BEHAVIORAL GOLF INSTRUCTION SEND PROTOCOL IN ADVANCE RECORD PERFORMANCE DATA FIRST STATE CLEAR INSTRUCTION STUDENT WRITES NOTES CALCULATE LARGEST SHOT REDUCTION AREA SHAPE CHANGE GRADUALLY FEEDBACK TO SELF-CORRECT STATE LESSON GOAL ON THAT RECORD, ACCUMULATE DATA POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT S MAJOR PRACTICE CHANGES PLAN TO MAINTAIN IT Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
NEXT: TRANSFORM KNOWLEDGE INTO PERFORMANCE • SHAPE THE CHANGE GRADUALLY, • SELF-CORRECTING FEEDBACK, • MEASURE PERFORMANCE • PRACTICE MORE & DIFFERENTLY • APPLY CORRECTLY ON THE COURSE • MAINTAIN FORCAREERYOUR CAREER Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
SHAPING • SCULPTOR GRADUALLY SHAPES A BUST OF A GOLFER Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
NEED FOR SHAPING • AT TOP OF SWING, CLUBHEAD IS AT 0 MPH. AT IMPACT, 70 TO 115 MPH • IN 1/5TH OF A SECOND 20 TIMES THE ACCELERATION OF A FERRARI • TOO FAST TO CHANGE Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
SHAPING • AT FULL SPEED CANNOT CONTROL, EVALUATE, OR CHANGE SWING • BALL FLIES IN ALL DIRECTIONS • DO NO START AT FULL SPEED OR JUMP TOO SOON TO FULL SWING • INSTEAD, USE SHORT, SLOW SWINGS WITH EASY ADVANCES Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
EXPERIMENT: WHY YOU NEED TO USE SHAPING • IF STROBE LIGHT GOES ON AT TOP OF SWING, “MISS THE BALL.” • RESULT: NO ONE COULD MISS THE BALL • CONCLUSION: HAVE THE STUDENT LEARN THE SWING CHANGE AT SPEEDS 5 OR 10 TIMES SLOWER Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
SHAPING: CAN TEACH ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING • BREAK INTO MULTIPLE STEPS • EACH ONLY A SMALL ADVANCE • HIGHLY LIKELY THE STUDENT WILL EXHIBIT IT CORRECTLY ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT OR QUICKLY. • SET AND MEET A MEASURABLE STANDARD Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
SHAPING STEPS:BENEFITS OF • WITH ULTRA SLOW SWING: PLAYER CAN OBSERVE, CONTROL, EVALUATE AND CHANGE • BETTER PERFORMANCE, SOONER. • PERCEIVES STEADY PROGRESS • ENTHUSIASTIC PLAYER Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
SHAPING: WHEN TO USE IT • ALL BEGINNERS • ALL EXPERIENCED GOLFERS NOT HITTING SHOT AFTER SHOT CONSISTENTLYWELL • PGA OF AMERICA FREE 10-MIN. LESSON, 1,OOO GOLFERS, DID NOT SEE ONE SHAPING PROCESS • MY FAULT Behavioral Golf Instruction, Email to edfeeney@ApplyGolfLessons.com
