I have been trying to talk my AD into allowing me to make a purchase of some instructional DVDs.  My coaching buddies all have Jim Hardy's DVDs.  They like them.  I would have to make a matching or maybe even more donation.  We have limited athletic money and I have had to make most purchases for my program for the last 10 years.  If you were me, and I coach young ladies that have never swung a club nor even own clubs when I get them, what instructional DVD would you purchase? 

 

Edited to add:

I like a lot of what we do.  However, I seem to have a level of competency that I can't seem to get over.  I get two girls to sectional play each year and that is better than aver for my area.  This year I got another young lady to state.  She was one of two golfers south of Springfield, Ill to get to go in our class if you disregard the one team that advanced.  I want to really give my players a better shot at getting our team there and know I have a lot to learn.

Coach (me) to player, "Hey, what percentage of putts left short never go in?"  Player, "Coach, 100% of putts left short never go in."  Coach (me), "Exactly."  Player, "Coach what percentage of putts that go long never go in."  LOL!


There are so many golf dvds out there.  I could, in no way, recommend any particular one.  I would say, since you are the coach, get ones that enforce what *you* want to teach.  DVDs, on their own, are not really all that useful for new golfers (IMO) so what you can add to them will be even more important than the content of the dvd, itself.  So get one that you like/agree with.

This one. Great information that deals with the stuff that matters, not "styles" of swings. Also #1 selling DVD for the past 3 1/2 years.

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.  
    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game.
