To the OP: Great coaches work front-to-back.
They work grip, stance and takeaway first.
They know that solidifying the static and starting skills makes the swing easier to teach.
Bigger picture:
1. Beginners need to understand the golf learning process
2. Pros need to learn to teach and communicate better with beginners
Beginners are basic consumers. "I need a TV this size, for this space. What are my options and what is the best deal?"
We all know that is not the learning process.
But, many beginners have an economic barrier to a "series of lessons."
Customer: BORING. What am I paying for? I want to know how to hit a draw. Hit it 50 yards more. Blah, blah, blah.
At this point, the pro has a business decision.
The good pro that starts at the beginning explains how the boring aspects of initial lessons contribute to the back end.
The bad pros happen upon a tip that lasts one day (WOOD) but has the student coming back because they hit it so good.
