I don't. I think there were enough segments showing him teaching that people could form an opinion.

I think you'd be surprised at how similar the advice is. It may be finer details, but the advice is basically the same. Physics and geometry don't change because the student plays golf for millions of dollars.

While it's sometimes bad to judge people off T.V. (the producers of Big Break edit the footage to cast the competitors as a certain character), in this case it's fine. Hank's producers have edited hi shows to make his look as good as he can. And he still came off looking bad.

    • This is my take on it, as well. You don’t top the ball because you didn’t think hard enough, but screwing up the following shot because you’re angry about the last one and didn’t give it enough effort can certainly be partially attributed to lack of mental fortitude. Honestly I think most people like to say that golf is mostly mental because they want to tell themselves they’re better than they actually are.
    • Rafa Nadel swing is awful and that's coming from my swing that's not good but if he is an 0 handicap then his tennis skills grant him to hit the ball a far distance?,I dont know but I would say that's not a scratch drive distance (250 -280yds) swing,more like a beginner, I now appreciate my own swing now..lol

    • I'd take the flawless swing. (Although we could have a lively discussion over whether or not such a thing exists....)  With a really great swing you can get far more GIR's and NGIR's then without one and approach shots carry such a high separation value.  Without needing to work on my flawless swing I could devote my valuable practice time to short game.
