Larry Hamilton went beyond a 30x30 indoor studio and into a 4500 sq foot studio last year.  We’re going to chat about how that first year went and what changes he’s making for the coming year. 

We cover everything.  How he get’s students into his programs, how many of his core clients convert, and the specific coaching programs he’s running.   He also talks about what he works on during the winter and how he really enjoys the indoor season.

Chris Foley lives up in the northern part of Minnesota. So figuring out a plan for winter programming is essential for him.

He focusses on getting middle high school players into a winter long program. We dive into what that entails, the price, and how many you can expect to convert from your typical core summer students.

If you’re thinking about taking some trips Chris talks about his experience running those as well.

Vision54 is taking players onto the course. No way around it. Lynn shares why it’s become vital for them and why learning “in context” is essential.

No more Scrape and Hit!

If you don’t get anything out of this episode. You weren’t listening because Lynn is delivering some AMAZING content.

We’re going to learn how Lynn views teaching.  She runs through the format of a lesson and why it makes sense to format it that way.  If you’re struggling to build rapport and get people to improve.  I think Lynn shares the best way to do that. 

"I’m communicating and supporting human beings."

We also talk about how to work with students.  Why you need to see players on the course, so that you can understand what they actually do when they’re playing the game on the course.   Lynn tells an amazing story of working with a player not the golf course and what they were able to accomplish in 6 or 9 holes. 

I didn’t teach golf…  I taught golf swing

Lynn Marriott might be speaking directly to you in this interview.  We’re talking about breaking out of the traditional instruction paradigm and working on actually helping people play better golf.  We’re going to define this about 10 minutes in and chat about how it affects everything Lynn and Pia do at Vision54.

We start form the very beginning in this part.  Where and how she got started.   What she was focused on and the theories that drove her.   This is intermixed with fantastic stories going along with all the points she makes.

Lynn really teaches some amazing lessons that every instructor needs to hear if they’re looking to get better.
