What are some good golf videos out there?  I am coaching a high school golf team and would like to get a few videos together for the kids to watch on rainy days.

I recently picked up Butch Harmons "Ultimate Golf" and David Leadbetters "Golf Swing".

What else do you guys recommend?

Driver: Titleist D3 9.5, Project X
3 Wood: Adams Tight Lies
Irons: Titleist AP2
Wedges: 51 Degree Cleveland, 54 and 58 Degree CG 15
Putter: Ping Kushin (Old School Baby!)


How about Ben Hogan's videos?

I like Leadbetter's videos, specially the short game vid though, when I first started.


Tom Watson's "Lessons of a Lifetime."

Get Phil Mickelson's DVD "Secrets of the Short Game"

You could even teach the kids the backwards bunker shot...lol


Yeah we'll skip the normal shots and go straight to Phil backwards shots.After that we'll work on the cut 1 irons out of the sand.  lol

Driver: Titleist D3 9.5, Project X
3 Wood: Adams Tight Lies
Irons: Titleist AP2
Wedges: 51 Degree Cleveland, 54 and 58 Degree CG 15
Putter: Ping Kushin (Old School Baby!)


I looked at Phil's DVD , and I actually tried them out at the range... didn't work out for me...

David's chipping technique has been working better for me, but he doesn't have that soft landing techniques like Phil does.

I must be doing something wrong when it comes to Phil's techniques...

Suggestions?


Of all of Phil's techniques in his DVD, the hinge and hold was the one that stuck with me. Really solid chipping technique.


actually it's his hinge and hold that's not working for me, specially the one where he can land the ball very very softly.

He said open the face then align your body until the face faces the target... when I do so... my body is almost 90* to the target line 0.o

    • Day 3 (3 May 25) - played 18 (went solo) this afternoon at one of sister courses to my regular course.  Went with the three tee box format (Golld-White-Red as this adds a mix to the “I always play this club as my approach on this hole” routine).  The front presented issues as  the greens are suffering from the heat and lack of rain.  Add in 15-20 mph gusty winds and it’s not a walk in the park. It really made the approach reads a little hard to figure out - of the 3 pars on the front, two were GIR, the other a nGIR.  The rest were coming up short and that meant a lot of two putt bogies and a big old dbl- managed a 43.  The back greens are not suffering as bad and were more receptive to rolls of the rock. Finished that side with a two over 37 (par 35) that included 6 GIR that resulted in 5 para and 1 birdie, the other 3 were two putt bogies.  Was a good test of course management and not being afraid to club up or down.  
    • Day 287: range session today. Worked on my drill with the wrist turn, also trying to get my hips moving more. Looking a little better. Then went and worked on putts inside 10 feet for about 20 minutes. 
    • Day 12: Kentucky Derby Day Hit the range for about 30 minutes before it started to rain pretty hard. Good session!
    • Day 215 - 2025-05-03 Hit some balls at Downback. 🙂 @NatalieB is a college graduate now.
    • Purchased a new set of Ping G410 irons with True Temper XP 95 (R300) steel shafts (4-PW) at a good price. Had moved to graphite shafts many years ago (spanning various irons sets from Titleist, TaylorMade and Mizuno) thinking they would be appreciably lighter to help my slower swing speed. My weekend golf partners told me to quickly re-shaft the Pings to graphite. I must admit: (1) these clubs feel as light as any graphite shafts (2) I am hitting these irons the purest I have ever experienced in an iron (3) they fly straight!  Just looking for reinforcement to stick with the steel shafts.
