Last summer, I was playing the best golf of my life. This occurred after a series of lessons the previous Fall and Winter. My instructor had what I thought were unorthodox methods but they worked great for me, my body type and swing type.
This past Fall I was OK then things started going downhill (or uphill as case may be in golf...) in the Winter and Spring.
Then, my instructor quits golf. This guy is originally from Cleveland Ohio and spent much of his golf career in the Naples/Ft. Myers area. Somehow he came here and started working at our place - primarily as an Instructor.
About four months ago, I see him in the shop and he says he is getting married, likes living here, wants to have a family and needs a steady form of employment. He is a first assistant and must find a job as a Golf Director to make a good living. Those jobs are scarce. You have to find a good facility where somebody is retiring or has been fired - and then have quite a bit of borrowing power or operating capital to buy inventory and set yourself up.
So he decides to take a job in industrial sales here. He is gone in two weeks and my game is sliding down the gutter. Whatever I had last year is almost gone.
So today, I tracked him down and asked him to help me out. Gonna get the video camera and go over to the RTJ facility and use their range...
Somethings gotta give because it is getting ugly.
I've never looked forward to lessons so much in my life.
