People mistrust (and even fear) that which they do not understand. That mistrust and fear is exacerbated when the 'redeeming' message is delivered without empathy -- and even with arrogance -- in a language they do not understand.

The mind of a Golfer -- whether Instructor, Student or Performer -- must be won. It cannot be commanded.

How can perceptions be changed?

Adopt the approach of Homer Kelley:

Resolute in Principle...

Strong in Character...

But gentle in Spirit and respectful of his fellow man.

In short...

The Humble Approach.
