trokes
EL>how will they learn?
If a golfer practices the wrong swing over-and-over again, or even 
swings differently every time he hits the ball, he will have some 
terrible habits to break when it is time for him to learn to do it 
correctly.  Some theory should come first - left arm straight, bend at 
the knees, shift your weight, etc.  Without that, he might well miss the 
ball altogether.

Really?  Here in New York State one must study the rules of the road and 
pass a written test before you can get even a learner's permit to get 
behind the wheel of a car.  It is simply not acceptable to ram into 
things for 12 months before we expect you to keep the car on a straight path.
