Don't have a grandfather that loved the game (like I was fortunate enough to)? Let Konnect give you the tools that are the next best thing to a golf-loving grampy. Here W.L. Hetfield (on right) is hoisting a trophy won at Plainfield Country Club in 1962, shown one year older than yours truly 😟. This was 15 years before the first first assistant golf professional invented calligraphy, and I guess just prior to the invention of the ruler and lined paper. So with no golf loving gramps, chances are your mom or dad did not figure out how to love the game, which means YOU are behind schedule in getting to at least sociable competence with this great game. Listen, I ain't your grand-pappy, but we are here to get you on track with the most commodious club in town, great equipment and the best instruction available to get you course ready. I dare you to come take a single lesson (at the member rate) with one of our 2 full-time instructors. Let us help you forgive your Paw-paw for not giving you your first set of clubs like this privileged person. Grampy grudges are a bad look on anyone, so you're welcome. Book your trial lesson today (membership not necessary to take a single lesson, but is, should you wish to take on any lesson or prax regimen). DM me to schedule. Next task: Get a taste for hoisting the hardware like Judge Hetfield!

Does the way we learn to teach golf hinder the process of learning to play? I was speaking with a potential new partner last week and we arrived at this question. Learning to be a PGA Professional is a technical process. We learn the mechanics of the swing, the interaction between club and ball and many many other technical details of getting the ball in the hole. I’d argue that no-one has a deeper knowledge of the technical side of golf as a PGA Pro. But is that the best grounding to teach the game? Without a doubt, that technical foundation is helpful, especially when working with low handicap golfers looking to find the final pieces to their puzzle. But for everyone else, does it just muddy the waters? Our approach to learning at ORBIS GOLF is skills based coaching. We focus on the outcome and work out fun ways to help students acquire the skills necessary to complete a task. Helping students to engage with the learning process has to come before the technical detail. If you don’t have engaged students, then they won’t be coming back for the next lesson! I know the PGA qualification has come on a long way since I took it, so I’m not an expert on the most recent developments. But I do think that we PGA Professionals, as the custodians of golf’s technical knowledge, need to better understand how we can best apply that for the benefit of the student and the game. I’d love to hear your views on this. What are the most important elements of coaching for you? #golfcoach #golfcoaching #pgaprofessional

Interesting question from our CEO Rob Spurrier. We know that a PGA Professional can be the most powerful driver of positive outcomes across a golf business. But can the way we are taught to coach sometimes hinder the process? #golfcoaching

Believing you can do anything is the key to staying motivated on achieving your goals. We see the attitudes of our kids in our programs change week by week. They go from believing “I can’t play the game” to “I can do this”. Over the summer, we even had some of our kids teach our interns how to hold a golf club and swing. We want to create golf enthusiasts who will play and love the game, and teach others how to play too. Nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind to it. #flgf #finerlifegolf #kidsgolf #golf #motivation #mindset #anythingispossible

𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 Teaching young golfers how to play the game is always fun... and shows them a game they can enjoy their whole life. Teaching young golfers how to strengthen their focus can also be really fun... And shows them a skill they can apply to all aspects of their life.

How do we KNOW that FlingGolf has been played on close to 2000 courses in 35 countries? Our players and course owners can submit a quick form to us telling us the courses they've played, as well as additional information that can help other players with a decision on which courses to play and pay. Mind you, we BELIEVE that the real number is closer to 4000 courses where FlingGolf has been played, because we know that many players do not submit every course they've played on. Being seamless with traditional #golf and acceptance by nearly every golf course approached is what makes this #growth possible.

💫We often forget many intermediate golfers were not taught about anger, frustration, bad attitude, anxiety and fear when playing golf. 💯The ancient brain takes these feelings, behaviors & thoughts and floods our muscles with neurotransmitters ( cortisol and adrenaline). ✅Heart races , blood pressure sky rockets, breathing increases and the fight or flight system can kick in. ✅Kiss your golf game scoring goodbye! You can’t control muscles or golfing thoughts when this happens! ✅Go get a cooler and 6 pack put it in your golf cart let a buddy be the designated driver and have fun! Forget anger! 😰Stop the negativity, blame, frustration it’s killing your game. 🏌️Golf has enough mis-hits without the anger and hostility with oneself and more! 📚This is not taught to most golfers by coaches! It’s a key part of the Inner Game. 🤬Get angry with poor coaching and play another round later! It can get better. 🤔Neuro Golf Academy specializes in the Inner Game and best practices when teaching golf students! ⭐️Stop wasting time and money.
