Is Foley legally recognized as a midget in Canada?

No, that is not the correct terminology, his official designations include munchkin and oompaloompa.

You guys cant just dislike what the guy says because it doesnt agree with what you think or teach, "thats fine because I think that too" Yeah I think the whole life coach think is bullshit too but like it or not he is waaaaaay more informed on the golf swing than any of you or I will ever be FACT . So unless the top pros are flocking to you for intructional help I think you should show some respect whether you agree with what he says or not.

Foley is a good instructor. We're just having fun. Foley has a comical quality about him--he's like that McDowell's guy from "Coming to America".
They have the Big Mac, we have the Big Mic
We have the golden arcs, they have the arches.

I actually disagree. Peter Kostis doesn't know lots, Nick Faldo doesn't know the ball-flight laws, and Hank Haney couldn't stop Tiger from being laid off in five years. Success isn't always dependent on knowledge or ability.

So no, I disagree that we can't have our own opinions and I've seen nothing that demonstrates that he knows more than I know about the swing now and your claim of "ever" is just stupid. For all you know someone here is the next Foley (or better).

So what is success depend on? luck? Judging by how many world class players he coaches demonstrates ALOT, and I think thats a pretty good acid test imo. As for Faldo those who cant teach do and those who cant do teach, Peter K is from an older generation of teaching and maybe why he coaches few of the top players nowadays. As for the stuff in the bold now that is "stupid".

Success depends on several things. Wealthy parents. Fortune/luck. Hard work. A good personality. Looks. Figuring out what you want to do earlier than some other people. A few well-connected friends. The list goes on...

Your acid test is your opinion and yours alone, and again, Hank Haney taught Tiger for years and couldn't - as proven on TV - coach himself out of a wet paper bag with students who didn't have the talent level of a Tiger Woods. Bryan, you're on thin ice, and it's not for lack of chances.

Any chance this is uploaded online?

I know they are replaying it tonight or tomorrow on The Golf Channel (U.S.). If you know someone in the states with a Slingbox, they could possibly "sling" it to your computer. If I knew how to record live TV and then upload it to youtube, I'd do it. Check TGC online, sometimes they put their programming on their website.

He does seem to be on the small side however, I'm only 5'-8". I'm really hoping this guy is about 5'-5" so I don't feel as small :)

1. No one really cares about Tiger

1. I really care about Tiger 2. I want him to win everything 3. After 36 years of instruction, Tiger still needs lessons. 4. Foley is somewhat of a huckster, but not as bad as Harmon, haney, and the rest. 5. learn and practice the fundamentals and you might play great golf

Really? You think no one cares about possibly the greatest golfer to have played the game? No matter how good you are, you can always be better. MLB players have batting coaches, etc. NBA players have shooting coaches and strength coaches. Golf is no different. In your opinion, what are the fundamentals? Just curious.
