Fred makes it clear that the "other" golf schools focus on techno-fixes where gurus tell the students what they should do. He believes that is a negative approach. Shoemaker's recurring mantra is "what's happening?" He encourages you to feel what's going on. In your bodies, your golf games, and yes, your lives - Fred believes if you are going to fix your golf game you might have to change your life.
