I bet as a lot of you know, the golf channel is doing a 12 day academy with some of the best instructors in the game today.

What i dont understand is why they are doing it in november?! When half of the country is freezing and a lot of the courses and ranges are closed! I know they may be doing it right now since they have nothing else to show, but still, they couldnt have squeezed it in myabe in march or april? Just frustrates me a bit that i watch the show and cannot apply what im learning several months away.

What do you guys think?

I've now watched Michael Breed and Butch Harmon. Unfortunately everything is so dumbed down that I'm not really getting anything out of it. Hopefully we can get a little better instruction from Player, Palmer, Nicklaus and Foley. I don't expect much out of Haney.

I think you should drive 1.5 hours south and play on the cape. Pine Hills is bad azz and is in Plymouth.

Golf Channel Academy.

Every night around 7pm or 7:30pm there is a new show. Started yesterday and will run for 12 nights if I recall. Lots of lessons from famous instructors, golfers, etc.. I am recording all of them on the DVR. They will be replayed at midnight I am sure each night. Tune in, could be some good shows.

12 days in the month of 12 days...

Good filler...how much Big Break, John Daly, or Golf in America reruns can you watch. I really liked the Tour Pro perspective versus the Teaching Pro points. What Norman said about his Nicklaus tip was a little more refreshing than a guy swinging a club with a bungee cord attached to it.

I bet a large part of the demographic for TGC is Florida, AZ, CA, where the weather has cooled down to be perfect for golf and all the snowbirds are flying in, so it does kind of make sense and they're following up the instructor search.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I saw some of the Foley one last night. First time I have seen him. He looked more like a computer geek than a golf instructor. But, made a lot of sense.

As others have said, these will all be replayed over and over. You will get several chances to see and apply the principles next spring.

I saw Hank Haney's the other night.

He talked about how Tiger practiced.  He said that one thing Tiger does is practice all nine shot trajectory and direction combinations with all clubs, so low, med, high trajectory with draw, straight, and fade directions.  He said this is a great way to see what really see what your swing is like.

Though I'm guessing other pros do this too, it was the first time I had ever heard someone talk about a pro, any pro, doing this.  Sobering to reflect on that level of skill.

Also, Hank mentioned that before going to the range, one should think on the few things to focus on when at the range, not just "hey, I'm going to hit balls".  That was instructive.
