I thouroughly enjoyed reading your comments and feel the manner in which we teach golf must be altered.

There are many pages on this site that deal with this topic and I am more than happy to answer any questions related to this.
I hope you enjoy reading through the material on the Private Member Page and welcome any relevant comments you may have.

Leela was motivated by her desire to learn and thouroughly enjoyed the process which lead to her inevitable success/performance.
