WHY IS NO ONE ASKING THE RELEVANT QUESTION?

What about it? eBay.

Cost like $20, and the patch about $5.

Nice article. You did a good job articulating a lot of what could really help people out in terms of learning/playing the game. 

BTW - I'm sure you aren't, but in this photo, it kinda looks like you are using a reinforcement technique by hitting this young man in the head with a pool noodle every time he commits a swing fault.

Liked the distribution on concepts when you have 1..2 or 3 hours for a 1st class. With strategy you can gain strokes rigth away, cut out a few strokes with short game is something that can be achived in a short amount of time. 
Long game is the most important ascpect if you really want to lower your score but that take time! in that case you need several clases. 
Good Job!

Finished the piece. It’s been cool following your journey in golf.

Great point on the season in Erie being longer than perceived.

You’ve obviously never taken a lesson with @iacas before. That kid got lucky with the pool noodle. He had PVC for me last time I was out there 😜
