Nurturing Talent Of Budding Golf Enthusiasts

Sports is all about instincts, aptitude, a burning passion to succeed, physical fitness and mentoring.  While the first four qualities are inborn in an individual and/or developed over a period of time, mentoring is an external influence that shapes a person with skill into an accomplished sportsperson.  The external influence has to be strong enough to propel a participant to the podium.  Golf is no different. Golf has gained in popularity and acceptance. The aura of unattainability has vanished with the advent of numerous programs on television which have decoded the art of playing golf.

Passion for game and zeal to impart training

Many distinguished golf pros like JOSEPH SAIGH have taken up mentoring and tutoring as a full time career. Their passion for the game and desire to help it grow in popularity has resulted in their training venture. This has resulted in many enthusiasts getting basic and advanced training in the sport.  As more and more people venture into training, it is vital that the right trainer is identified.

Combination to succeed

Ideally a trainer would first go through the basics, even if the individual has had some kind of experience. This is primarily to identify flaws, if any, and suggest corrections. To launch into a sport with flawed posture or stance will reflect in the output in a manner that will become difficult to correct at a later stage. People are known to hang on to incorrect positions despite being made aware of it, for the simple reason that the changes were suggested at a later stage. Before a flaw enters into the comfort zone, the mentor sets about the task of correcting it. After the stance and posture are set right, the tutor then moves onto the grip and the swing.

The whole training will be enriched with experiences of tutors like JOE SAIGH and the knowledge base that he has accumulated over the years. The student will gain considerably and this in turn would help speed up the process of achieving high standards.

A tutor needs to have the ability to impart training, merely possessing knowledge and experience will not help in tutoring. A successful tutor is one who is able to systematically impart training in an easy format, he should have the innate ability to convey the nuances of gameplay and techniques though oral instructions and by demonstrating the same.  The demonstrations should involve the students, and not be a mere display of technique. The student needs to be able to understand the reason behind certain instructions, this would give the student a better perspective of the lesson and thereby embrace the changes. 

Talent spotting

Talent needs to be spotted, nurtured, to be refined, to be enriched with experience to attain perfection.  Perfection helps to succeed. All of this needs to be held together with the right temperament. A professional coach and a talented student can complement each other with success that actually brings satisfaction to the coach as he sees his ward perform admirably.
