Listen "Rob Failes - Aspiring to the Why, the What and the How."
Episode Synopsis
Our guest for this episode is Rob Failes who is the Player Development Leader at the mightily impressive Boars Head Golf Resort in Charlottesville Virginia. As well as been a bachelor of science graduate from Clemson University Rob has been nominated by Golf Digest as a Top 50 teacher in state as well as numerous other accolades in his career to date. What makes Rob stand out to me as a coach off note and one to follow is not only his constant strive to see differing perspectives and relentless pursuit of information but the goal of transferring that learning and knowledge into easy-to-understand delivery methods for his students. As his title would suggest his intent is Player Development and all roads lead to that one goal. From day one that I met Rob he has shown a tenacity to not only look under the hood but to strip it all down and try to rebuild it so he really understood how it all works… Similar to all aspects of life The golf coaching landscape is ever changing and developing and the view of the future is one of more understanding, understanding of learning methods, understanding of communication methods and definitively understanding of our players….Rob Failes is one of the coaches leading that expedition….Guest Instagram : @robfailesgolfSupport the show
