Would people pay more to train with an expert?
Following on from the 'New instructors - getting that 1st job' thread, here's another aspect to mull over.
In semi retirement, I'm getting into the golf scene. Want to know about golf instructors ... My local young lady professional charges me £18 for thirty minutes one to one instruction.
However, if I were to pop across to Florida to take instruction from the guy who taught, Greg Norman, Nick Faldo and Nick Price, ie David Leadbetter, I'd better be prepared to fork out his standard fee of $10,000 per one day lesson ... and he's fully booked for three months.
So why are we 'crusty old farts' with ten thousand hours instruction time, working for fifty quid an hour?
Just as a conversation starter and best wishes to all the other COFs.
We were 300 hour youngsters once. Just keep your heads down lads and best wishes in getting that first job. I'll be leaving one vacancy quite soon.
