Some modern equipment is a little bit easier to hit than the old stuff but thinking that better/newer equipment will make you a better golfer truly is a fallacy.

I went from 20 yr old Mizzys to T300's. Dropped 4 strokes in a couple of  months. They didn't "make me a better golfer", they just didn't slap me every time I made a poor swing.

The only golf book that has consistently been on my bedside table is Harvey Penicks Little Red Book. 

I think Penick's Little Red Book is a good read, but it's a little silly at times--like when he talks about sending a bunch of scythes (or weed cutters) to a team of golfers to help them with their swing. I know he was a great teacher because of the students he produced, but his book sometimes seems a little fanciful.

You should read/watch some of Shawn Clement’s material if you find that silly.🤣

I don't think the quality of a teacher is that closely tied to the quality of the golfers.

Or, because he was a good/great teacher, he attracted the better golfers?  maybe a bit of both?

Sounds like we agree.
