Why? Because if you don't understand them, you give the student the wrong "fix."

It's that simple.

Sorry. That's fixed. I meant to choose unlisted (for now).

I liked John Graham's question to him on Twitter.

Quote:
@chambleebrandel If we assume that iron shots r hit on the way down (ie path going down) why doesn't the ball go into the ground?

So... The solution is?

1) Boycott Golf Channel because they obviously hire know-nothing idiots.

2) Call Aaron Rodgers and give him the correct info.

3) Forget about it because it's no big deal.

Sorry folks, I'll opt for 3).

4) perhaps Brandle will sneakily study what's referred to as the D-Plane and see the light ?

naah, forget it

Yeah, I was wondering about that Chamblee tweet.

Forget Big Break Ireland.

I would much rather watch a "reality" show where he explains himself or tries to prove he is right. That would be more entertaining.

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

I kinda figured you'd take that approach. But this advice may have done more to harm a golfer's ability to improve more than anything else.

I care about the golf games of others. If someone's out there spreading non-truths - particularly from a platform like Brandel has - then I'm going to take option 4) Spend at least a little of my time trying to counter the misinformation with the correct information.

P.S. You didn't choose 3. You posted.

Agreed Iacas.

I would certainly prefer he take note and maybe research a little and then discuss what he found. His opportunity to help many more golfers than we'll ever see is great.

So frustrating trying to convince someone that what they heard Brandel say on TV is incorrect. Makes our job much harder.

Rogers shot after the help is just perfect.

JG

PS Thanks for all the twitter followers out there.

I was going to post something similar. I don't understand the reply either.

Forget about it because it's no big deal?! Could you please tell us why it's no big deal.

I was thinking of David Graham when I read "John Graham". I'm not joking.

I have to admit to avoiding "new" ball flight laws discussions. Well, at least now that I've proven to myself why what I was doing that worked was working. Now I just keep doing that. So, yeah at some point they're important, but it's not like a player needs to think about them on every shot. They just don't.

Nobody's saying they do, my man.
