Wow - I'm a big fan of Rory but who is he trying to kid? I would of thought that queuing up with everyone else would of caused more of a fuss than taking the VIP treatment!

Not uncommon. I think a lot of stars just like to feel normal. I like that Rory isn't throwing around his star power.

Unlike Spieth who just assumes Under Armor will just send him cloths if he ends up in a playoff for the US Open. Sad sense of entitlement there. :whistle: (joking) :-D

He's trying to kid no one. You don't have to be cynical about everything Rory does. He's always seemed to be a very down to earth type of guy.

If he asked for the red carpet treatment, that would be more planning. Then he'd have to sign autographs, shake hands. This way, he doesn't have to plan anything, show up anytime and be left alone. For the most part. Now I've got Celine Dion going in my head. Doh.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I wasn't really shocked. He doesn't really seem to be the type that demands special treatment all the time although I am sure there are times that require it.

Yea he seems like a pretty down to Earth guy. I think places will ask celebrities to do the VIP treatment/private touring if their presence might cause a disturbance of some kind, like if Niall Horan showed up at Walt Disney World during high school cheerleading nationals competition week or something.

Me, neither.   I am just consumed with everything that is golf and have no time for anything else.   That's my Friday retort to @boogielicious . :-P

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By billchao ·

      You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By collegefbfan ·

      Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By DaveP043 ·

      I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
