@collegefbfan-That is a lot of text in a row. Paragraphs please.-Tough for my old eyes to read. The article is mebbe worse than the other one-This guy does not even 'write good'. It is not worth the time to read or discuss-Really. There are bad instructors-He is a worse writer than many bad instructors are bad instructors. -

Thanks for including me on this article. I really appreciate it. I will try to explain what my objectives are and what I have done in the past with other instructors. I have been to five instructors in 4 years. Some of that time included a year layoff. I told each one that my main goal was to make good contact and hit the ball straight, I didn't care about crazy long distance. I know other things matter when hitting different clubs, where the ball is placed in the stance, rough or sand, etc. 1st instructor (about an hour away) was PGA certified, and he was more worried about me watching him hit his 6 iron straight than teaching me anything. For the little time he watched me hit, he watched me hit ground ball after ground ball with no advice or suggestions. 2nd instructor (1.5 hours away) was better, but it was more about club lag/lean without really telling me how to do it. 3rd instructor (about 40 minutes away) was PGA certified and said he taught a relaxed swing. I never really got what that meant. 4th instructor (1.75 hours away) was at a very nice country club and PGA certified with all the stuff a student would want. Never looked at grip. Also told me that the "wrists take care of themselves in the swing". Really? Have you seen all the questions about wrist hinge and timing? Tells me to get weight on my lead foot/leg but no drills or thought processes on how to accomplish it. Most current instructor (50 minutes away) looked at everything. Checks grip, has a way to have my weight on my lead foot/leg, etc. I said hey when do I come back. He says after you have become comfortable with these "short" shots and making consistent contact, we will discuss a good time for another lesson. I know being PGA certified matters to a lot of folks. I sort of relate it to this: I have had my vehicles worked on by my step grandfather, my father in law, my brother in law, even myself. None of us are ASE certified, but it got fixed without tons of wrong guesses as to what it could be. I am just a 50 year old guy that should have taken the game up 20-25 years ago. I have always liked the sport a lot. Just wanna be a guy that can hit the ball consistently and not hook, slice, and shank every other swing. Many thanks you all. -
