can they actually ban u just cos u use a training aid ?
I doubt it but I understand yr sentiments
its a fact though that I have had pros show me what the takeaway should be but u cant be sure yr doing it right without something like dual track or lasers
i prefer dual track to lasers

The pro has issues with me already. I was helping a friend with his game teaching him about a flat left wrist at impact , plane and lag and he improved very quickly. I caught a couple of looks from the pro before he came over and told me I was not allowed to teach anyone at his range. Only CGI "Cranfield Golf Institute" What a joke name Scott Cranfield golf coaches could teach there. He tried to make a jack ass out of me questioning me about the swing and what made me qualified to help someone. Big mistake as I turned it round and asked him questions and it became very clear that the CGI knowledge he was teaching was junk. After the conversation he suggested that I get in touch with Scott and get a job with him. He also said I could come to the range under condition that I do not help anyone. I know Scott personally and have seen him play . He used to teach at a club where I play golf.The guy does not know what he is doing teaching wise but has 40 coaches teaching at 12 golf ranges. He has applied high pressure sales techniques and BS baffles brains mumbo jumbo to the golf industry and has the biggest teaching academy in the UK. By teaching academy this is 40 golf pros plotted up at his 12 ranges where they charge £40/hour and he takes 35%. They are TAUGHT to ask for a block lesson to be paid in advance by CREDIT CARD as people do not look at the money like they do cash. I got this first hand from a decent guy and a coach that could not stand the cynical way they were taught to stripe up customers and part of this included stretching out the lessons and how to catch the customers and not let them go in the first place. Here is his website
I use the dual track in my own teaching, it really is a first class product, students enjoy using it mainly because of the feedback they get from it, it is not too noisey too use on a range, On CGI, 40 teaching pros is a slightly inflated number, and Scott is a first class salesman, but insructor???? not sure TGM is part of his instructor training programme.

Ian : This is from Scott's website
"Obviously a personal coaching session is the ideal and for that we currently have 40+ highly trained coaches at 12 sites eager to help you. There will also be opportunities to work with me personally at one of my seminars:- 'How to Develop the Mind of a Champion' and 'Magical Concentration', so visit regularly."
I very much doubt TGM is part of his training as Scott teaches a throwaway flip swing and has his own special KFC type recipe despite being the being the "world's most knowledgeable golfer"
"Like most young professionals my original ambition when I started my career in 1985 was to become the world's number one player. After four years of dedicated trial and error I was probably much closer to being the world's most knowledgeable golfer - and perhaps the most frustrated. However, these research years proved invaluable for my now chosen and cherished career of coaching others."
I know Scott was into sales before he went back into golf . I think it was selling double glazing. Richard Boxall had a little pop at him on Sky TV recently with his " Nice to see Bladley Dredge is playing well now he has parted with his coach". Scott is a salesman not an instructor. I have a friend a Europro player that knows of many players he has ruined.
