Can Crowley Golf Training Improve Ball Striking Without Changing My Golf Swing?
I like to think in terms of building technique rather than correcting. Building creates necessary understandings for student technique ownership, where correction is fragmented and not part of the whole understanding. Correction requires change, building can be achieved through subtle adjustments. Often a slight adjustment to your basics: grip, stance, posture, or alignment can have a huge influence on technique. This subtle area of adjustment often creates noticeable improvement in function and performance. In golf as you well know, even a slight adjustment can feel like a different golf swing. Your level of performance will improve relative to your tolerance in building a better golf swing to achieve your goals in performance.
Can Crowley Golf Training Improve My Game With One Lesson?
Often, improvement can be made in only one lesson. One lesson, will provide you with an assessment of your current technique with a cause and affect explanation in how your technique could be improved. The challenge in one lesson is the issue of habits. Students will experience success in the one lesson, but habits will not be formed or changed. Usually, additional instruction is required for students to successfully un-learn habits before re-learning can take place. On-course performance instruction is the most effective means for improvement without changing swing technique. Techniques in performance will be addressed in all areas of the game.
Does Crowley Golf Training Use Computer Technologies in Golf Instruction?
Crowley Golf Training does not use graphing technology in video, or for that matter, any technology in the student learning process. As Christopher Dede stated; “When you start with technology, it’s a solution looking for a problem.” Video is often used in golf instruction as a visual physical means of identifying errors in technique without identifying faulty conceptual errors as opposed to students using a structured conceptual learning process, where faulty concepts can be identified and replaced with valid concepts and understandings. Video does have a place in instruction, as a visual reinforcement of physical performance, but provides very little to a cognitive learning process responsible for the physical performance.. Your golf lesson, will be an hour of identifying faulty concepts and replacing them with valid concepts to be used in learning, training, and building correct technique.

I believe methodologies impose on students as opposed to students learning how to learn to teach themselves using correct fundamental information with instructional guidance. I believe the role of instruction is to provide students with guidance in their learning process that enables them to learn and train with structured concepts as opposed to any restricted adherence to any subjective methodology. While technique is important, it should work with the student’s talent and not impose on learning through self discovery.

Our Corporate Tournament Is Next Month And I Have Never Played Golf Before. I Now Want To Play In Our Tournament. How Can I Prepare?
You can begin with taking a series of six lessons. This series of lessons will give me the opportunity to introduce you to learning how to learn in golf and cover all of the necessary basics in preparing and performing. Instruction will cover the main areas of the game in concepts and techniques and at this point you are prepared to learn how to play the game, but not necessarily ready for your tournament as far as playing. I believe the most important thing when you stand on the tee box and prepare to tee off, is how you are perceived as a prepared learner, not so much in how well you hit the ball, but demonstrating that you have done your homework in preparing and not just winging it. Participation is the key to corporate outings and tournaments, not necessarily how well you perform. Success in the beginning, is how well you are prepared and how well you apply yourself. Physical skill acquisition will be a process of learning and training experiences over a period of time.

Why Are There So Many Methods offered In Teaching?
There are many ways to swing a golf club with varying degrees of success. The only reason to pursue the so called correct approach is that it is easier to achieve greater consistency in ball striking and performance. Historically, teaching in golf has always been plagued with endless subjective opinions and methods as to the form and function of the golf swing. This represents the paradigm problem in teaching, past and present, versus, a new paradigm in learning using a defined learning process and curriculum of structured concepts. Conceptually understanding the golf swing gives students the ability to operate their body free of any external physical manipulation according to anyone’s subjective method. Your age, body, level of athleticism, and commitment should determine the best approach in how you choose to learn in golf. Methods are subjective techniques meant for you and your body to adhere to, while replacing, over-riding, or subjecting your talent and inner athlete to its form and function. Golf technique should work with your body as apposed to the body adhering to a method. Student conceptual learning in athletics, should use instructional guidance to learn physical form and function, while utilizing their talents, strengths and preferences.
