Different Strokes is a software system developed exclusively for golf professionals and instructors.
It identifies a golfer's learning preference and advises the instructor on how to get results.
Do you ever wonder why one professional golf instructor may enjoy a great reputation with some students yet not with others? Do you ever wonder why professional golfers on the tour spend a considerable amount of time searching for a teacher they can be comfortable with? Some even give up and say they can't find one.
Recent research in the field of instruction has examined this issue and has found that not all teaching methods work equally well with all golfers. For example, it is a known fact that if ten students receive the same golf instruction, approximately four students will indicate that they learned a great deal and that the instruction was perfectly tailored to their needs. The other six will say either that it somewhat met their needs or that instruction was not as satisfying as they thought it might be, and would probably not return for more instruction with that instructor. The failure to provide equally effective instruction to all students is neither the instructor's nor the student's fault. Rather, it is the differences in the degree of instructional fit between the instructor and learner that account for most of the variance in learning performance and satisfaction.
More specifically, Different Strokes will:
- Offer a quick, scientifically validated, accurate diagnosis of a student's golfing style;
- Eliminate trial and error in the search for the best teaching method by providing the instructor with the correct instructional match on the very first lesson;
- Increase the effectiveness of instructor-student communication;
- Help select the most appropriate golf instructor for each student or group of students;
- Provide the instructor with an appropriate instructional prescription for each student;
- Keep track of each and every student and instructor;
- Provide the owner with guidelines for improving customer satisfaction in the purchase of golf products and services
