Time on the Lesson Tee
A typical lesson at Donna Helms School of Golf consists of the student hitting
a few practice balls just to warm up. From this point the student is video taped
and brought before a monitor to compare his swing with that of the professionals.
A stop-action, slow motion camera is used to allow the student to see each frame
and position before going back to the tee. As the student and teacher discuss
what they saw on the monitor, the actual lesson begins with a short check list.
Grip, set up and alignment are foremost in the lesson. Basics and fundamentals
are reviewed at the beginning of each session. As each student is told at the
first lesson, “the golf swing is the teacher’s idea until the student’s muscles
respond and the mind gets out of the way. When muscle memory kicks in, the student
can take the swing to the course and be competitive.” The lessons at Donna Helms
School of Golf are light and fun. Life is a reality, golf is a game…let’s enjoy
the time we have in both. |
