Golf lessons for veteran golfers are something I can't seem to wrap my head around. I understand that some need instruction at the beginning stages of golf but after you have developed a solid fundamental knowledge of golf and the golf swing why would you need someone to teach you how to improve.
Take Mike Breed for example, the golf channels fast talking guy! You would waste your time working on half the stuff he teaches. Some of it is correct but lots of it is just so wrong in it's theory and execution that if you did see any improvement it would be because your hand eye coordination was improving and not your shot making ability. These days, if there is a shot you want to hit or something you need to work on, you can look it up on the web and see 10 guys hitting the same shots and their theories behind why and go out and try them all and see which one works best for you. NOTE TO ALL GOLF INSTRUCTORS AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!!!! All golfers are not the same, there is not one or even two universal golf swings to be taught. Lessons should be about the impact of the club and the golf ball and getting to that point. This nonsense about gigantic follow through and double follow through and all of that is just nonsense. Teach the important part of golf and not whatever it is your trying to teach other than the "at impact portion" and getting to "impact". The beauty of the golf swing is superfluous and it's sad that so many people have beautiful golf swings but can't play a lick.
The secret to putting is practicing and practicing properly. The same with all other aspects of the game. every thing you need is right on the web and done by the golfers who do it better than anyone else not some guy who makes his living telling you how to do it because he can't do it well enough!
I understand Dave Pelz is the guru of the short game but is anything he says really anything that a veteran golfer hasn't heard before. NO it's not!!!!! It wont ever be but people have this need to think they will improve their game by paying people to tell them how to improve their game rather than taking it on themselves. Is it really YOUR golf game, or are you a typical golf instructor robot! Please don't be one!!!!!!!!!!
