The best learning is when all 3 are accomplished. Great lessons do this. With all 3 touched upon and explained greatness happens. With only 1 mediocre results, with 2 slightly better than mediocre, with 3 you reach beyond your perceived potential.


BUT, some folks are happy with mediocre, some with slightly more than mediocre, and others seek to maximize their potential. Nothing wrong with your acceptability quotient. The you tubers and magazine readers become better in their mind but not in their score.

Any PGA Pro can teach the first 1 or 2, more gifted PGA Teachers hit all 3. The best players are not the best teachers and vice versa.

New methodologies are making all 3 possible in shorter periods of time. But, as usual it's what the students become happy with. Golf is not a moving ball sport, no reaction time needed, its proper mechanics in the golf swing that move the ball. Knowing those can turn mediocre into extremely better golfers.

Golf is cow pasture pool. You need to know how to control the Q ball around the table.
That control makes for more extreme fun and sense of accomplishment. But, not everyone wants that.

You watch someone perform the motion.

Someone explains the motion to you.

You "feel" the motion.

If a teacher (& student) doesn't understand these basics, it's nearly impossible to learn.
