Truth #6 - Coaching WorksIn Truth #6, Dr. Rick Jensen describes something that is at the core of our own Golf Matrix philosophy. He says, "Where lessons don't work, coaching does." In addition to teaching swing mechanics, ball flight laws and correct movements, a coach will help you transfer skills to the golf course, make good on-course decisions and manage your mental state in competition. A coach will advise you about your fitness and your equipment. In other words, a real coach will help you to shoot lower scores by helping you to learn the whole game, not just to swing the club.Master the Game...If all this sounds a bit familiar, it should. It's exactly what we mean when we say, "Master the Game, Not Just Its Techniques." Dom coined the phrase during his own playing career after spending over 200 hours with Rick. So, in each session, our coaches are thinking precisely that way. Here's what coaching looks like:
