793: Erik Schjolberg is a PGA Instructor in Arizona who learned early in his career that the best way to learn about teaching golf is by listening to, and watching other instructors apply their trade. With that mindset, he found and got hooked on Golf Smarter, which lead him to discover the lessons of Tony Manzoni. This was a blessing for him because Manzoni’s methods were similar to his. But he was surprised that he’d never heard of Tony before. In this episode we learn more about Erik’s teaching methods, how he encourages all his students to use the PerfectMotion App (episodes 771 & 772), and refutes many of the old wive’s tales that golfers are convinced are their own downfall.We’re on the countdown to celebrate 800 episodes of the Golf Smarter podcast on July 6, 2021.
