Independence School Input

Tim is a great teaching pro. He spent the appropriate amount of time with me, given the fact that my two friends were equally in need of help. I am glad there were only three of us; it could have diluted the time for us all. He had a tough challenge with three different people, all with differing skill levels, and I think he did a great job with all of us. He imparted some great insight into my swing flaws, and I did get some immediate results with some of his inputs. I took his instructions to heart and made efforts to implement his thoughts on how to correct my flaws. I shot a one-over par 71 yesterday and could have shot my age, had I made two short birdie putts. As a 69-year-old guy, Tim helped me focus on things in my control and didn’t try to re-invent my swing. I broke 70 as a young 13-year-old, and I have strayed from the game for years at a time. I wanted this school to help me get back to playing to my potential, despite my physical shortcomings and my age. Tim has made me confident that I can repeat as a Super-Senior Club Champion again this coming year.Less than satisfactory points: • I was disappointed that we lost 9 holes of play on Tuesday because a tournament got rescheduled to our time slot due to the previous weather. Not anyone's fault, but I was hoping for some form of compensation. We paid for and expected three full rounds of golf. • Breakfast was a mess. We were told there would be breakfast for three days. I don't think a donut or a bagel qualifies as breakfast. We ended up eating at our hotel for the last two days. Please don't say there is breakfast included unless it is breakfast. Some guys have dietary requirements, and we had one of them in our group. • I would have appreciated a little more time with the Shot Monitor. We each got about 25 swings on the monitor. Although helpful, there wasn’t much to check or reinforce our corrective actions on our swings. • I requested help with my intake message about clearing my left side and helping me with my back injury. Never really got into that at all. • Maybe a little less time chipping and pitching and more time with contact drills. • I spent a considerable amount of time researching various companies and their offerings. I chose this school because of the proximity to my home and what was promised in the original course description provided. For the amount that I paid to attend this course, I was slightly disappointed. Having never done a full immersion course, I didn't know what to expect, except what I was told would happen. It didn’t happen as scheduled and was, therefore, unexpected. Your acknowledgement/introductory letter and website indicated we would start at 8 AM each day. We never did that. There was at least an hour or so each day that we could have scheduled training, but we didn’t do that. On the last day, we arrived early to make the most of the facility on our own. We were a captive audience. I feel we wasted time by not taking advantage of some type of training, especially since the schedule showed we were to start at 8 AM. We were prepared to start every day at 8 AM as advertised.• We were told that the My Golfing School app would accept our swings for a pre-event evaluation before arriving at the school. That was never completed. I feel that there is a shortcoming in that app. It would have been helpful for Tim to have our analysis before we arrived at the school, as the system indicated and was intended.
