Rebecca Dengler Golf - A Better Approach to the Game

If you're reading this, you're looking for a better approach to learning the game of golf.

We all know that golf instruction for a lot of players has not been very helpful. It is a common occurrence that many players get more frustrated with golf instruction rather than improving. In fact, many players and teachers seem to think you need to get worse before you get better! Perhaps this is why many players quit the game altogether.

I promise to teach differently.

This short slide show explains my teaching philosophy and some of the key concepts I employ. Please take a few minutes to view my website. Contact me with any questions. Or find the "Book a Lesson" link below and schedule a lesson at our Wilmington, DE facility.

Simple Instruction with Smaller Steps

Behavioral specialists, researchers, fitness experts and golf pros who really teach more effectively agree on this key concept:

Skills and behaviors can easily be changed for the better if they are taught in simpler and smaller steps.

I am always seeking new ideas and techniques to make me a better teacher. I consulted the best minds in golf, including the Swedish golf coaches who worked with Annika Sorenstam. They all agree most players get too much information while learning and they can't keep up with it all.

Too often the golf swing is made overly-technical and so complicated that improvement is impossible for the average player. "Simpler is better" is a key concept in my teaching, and it has been working successfully for my students for years.

There's More to Golf than the Full Swing The full golf swing is not the whole story!

In fact, full swings make up fewer than 50% of your strokes in a game of golf, yet most players (and many teachers!) spend 90% of their focus on the full swing.

Players need to learn all the skills of the game in their proper proportion. Short game skills are crucial. Putting, alone, makes up more than 40% of all players' shots in a round of golf!

Be Positive!

Positive reinforcement encourages change much more effectively than negative reinforcement.

It is more effective to approach a golf skill by thinking of what you want to do, versus what you do not want to do. For example, instead of telling yourself "don't top the ball," you can more easily learn to "hit the ball in the air."

I want to create an environment where really positive change is possible for all players, from beginners to those playing at tournament level. I invite you to schedule a lesson through this website.

I hope learning and playing golf brings you as much enjoyment as teaching the game does to me!

Current Update

Ed Oliver golf club will be open for play soon, when the snow melts. They were able to do some course renovations, not as many as they would have liked due to the four feet of snow. The resturant and banquet facilities are undergoing renovations and the plans look great. We will keep you up to date on this progress.
We are all looking forward to an exciting 2010.
Best,
Becky
