Caveat obviously being his kids have access to world-class instruction during
the range time that they do have.

But obviously he knows more than basically anyone and you can't fault his logic.

I also like the concept of just learning to score. My instructor when I was a young one was to learn how to score. We would only play the reds or even shorter until we could learn to score.

If I had a kid interested in golf and wanted to groom a talent or prodigy my take would be:

1. Does that kid want to spend every day of sunlight and every day of the year on the course. If the answer is yes, than they have a shot
if the answer is no, that no matter what amount of money a parent is willing to fork over, chances are not in your favor.
Golf more than almost any other sport requires that imo.. You basically have to be a golf nerd with no other interests, friends, etc and just LOVE to spend every minute of sunlight on the course/range. But I agree that the kids that can navigate a course/score will likely trump the relentless range hitters.

2. Spend 80%+ of your practice 100 yards in
3. Move somewhere warm.
4. Homeschool
