Who can say what the best golf sbhools are? Would you rate them on
the tuition? On the facilities for the family? The best golf school
for a group of guys might be totally useless for a family with two
children to keep happy! Do you base it on results, such how lower your
handicap got, or on that extra few yards you found on your drive.
Everybody
has a different opinion on what makes a good golf school and it is
therefore probably best to take the peripherals out of it. A golf
school should be judged on its schooling in the great game of golf and
nothing else. Forget the accommodation and the food. Forget what they
do keep your partner or children amused while you are having your
lesson. Judge it on how ell you are taught and how successful they are
in curing these niggling problems.
Did your golf school cure your
slice or your hook? Did it stop you twitching during your putt, or
moving your head too soon on your drive? Did the teachers listen to you
when you tried to explain your problems, or did they just follow a set
program? These are how you should judge a golf school.
The Kids will Vote for Orlando!
Sure,
a golf school in Orlando might be good. I'm pretty sure the kids will
think Orlando is the best place for a golf school. Get mom or dad out
of the way while they learn to play golf and we can spend all day at
Disneyland. Your kids will vote for Orlando as being the best golf
school, whichever of the many you choose. After all, is the Ken Venturi
Golf Academy in Las Vegas any better that that in Orlando? Is the
Phoenix branch of the Bird Golf Academy any better than the same one in
Orlando?
In fact, is the best golf school one that provides you
with best golf instruction or is it that which provides you with all the
rest that you and your family are looking for in a vacation? This
probably depends on whether or not you are visiting the school on
vacation, or in a genuine attempt to seriously improve your golf. In
which case the question is the same. But looked upon from a different
angle.
Holidaymakers and Serious Golfers have Different Opinions
The
holidaymaker has different priorities to the serious golfer spending a
few days trying to improve his or her golf. It could be argued that a
good golf school would recognize the difference and treat them
accordingly. However, there is, as yet, no golf school that provides
both good golf tuition and full family entertainment, although many golf
school are situated in resorts.
The best golf schools
are those that provide the person asked the question with what they are
looking for, whether that be the best tuition or the best facilities.
Asked the same question the children and the parents will provide
different answers!
