Welty's approach has won high praise from students. I number you amongst the best teachers I have ever been exposed to. You possess all the great qualities of great teachers. Welty is an apostle of visualization, the sports psychology theory of success that encourages adherents to imagine positive results. And the recently refurbished La Costa Resort is certainly conducive to pleasant visions, offering an inviting spa, private residences, seven restaurants and nightly entertainment.
Instruction is also a bargain.
This school teaches more than 10,000 students a year, and dozens of people are usually poised on a driving range, hitting balls until their hands and bodies ache. Affable instructors try to personalize the back to basics teaching, but the school's general approach is assembly line. Groups of golfers practice the full swing, chipping or putting for an allotted time, then each group moves to a different activity. Soon, it's time to switch again, to make yet another transition. But operating at attractive resorts nationwide, John Jacobs does give students a wide range of getaway choices, and a golf school can be a time to enjoy more than lessons.
