Stop Hoping to Teach a Tour Pro – It Won’t Fix Your Promotion Problems.

By John Graham

The main thing a young instructor can do to get in front of people is… to get in front of people.

In days gone by, the model to get known was to teach tour players and hope they mention your name so you get asked by magazines to submit articles. That model is long dead. Instructors no longer need to rely on tour players to promote themselves.

Give a Little to Get a Lot!

The opportunity provided me with a base level of income upon which I could begin growing my private consulting business.
