I've found a great show that packs in loads of tips during a 1/2 hr show. The name of the show is the golf fix and it is on the golf channel mondays @ 7pm EST. Does anyone else watch this show? I've only seen it once and love it. It was the best of tips episode and had great drills for putting/chipping. Using these drills for one day they helped me shoot my lowest score ever (44). I'm usually scoring low 50's....

What are your thoughts on this show.. are there any others out there that you guys watch?

The pace reminds me of a Shamwow commercial. I wish it were easier to take.

I like the show and all but he is defintily on speed or something. He talks way to fast and is way to hyped up to not be on something. Reminds me of Billy Mays or Shamwow guy. I watch it and my wife leaves the room. Says she cant take how fast he talks.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

Sorry but Michael Breed is a very poor teacher and even worse as a tv personality. Also, no one on tour is using him nor do they give him any credibility.

Something about his personality seems to grate on most folks but that would be ok if he actually could get his point across, which he does not. Way too fast that most folks can't comprehend.

I hate the show but want to like it. I've tried watching it many times. I just can't get over the hyper speed. I also don't think he goes in depth enough with his lessons.

I think a better show would be someone who breaks down a student's swing, examines a single fault, and then works to eliminate it. I'd get more out of that.

I agree with this last part of the above quote; he goes so damn quickly that it is tough to pick up key learning points. Think if you had a teacher in school that went at his pace.... would be pretty tough to learn from him. I think the show would be much better if he tried to cover half as much but did a more thorough job of what he was getting across.

the show in general can be a little scatter-brained, but the "best of" episode was GREAT! I wasnt able to record it but every single tip in that episode was SUPER useful, plus i'm a little biased, my buddy Mario works for him so I'm always hearing him talk about him...

I certainly agree that he does go super fast through the show. I guess I haven't found it problematic because I'm watching it on DVR so after he gives a little tip I can pause the show grab my broom w/ the golf shaft and grip and practice the swing technique.

It is no replacement for actual teaching and swing correction from a PGA pro or teaching pro but he does offer some valid tips.. and little things to look at in your game.

It may be more valuable for a high handicapper as myself who needs to be reminded / taught about things that may seem menial to seasoned golfers.

Besides my buddies on the course & this forum.. he is my only other source of teaching.

Actually, he's not really like that. They wanted the show to be like Mad Money and thats why all the high energy, many camera shots, loud talking, manly grunts, etc, etc...

If you watch videos of him unrelated to the golf fix, you will see what a calm guy he really is.

Oh, and for those who say he's not any good, I dont really know, but his swing is pretty sweet... Nice smooth controlled tempo...

Anyways, thought I'd chime in.

I like the show. I dont know what him not teaching any tour pros has to do with his credibility. There are a lot of good teachers that have never taught a pro. Also, we know there are teachers that have taught pros and fubered their swings.

This was my thought as well. Seems to be what their shooting for in teh direction of the program. I like the concept of the show, just not it's execution.

He's fast but i've found that I usually get a good tip out of each show. At least a reminder on a basic that's slipped from my swing...
