Summary

#977 Summary Our guest this week is Anthony McCarthy, a golf coach based in Spain, about the importance of finding the right coach, and the need for personalized instruction. We discuss the relationship between coaches and players, the challenges of golf coaching, and the future of golf instruction. Anthony emphasizes the significance of trust in coaching and the necessity of tailoring instruction to individual players' needs.Takeaways Golf coaching is fundamentally a relationship built on trust. Finding the right coach involves experimentation and personal connection. Personalized instruction is crucial for effective learning in golf. Coaching should focus on what works for the individual rather than generalized advice. The majority of golf content is geared towards elite players, leaving average golfers underserved. Coaches must be adaptable and aware of their students' unique needs and goals. Let's play golf together next Spring!

0:59.3	Maybe the advice needs to be better or how you conduct the session needs to be better.
1:03.8	So really, I'm positive when people come to me and say, I just get the impression that
1:09.3	what I'm saying isn't really the answer because
