When comparing a good teacher to a great teacher, how many methods does each one have?

• A. A good teacher has one method a great teacher has many methods
• B. Both have one method
• C. Great has one method and good has many methods
• D. Both have many methods

Answer: (A)

Adaptability in teaching strategies is the idea here. A good teacher tends to rely on a single effective approach, while a great teacher builds a toolbox of many methods to match each golfer’s needs, situation, and learning style. In practice, that means a great teacher can switch between demonstrations, verbal cues, practice drills, guided feedback, video analysis, and varying practice plans to help a golfer understand and feel the change in their swing or game. This variety matters because different learners respond to different cues and formats, and the ability to tailor the approach accelerates improvement. The other options don’t fit because they either erase the distinction between good and great, reverse it, or claim both have the same number of methods.
