Tom Motley (@motleygolf), one of the award-winning coaches in our community, has written a thought-provoking piece for Clippd.com on the difference between a golf coach and a golf teacher. We'd love to hear the thoughts of the other coaches, teachers, instructors, Heads of Instruction (and more) on his article.

Well said Tom! Without data the player and the coach do have a proper understanding of strengths and weaknesses!

@Dan Better ball flights don't contribute to lower scores???? Data drives everything but ultimately the best way to shoot lower scores is to hit better shots.

Hi @hugh.marr, I don’t think Tom was saying that. What he said is “I’m not saying fixing ball flight issues is unimportant…” Perhaps I should have rephrased it to say “of course, fixing ball flight issues is important…”

@Dan Use the data to guide us towards the ball flight that needs fixed:)
