It’s always nice to get something accomplished in the short period of an hour. If you think about what you might realistically expect out of an hour golf lesson you might say that you would like add to your understanding of what it is that you are doing in your swing and what would be better to do. You would feel like you were going in the right direction, that you had something tangible to think about when you practiced, and maybe even a feel for what you were going to be trying to do. You probably understand that change comes slowly most times, and that improvement is an incremental process wherein you put in the work and wait until something good happens. Of course, it is always nice when something clicks right away, although you have probably had that happen before only to find that the “feel” goes away after a day, or a week, or a month, or whatever, and you find yourself back at the same place again looking for the next tidbit to keep you going.
In this lesson you (and Sean) can clearly see that he has already begun to accomplish the changes we set out to make at the beginning of the lesson. He trusts me to move him in the direction that will make him a better player. If I know my stuff his swing changes will make him a better ball striker.
