It sounds like her swing thoughts are all wrong, since she is new she is not worried enough.

The Mantra should be coursing through her head:
Head down...don't hit it thin...hinge the wrists...stay out of the water...don't come over the top...don't hit it fat...keep the head still...stay out of the water...steady backswing...keep on plane...don't bob the head...stay out of the water...don't do whatever it was I did on my last swing...stay out of the water...hope there is no sand up there...stay out of the water...enjoy the game????

There are variants the Mantra but once she has ingrained this into her mind her scores will either ballon or remain nice and high. One of the best ways to reinforce the Mantra is to watch a lot of the Golf Channel and read a lot of golf instructional magazines.
