Probably! It takes time to change a habit of a lifetime. Many students fall back into the same bad habit without even realizing that they have done so. During the first few lessons we are typically working on the same 1 or 2 problems that were identified in the very initial lesson. Once the student feels comfortable with the new motion and it has become "second nature" then its time to work on the next piece. 

No, it is not. The student has to be willing to put in the EFFORT and dedicate their time to practice effectively. Meurig is a firm believer in the 3,000 reps rule in order to change a habit of a lifetime. The student also has to accept that there may be a few bumpy stretches of road along the way in order to improve (2 steps forward one step back). Dragon Golf provides the student with multiple tools and drills to accelerate learning and minimize the bumpy times. 

"In golf, what you think you’re doing isn’t what you’re actually doing"

This is why Dragon Golf Instruction invested in the state-of-the-art JC Video System that incorporates high speed video cameras and feedback to accurately diagnose swing flaws. Students are issued specific drills (when needed) that can be sent via text or email.  

In January 2021 continued investing into technology with Flightscope X3 3D radar which provides 53 unique measurements of club, ball and swing data to further narrow down swing flaws and provide feedback for both student and teacher. 

In January 2021 will also bring BodiTak Pressure Mapping System to Dragon Golf Instruction. This system will give students real time data on how they interact with the ground to improve weight shift and power during their swing. 

  

 

From years of experience Meurig understands that most students have a number of flaws in their mechanics that have become second nature. Dragon Golf develops a game plan for each student who really wants to improve. It takes time, a tremendous amount of practice and repetition (3,000 reps) to work the poor mechanics out of muscle memory. However, by working on one piece of the puzzle at a time, the changes are more manageable and have a higher probability of becoming a natural part of the swing. 

A lesson with Dragon Golf Instruction will include drills and homework to practice on the range to help improve a student's game more quickly. Meurig is a HUGE fan of students doing repetitions without a ball in front of them or even without using a club. It's all about changing "muscle memory" and developing new patterns in a student's swing and mechanics. The 3,000 repetitions rule does not mean that you have to hit 3,000 balls. THAT IS THE KEY!
