Golf Monitor And Your Lessons

As everyone is worried about the economy, you as a golf instructor need to find a way to make what you do more distinct than ever before. Many instructors are shying away from purchasing a launch monitor citing the economy. What they are really doing is costing themselves money in the long run as a launch monitor can be a way that they differentiate their services from others.

Golf students are more in tune with technology than ever before, thus adding technology to their lesson would separate you from many other instructors. As the technology has been improved the price has also made it purchasing a launch monitor more reasonable.

With the purchase of a golf swing monitor, golf professionals have been able to create multiple streams of revenue for themselves. As these golf swing monitors play an important role in club fitting, they can also be rented to corporate tournament or even parties. This is another opportunity for you to run the machine and introduce yourself and your services.

As you already know, the new technology allows everyone from fitness professionals, to scientists to golf professionals to study “the swing” in a way that has not been possible in the past. So the question becomes “How is this going to help my students?” That is why we all teach the game, right?

Here are five ways a golf launch monitor can help your students improve their game:

1. As a student begins a series of lessons, you will be able to establish a starting line or base point of where they are beginning. This is valuable because as we all know, all of our students do not automatically drop 10-15 shots after one series of lessons, especially the better players. That just happens on TV!

2. By using the new technology, it will show you some strengths, weaknesses and tendencies in your student’s game that you physically cannot see with your blind eye.

3. Once you have the baseline you can track the students progress throughout the series. Again, we all have had the student who gets frustrated for no apparent reason. With the stats from the launch monitor you can give them the facts of their improvement.

4. Although I do not recommend it, you literally will have feedback from every single swing that the student makes. Obviously, how much you want to discuss with the student would depend on your teaching style as well as the student’s learning style.

5. A launch monitor allows you to set quantifiable goals with your students. This changes the students mentality to I want to hit it farther to I want to increase my club head speed 3mph. As 3mph does not sound like that much, they will see the goal as easier to accomplish.

Do not be intimidated in these economic times. It is time to set yourself apart from the other competition in your area with a golf launch monitor. The small investment now will pay large dividends not only to you and your pocket but also to all of your students.
