Hell my g/f who has extremely difficult learning disabilties could probably tell you word for word what some of the agreements are on a mortage loan from working in the industry for 5+ years but that doesn't mean she could teach someone to be a loan officer or be one herself.

I don't think the point was that one must memorize that list to teach golf or that simply memorizing the book gives you the ability to teach the material. The point was that memorizing that material will do nothing but make you a better teacher, if for no other reason than you will become a better student.
