Loving how this thread morphs.

OP has a question. 

Forumites fixate on Blair (my guess: most members are male)

Forumites blast Golf channel instruction 

Forumites blast Blair 

Forumites blast Martin

No-one answers OP

Hacker James-right on

Umm...

OP has a single question; "Did anyone see Martin's school of golf show tonight?"  Everything else was a statement.  (But the final sentence may have been intended to be a question).  The OP immediately brings up Blair.  (my guess: the OP is male).

Responses fixate on the fact that OP brought up Blair.  Second post clearly states that that general tips might not be relevant to a particular golfer and, even if they are, might not be relevant to any particular issues at this time.

Responses then state how difficult it is to have training programs when 1) there are many different types of swings and 2) people have different issues with said swings.

Blair plays the role of a "student".  This is not a blast, it is merely a fiction that any of the tips that the host gives are relevant to her at a given time or that they actually helped her swing.  She is, aside from being too good a golfer to get anything out of those lessons, an attractive model.

Martin is trying to present a teaching show that, as mentioned, must appeal to a wide audience when very few members of said audience suffer the same issues.  He cannot start from scratch each week and he cannot be too advanced.  He must walk a fine line and the audience must be aware that while most of his instruction has merit, very little of it has merit to the majority of the audience at any given time.  It is up to the viewer to determine which advice applies.

OP's question was vague, but answered.  In fact, OP answered his own question when he said "correct"; Martin did say; swing, turn, shift up, shift, turn swing down.

As one of the male forumites I concur - indeed, the shoes are clearly the most distracting part of it all
