In my opinion I would like to interview Peter Alliss (A golf commentator over in England).
He sounds a nice guy with a good sense of humour and has a lot of anecdotes that would make the interview go quickly.
If he wasn't available then I'd go for Ernie Els

Id interview John Daly. He doesnt take himself too seriously and is happy in his own skin. He also says what he thinks and could tell more than a few stories thats for sure. Next would be the Golden Bear- he really is God, and i believe he provides an invaluable insight in to golf. If Jack hasnt done it, its not worth talking about.

There are too many journeymen on tour who are just corporate automatons these days, so there arent that many from the current generation that would be interesting to interview, apart from Boo Weekly ('i wanna live off the fat a' the land).

Professional Golfer: Freddy Couples- I'd like to walk along with Fred while he plays a casual practice round at Augusta and just listen to him speak freely about his career and golf in general.

Professional at anything else? Michael Jordan

Tiger. I've seen him on talk shows and he seems pretty much like a normal guy who loves golf and people. He jokes around a lot, and isn't a robot like I've seen some pro athletes who just answer the question and stare at the host, waiting for another question.

I would like to interview/talk with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. I would like to tell them "THANK YOU" for getting me interested in golf over 50 years ago by having a rivarly that I enjoyed watching on TV (mostly in balck and white). This love of golf has been passed to my two sons who at 34 and 21 are enjoying the game as I do. Each of my sons has independently commented how glad they are I started them playing golf. I would like to thank Mr. Palmer and Mr. Nicklaus for getting a small town boy who was not very atheltically inclinded interested in a game that can be played and enjoyed for a lifetime and which can be passed down to his sons (sorry but my daughter just never took the hook in terms of taking up golf).

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
