SIMULATORS, SIMULATORS, SIMULATORS

  As simulators have become more affordable and popular,we have seen an influx of simulators in new establishments, homes and garages.

  For recreational golfers, playing Pebble Beach on a

  simulator with your group is the 'fix' for those who live

  in the cold and snow.

  For the golfer who wants to improve during the off 

  season, the simulator can be frustrating, confusing 

  and / or overwhelming. There is so so so much  

  data ball speed, spin, smash factor, face angle, path

  just to name a few.

  As a teaching professional, I suggest you first work  

  with a teacher who can talk and walk you and your

  swing through what the data means and the data that

  YOU should focus your attention to measure

  improvement. Example, if you slice the ball 2 fairways

  off course, you need to focus on path and / or face.

  The teacher will even narrow it to either  path or face.

  You can use the 'trial and experiment' method on your

  own to 'get a closer number' on the simulatator.

  Experimentation adds to the confusion. We ask

  ourselves 'what did I do'? Oh well, I try this this time.

  A golfer who wants to improve needs

  to understand 'cause and effect'. A teaching

  professional  can identify the'cause' and create an

  effective drill to correctthe flaw. After doing the drill (s)

  then validate using the appropriate data to track

  progress.

  If using the simulator to improve your game, the

 teaching professional is crucial in the process.
