Are there a lot of student's this "slow" at understanding what a teacher wants you to try? He took forever and still don't know if he ever even understood how to appoach the ball. I think my 4 yr old could get that faster.

The problem here is not the guy being stupid. It should be compared to a situation when you have to re-learn something you normally do automatically.

Put your tees in your left pocket for a change. Note that for some time your hand will always search the right pocket first. Even though you would answer anyone that your tees are in your left pocket.
