If he can just get it on the green within 10 ft everytime
Using one club around the green isn't going to get him within 10 feet every time. To obtain this, you need a variety of shot making skills. If this player follows your advice, once they get comfortable with hitting their 56 every time around a green, why would they deviate from that option, when you (should know) that using one club for all shots around a green is not good. This is instilling a flawed ideology in a beginner golfer. Take the time to go to the practice green and experiment with different clubs and shot types. That is the only way this player will be able to "get it to within 10 feet every time" - not rolling up and pulling a 56 every time.

Beginners should just learn how to hit draws, fades, punch shots, high spinners, the two hop and check too. Yeah, ideally everybody would learn how to hit multiple shots around the greens, but the fact is that's going to take a ton of time and practice which most people don't have. If the guy that plays a couple of times a month (like the OP) can just become consistent with one club and not chunk or thin it often they are going to be a lot better. Again, once you get consistent with one shot/club you can learn how to hot flops or low spinners, but if you can't keep the ball on the green everytime with one shot why would you try to teach multiple?

Some people like the simplicity of using just 1 club. And it's just one club you have to practice and get better with. You should be able to hit most shots with a 60. Flop, one hop spin (it should be the club you use for these two anyway), and even a runner. Some people even prefer to work on distance control with this club to take as much green/slope out of the equation as possible.
I think a bigger problem in general with ams is consistent contact and that's with any club. Then people need to really know their distances (again, doesn't matter the club), and finally understanding the spin you'll get and how that can change with the shot and lie.
So this is why some people choose just one club. Because all those variables change when the club changes. I know some guys who don't "chip" at all. They either putt or pull out a hybrid.
