Professional Golf Instructor Training

[Yoda]

Got this PM yesterday and asked for permission to post it, along with my reply. For those interested in becoming a true authority on the Golf Stroke, this is where it begins. Certainly it is not the only way, but it is a sure way.

Lynn,

On Sunday I will start my GSEB education here in Stockholm,Sweden. Any last words that I should think about?

BTW, thanks for a great site!

Javier

Hello Javier!

Thank you for your kind words about our site. Regarding your GSEB training in The Golfing Machine, here is a 10-point guideline:

1. Memorize the Table of Contents, including all chapter numbers, titles and sub-titles.

2. Memorize the 24 Components and their numbers in Chapter 7-0.

3. Memorize the Component Variations and designations in both Stroke Patterns (Hitting / 12-1-0 and Swinging / 12-2-0).

4. Memorize the 21 items in The Machine concept (1-L).

5. Memorize the 22 items in Stage One of the Basic Motion Curriculum (12-5-1) and discuss to some extent the items Stages Two and Three (12-5-2 and 12-5-3).

6. Memorize the Power Package Components in Chapter 6 and discuss to some extent their application during the Stroke -- Hitting and Swinging.

7. Memorize the Twelve Sections of the Stroke (Chapter 8 ), and discuss to some extent the Section alignments -- Hitting and Swinging -- in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3).

8. Memorize the paragraph names and numbers in Chapter 2 (A through S) and give (to some extent) the subject matter of each.

9. Define, locate and discuss to some extent, the items in the Glossary and in the Index.

10. Read -- and watch -- LynnBlakeGolf.com every day!



That should keep you busy until Sunday, Javier.



Obviously, we're into a little 'work overload' here, but you get the idea. But if you could do these things, you would not only be prepared for your GSEB class, you could lead it. And you would be well on your way to becoming a true authority on the Golf Stroke.

Best of all, when you have completed this little punch list, you will have achieved a technical framework that will enable you to reach your potential as a Professional Golf Instructor. A worthy goal indeed.

Go for it!
