Rapid Learning of Golf Thru Technology & Instant Feedback

Below is an excerpt from Data Axis Golf on the importance of technology to improve your golf game. 

One thing I wanted to kind of point some light on really quickly is just because that we’re into rapidly learning and all that. If you go to golf.com, there’s a little article that’s been put out there by one Leitch. If that’s wrong, somebody can correct me. He’s 43 years old. He’s a skeptic, I guess, non-golfing skeptics. He never played and he is now going to try to learn to play golf in the next year. He’s basically using the same coach that’s kind of got Charles Barkley. playing a little bit better. 

As you read the article there are some things that I like. I think that he might have an opportunity, within a year to play decent golf. We won’t say, you know, perfect golf, but decent golf in that this coach Tattersall likes to use a lot of different technology and feedback. I’ve said time and time again, I believe with instant feedback, accurate feedback, that anybody can get a lot better at golf very quickly much more so than we’ve ever been able to do in the past.  

So this will be kind of a fun test to see how it goes. There are still some skeptics out there that say no, you, you know you can’t, you can’t do it. I was one of those. I have been brutally honest to people who started the game late and told him that they don’t have time to ever get good at golf. I now find that position to be completely wrong. It’s false. With all the technology and opportunity that we have to get better and get proper feedback, we can get a lot better at golf much more quickly than ever. So this will be fun to watch.  

So if you want to take some time to watch, that’s on golf.com. I will definitely keep an eye on it. I think it’s going to be interesting. And as far as have I seen others and get better with golf? Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of folks using technology get better at golf. The aforementioned Greg that I was talking about, he’s gotten much better at golf. He knows his golf swing far better because of some work with technology that he’s put in.  

I saw in my own children. I essentially took a brand-new golfer in my kids and turned them into players that could shoot in the mid-80s in a month from really nothing. Had I been able to convince them to go out and chip and putt and practice that part of the game, I think they could have shot in the 70s.
