ACCELERATE the Learning Process

That IS the goal.

Is that the message you're getting?

Conventional golf theory suggests a step-by-step learning process in which you must master one thing before moving on to the next.  Slow.  And boring.

Mastering every detail takes TIME.  So how do we ACCELERATE THE PROCESS?

We do it by addressing more details at the same time by focusing on a bigger process!

Here's an example:  Greg Norman learned to hit the ball long by swinging hard and worrying about direction later.  He didn't use a step-by-step process adding distance a few yards at a time.

Here's another example:  The game is played on an uneven surface, so why is it taught -- and performance mandated -- on a flat surface?

The Golfer Positioning System (G P S) is a "Macro" system that includes what you face on the golf course.  G P S doesn't isolate performance to an unreachable goal.

The bigger process -- G P S -- involves including different conditions under which the game is played as part of the system from the beginning.  You have to be just as ready to hit a ball on an uneven surface as you do on a flat surface.  This provides great reference for what works on the golf course!  We can then address details as they arise...  And if it works on the golf course, learning is not limited, it is ACCELERATED!!!
