As a novice, I'm always looking for good instructional material but I find a lot of crap where they give you the first half of a lesson then they want you to sign up somewhere else for the rest of the lesson.

Clearly, anything with David Leadbetter is money, as long as you don't mind dry dialogue.  I've improved a LOT by watching his vids and doing many of his drills.  What else is worth watching?  Any good suggestions?

A good channel on youtube to look at is called "Meandmygolf" ... It's these 2 British guys and they do some good instructional videos for both beginners and high handicapers.

TST is a forum-full of instruction -- take a look, it's excellent.

I like 5 Simple Key Videos and Drills

On youtube, Pete Cowan has some good videos on Swinging a Club, and Callaway Sponsored Vids

Occasionally, I will look at a Stan Utley Short Game Vid; Phil M's vids, which are on youtube, has some good ideas.

When I first started, i found a series of videos by Pete Styles. He's not on youtube, but it is a good, solid basic swing that he breaks down into the classical positions (address, takeaway, backswing, transition, etc). I've found that going to see a good teacher beats watching a thousand great videos. Unfortunately when you are a beginner, it is difficult to tell good from bad or even mediocre.

My best lesson was from an old pro and all he said was point back to target on backswing and chest to target on follow through, made it simple, but recently a powerpoint video helped with contact, simply put pick a spot in front of ball and stay down and through swinging through that point, a little to the right for draw little to left for fade


One of the best instructors I know is Lucas Wald
