That's a good guy right there. If he'd said "hey, can I give you a couple pointers" you might not have liked the cut of his jib and passed up the good advice and said no thanks. There are so many people who can't learn because of pride or just simply thinking they are ready to teach others what they don't even know. It's good to keep an open mind....My shooting instructor. I owe him alot for my training. I was lucky when he found me a few years ago. Funny story, when I met him we pulled in next to each other at the range; both driving H2s. When I got out, he said "Nice truck". I said thanks, and walked to my bench. I'm shooting for about 10 minutes, making all the usual noob mistakes. All of the sudden he kicks my heel and tells me to move my heel to the right. "I'm thinking "Who the ****is this guy? Then he turned my shoulders, pushed in my left elbow, made me bring the gun up to my head (Not head down to the gun), and said "Shoot". So by now after 3 words and alot of nudging, I'm REALLY thinking "Who the **** is this guy"?!?!
I shot, and the first thing I thought is "WHO THE ****IS THIS GUY??!!?!?!!? Bulls eyes.
Turns out he had years of experience in instructing at Front Sight, over seas etc..
6 or 7 classes later, we're pretty good friends. He helps people for free all over the place at the range too. The culture needs guys like him.
I am not a golfer and have only been a couple few times, but my wife's sister's husband started to give me pointers and my game immediately improved even though I didn't really ask for the advice...... I think some people are competing against themselves when they seem incapable of taking outside input.....
