 

[chrisd]

I teach using the I.C.E. method and very few of my students master that although they do want to.

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???

 

[Patrick57]

Come on, gotta be consistent for people to believe you ...

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

Hey Pal,

I could break down all the different prices for 1/2, 3/4 and full hour lessons but I thought that would be a bit boring for the readers.

Do you actually have a point?

 

[Patrick57]

Well, not really.

My figure was based on hour lessons, so in that case to maintain the figure you'd have to double the lessons so that's 8, 30 minute lessons a day, 7 days a wee, 365 days per year for the same net value.

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.

I agree!
