  2. Keesler AFB, Ms, approx 1978. I am a lowly Airman Basic student slime fodder. There is like one freaking General on the entire base, and he is never to be found. One day, I am at the range, I shank one left high and on towards the road and that MF in his staff car, general flag and all ( I totally freaked as I had only seen pictures of what a staff car looked like), happens to be on that same road at that exact time and directly in the line of fire. To this day, I see in perfect slow motion that ball and that staff car proceed on a collision course. I will never ever forget as the ball careens of the pavement at 150 mph just ever so slightly to the side of the car and bouces accross the windshielf of "the General" and then I see brake lights. Oh shit. Anyways, he stops for a second, and keeps going....
  3. I am a terrible golfer trying to figure this out as well. This advice from Kandi Comer looks reasonable: "I encourage all golfers to find a PGA or LPGA Professional, and interview them to find out as much as they can about the professional before they take the lesson. You would not go to a doctor without finding out information about the doctor. Golf Professionals are like any other professional and there are good ones and there are bad ones, so do some research on the professional you are interested in taking a lesson from. When you interview the instructor you want to make sure you feel comfortable with them and that communication goes both ways and not just the professional talking. Find out about the teaching experience the professional has– how long have they been teaching and is their a specific type of student the professional enjoys teaching more than another?You want to find out about their teaching philosophy. Are they a method teacher or do they treat each golfer as an individual and work with their body type and what they can physically do with their body? Make sure you speak to golfers that you know that have taken lessons from this professional and get their feedback. If you are comfortable after the interview set up one lesson and see how it goes. Does the teacher give you a plan for improvement and a practice schedule? Do they use video or other technology that you feel is beneficial? If you do not have a practice schedule or a plan to improve I feel that is a red flag. No matter how good the golf professional might be the golfer cannot improve without practicing. I feel it is the golf professionals responsibility to give you a plan so that you can see the most improvement from your practice. It is my philosophy that the student should have, at the most, two things to work on while practicing. Once they accomplish these changes it is time to schedule a follow up lesson." But, I really have no idea...
  4. Lots of options in Phoenix. What is your price range? These guys have a great rep and lots of options: http://www.jacobsgolf.com/
  5. What about this advice on release? I never heard of this...
  6. You are probably just not releasing through enough. Before you give up, try a new Cobra staff bag and a Scotty Cameron putter. That has worked wonders I imagine and I want them.
  7. That is cool. I will blow 5 bucks if I ever see one. It looks like a giant vacum cleaner
  8. Hogan states in his 5 Lessons book that he instructed a club player from 90s to 70s in 5 months back in '38... implies it was all student dedication...It keeps me alive believing that it is true....
