THIS ?
"Honey, I'm home!"
" How was your lesson, dear?"
" Great...he told me I need to swing around my vertabrae, move my hips more and my shoulders less, rotate my ankles inward on the downswing, cup my left wrist at the top of the back swing, flex my stomach muscles at impact, and wear a cap that isn't so tight."
"How much was your lesson, dear?"
" $75, honey."
"Sounds like you got your money's worth! How are you hitting the ball now?"
" Terrible, but he told me I just need to practice my new habits and to come back next week for another lesson."
OR THIS?
"Honey, I'm home!"
" How was your lesson, dear?"
" Great, I added 30 yards to my drives!"
" How much did he charge you, dear?"
" $75, honey."
" What all did he tell you to do?"
" Have a longer back swing."
" That's it?...A longer backswing?..& he charged you $75? I could have told you that....and bought a new dress with the money. Only one tip? You got ripped off!"

Your Money's Worth
The Book Store
It's been suggested that I write a book.
The informed golfer is waking up to the cold hard scientific fact that most golf instruction is IMPOSSIBLE for we human beans to physically do. No need to check into the asylum...It ain't our fault!
Seems that someone finally realized that the golf swing is too fast to make the changes the golf instructor is ___getting rich___selling.
Too fast to react? Who says so? Some lame-brained golf bum? No, Mister & Miz, The scientific community___that's who SAYS SO! Sit tight...we have the proof coming up in a few days.
Science has now validated what I knew instinctively 6___Look out__No misprint___SIX decades ago. I've been around! More on that later!
Oh yes, The Book...& its going to be a doozy.. will knock the "Teaches" right on their kollective keisters.
...So my lovely wife and I traipse out on Valentines Day to Barnes & Noble's to check out golf book sizes, shapes, formats, appeal, color. Our competition, ya know. After a few minutes I had to leave, actually sensed myself getting mad, started to shake. Why? Because the instruction was a pack of lies. Science and Physics have underwritten this fact___It is humanly IMPOSSIBLE for golfers to do what these faux instructors are telling them to do. Hell, the so called golf instructors CAN'T do what they are telling golfers to do.
We left the store with one thought in mind. The golf books should be in the FICTION section of the book store.

Fairy Tales
Truth and common sense have gone out of style. Ralph Nader told the truth, ran for the presidency, and received 3% of the vote. One of today's contenders promises health care for all although our country is flat broke. Seems like America is buying it..."IT" is leading in the polls. The ONLY candidate who is telling the truth is so far down in the ratings the press never mentions him.
Tell the golfer that most of the money he has squandered on golf lessons is gone forever & has been traded for rotten unbreakable habits. He/she doesn't want to hear "it." Tell the golfer that more golf instruction from the same sources will produce the same lousy results. He/she WON'T hear "it."
The child doesn't want to hear about the war in Iraq or other horror stories before they go night-night...They want to hear Fairy Tales. Helps them sleep better. Sweet dreams, America!
Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
Not strong enough? How 'bout this. Once the bogus information is in your skull, it's real difficult to get it out. So it is, indeed, not harmless information. You eat the Twinkie, you wear it!
Most of today's instruction will not only make your golf game worse but it is virtually impossible for the human machine to perform the absurd "tips" up-chucked by the friendly folks living down the street at the the golf industry house.
Case in point. Someone decided to present the top 100 golf instructors in America. Have you read their crap? I don't want to dignify this group or their sponsors or cut and paste what they have to say____ concerned that some of it will adhere to the already over-loaded motor skill part of your brain....But they offer advice on how a particular maneuver will increase your yardage if you do "This" ...Get ready....after the ball is gone!!!! Another states that your problem with distance can be blamed on your ankles. 100 top instructors? my Butt!
Confused and frustrated? You should be! Where do you think your bad habits come from? That was the question...Here is the Answer.__From what you read and watch! Why do they have new <<
One of our star students wrote with an amazing story on how much his golf has improved. Want to copy his secret? It has more to do with what he is NOT doing rather than what he IS doing. He said this, " I have cancelled my golf magazine subscriptions, given away all my instruction DVD (except yours) don't watch the Golf Channel, gave my golf books to the goodwill, and tell my golf buddies I'm not interested in their 2 cents". He plays only twice a week with his son....they both shoot par!

New Golf Instruction Study
How to Whistle

Ron's Gone Fishin'
Hi Jim,
Golf has always been an enjoyable but frustrating experience with the one shot always bringing me back the next time to see if I had figured it out. After years of insanity, I gave up.
I have always loved flyfishing so it became my passion. I played golf only in corporate events or with a family member on vacation.
Fast forward to last year. We are playing a corporate scramble for a charity sponsored by my comapany. I had my token good shot and felt that I had contributed to my team, but this nagging thought of what could be if I got serious and practised continued ringing in my head.
To the computer I go. Got to find a golf lesson on the internet.
If I continue to do what I have done, I will get what I have always had. (bad slice). I wanted the perfect swing. So I typed in "perfect swing", and there is a picture of this guy's swing....and it was perfect. No, really perfect. I was mezmorized. I kept playing it over and over. I thought " If I had that swing, I wouldn't be the one shot wonder anymore." Then I read the testimonals. If I continue to do what I have always done, I will get what I've always had. So...I ordered your video and the McSwinger. This is the only money I ever spent on instruction. If this doesn't work I'm going fishing.
Got the video in the mail with the McSwinger. Followed the instructions. I did not strike a golf ball for 3 weeks. My swing improved and so did my concept of the game. I realized that in order to be successful on the course, I had to master the swing so my mind was not involved in the actual striking of the ball.
Years of baseball and softball had trained me to hit the ball, not swing the bat. I had to change my approach. If I continued to do what I have always done, I get what I have always had. So I made a committment to myself that not a day would go by that I didn't swing a club. I wanted my swing on auto-pilot so I could concentrate on the game and not the swing.
It has now been 5 months. Some of the results have been remarkable. But None of the results have been the SAME!
I played a local course. Hole #11...430 par 4.... Dogleg left, downhill to the green. Drive landed about 280 and rolled to 385. I am now offically hooked on this game! My longest drive prior to my practise was 230 or 240. I have played this course 6 times since then and have hadseveral drives over 300. (with witnesses). I am going to break 80 this summer. My range game has gone from shanks to 60 out of 80 9 irons within a 20 foot circle of the target. 39 straight 5 woods in a row. My clubs are now 20 yrds on average longer that 5 months ago.
My shots are not perfect, but my swing is. I guess the most important thing that your system, of tools and video, has done for me is restore the passion and enjoyment of the game.
My sincere thanks.
