225. THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP 2026 PREVIEW

10:31Tom NeedhamGUEST
I think what's interesting is the fact that this course is a real shopmaker's course, as you pointed out earlier on, it's not very long.

And it's those who can really use the wind, use the contours, place the ball in the right position on the green course.

T
4:59Tom NeedhamGUEST
So I think I was frustrated at the output or success rates, and that's my fault, not the students' fault, of the lower ability end of students that I was teaching English.
T
5:12Tom NeedhamGUEST
A lot to do with the fact that the writing they were producing was way off what I thought that I was able to help them with and, and improve it.
T
5:20Tom NeedhamGUEST
But I was also quite frustrated with, um, students that I was teaching who had come to secondary school for all sorts of reasons really, who hadn't really mastered the basics of decoding and things like that.
