"Live" Virtual Instruction

1. What is the difference between a Remote “Live” Virtual Lesson and an Online Lesson?  

A REMOTE “LIVE” VIRTUAL LESSON is an in-person golf lesson delivered over video conferencing. It’s live, there’s a back and forth, you get immediate feedback during the lesson, and make changes on the spot. ONLINE LESSONS are based around video analysis of your swing. You upload swing videos, and Todd breaks them down, tells you where you’re going wrong, and provides some guidance and (sometimes) supplementary video about how to fix it. 

2. Which is better, a Remote “Live” Virtual Lesson or an Online Lesson?

Neither is “better.” Both are good for different things. An ONLINE LESSON gives you a breakdown of what you need to fix right now in your golf swing. It always includes some suggestions on how HOW to fix it, but that process, and whether or not you are doing it right, is up to you. A REMOTE LIVE lesson is ideal for working on faults and making changes during the lesson under Todd’s tutelage. 

For most clients, the BEST solution is a COMBINATION of the two. Start with an ONLINE LESSON, and then schedule a REMOTE LIVE VIRTUAL lesson to work on the faults outlined in the ONLINE LESSON. 

3. Which video conferencing platform does Todd use for the Remote “Live” Virtual Lesson?

The majority of REMOTE “LIVE” VIRTUAL lessons Todd has given to date have used FaceTime and Zoom.

4. I am not technically inclined, are these difficult to set up?

The only real requirement to making these work is figuring out where to place your phone, tablet, or laptop so that Todd can see your swing during the lesson. Propping your phone up on your golf bag in the backyard can work. Indoors, a shelf or piece of furniture can work fine. 

If you have a Bluetooth headset or headphones, those can be convenient because you can communicate with Todd away from your device. This is not a requirement.

If you can make a FaceTime call or join a video conferencing meeting, you can take a REMOTE LIVE lesson.
