@GolfSwami-If Jack played against 10yo kids as the other 140+ players in the field how many majors would he have won?-How many top tens would he have? You are missing the point-Despite others pointing you in the right direction several times. I played many PGA Tour events-A guy who cannot quite make it on the Korn Ferry Tour today is wayway way better than I ever was. Jack was great, but Tiger is miles better-You keep making statements with certainty but you have no certainty and you are ignoring the facts to arrive at your conclusions.

Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America
Phil McGleno replied to snapfade's topic in Golf Talk
@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. -
Someone should get Lucas Glover a Lab Mezz -OH wait

Wow- @JPitts is sending in the reinforcements! The Revealer is still a carnival trick-But like PT Barnum said- Glad you like your putters.-I like mine too.
-
Gee-How strange that you have posted here and in that topic-Right after @JPitts revived it with his BS-And then you join the forum and post about it. Welcome to TST-We could use more 9 handicaps who shoot 67 around here.-But Maybe find other topics to post in.

@JPitts sending along reinforcements now? You do not have to manipulate a stroke with other putters to keep them square either.-Glad you like it tho.

I do not like instruction that is one-size-fits-all- Or the general attitude. I am just not Bro Cali enough I guess on the second thing.

Cheap would be-"I'll let you use my name or image for a fundraiser-And I'm going to claim that allowing yall to do that is worth $200k and writing that off on taxes." Donating money is almost never "cheap." IOW-What the hell man?-If I'm Collin and I see this thread I am like "WTF?-I just will not donate next time."

You should have listened to your wife-It was unethical and if it was worth $540 you'd be prosecuted.-Imagine if I went into a different car dealer and said 'I have a car but I did not get the floor mats'-And misled them into giving me floor mats from their store. Might be a bad analogy-But your wife was right.-You should listen to her more.

Are you stupid? Notice-I did not call you stupid-I only asked you a question. Mods-What is the point of this topic?

I do not think it will help with the grip sliding into the palm-cuz that is not a grip strength thing so much as a different thing. Players will have this more in the palm just cuz it is so big they can not grip it entirely in the fingers like they can a regular grip. I have one ordered too.-I used ot wrap a towel around a grip and have players swing with that too.-This is better.

Let us see: Random practice promoted hard-Check. It is like he read your list above-And is just sending it out like gospel.

@dagolfer18-I have raised kids so pardon me for the parent voice-I agree. If you are not willing to do the simple things like get camera alignment right-Why should we expect you will do the hard things and invest time to try to help you.-FREE of course. ? Could you answer that question? Is the grip changed or posture changed?-I can look at the videos later I think if others do not beat me to it.-Got to go teach.

Adam says he knows the swing inside and out but I do not know if he does. I do not think that golfers will get a lot better just working on the golf swing like AY does-If golfers hit the ball off the toe the fix is often not just telling them this and getting them to hit it more on the center of the face.-They do something that tends to lead to toe contact and you can often find the thing before they do. Left to their own devices-Golfers will often solve the problem by creating MORE problems. So yeah if you are striking the ball fat, you can try to fix it, but what if you fix it by just staying forward and moving your head forward-and the ball back in your stance? Is that the right way to fix it?-Probably not. Bad golfers have horrible swings.-Sure, if they are toe-ing the ball they can get better by hitting it more centered-But if they fix that by doing bad things they might NOT actually get better even if that one thing got better. Those are my Thoughts-What are yours???

My Fall 2022 Golf Trip With See-Drick
Phil McGleno replied to iacas's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
I went with a few members to Sweetens.-They can put the flags in easier or harder positions. It sounds like they were not in bowls often but up on top for you. I agree it is overrated. I have played Holston from your list-It is great. You are right that it does not feel as compact as it is.-Maybe that is because you can just drive it into another fairway and the lack of trees makes the property feel expansive. -
Motorcycle Move With Right Hand?
Phil McGleno replied to ZANDER1994's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Buddy-I do not know what to say except Erik is right here-quotes do not say that the way you used them. I read it as he did-As separating the stuff you were talking about. I can put "quotes" around that word but it is still my word-I am not quoting Jon Sinclair or anyone else.-You are wrong here. And then you behave like a child. ERik has been more than helpful here with you even though you only ever ask questions and TAKE.-You do not contribute much-you contribute to starting discussions so I am not saying that-Just that you do not contribute information that you originate. And you did not here while misrepresenting who said what. You should apologize and I think everyone will let it slide.-EVeryone can have a bad day and you seem to be having one right now. -
Thoughts on This Article About "Mechanics"
Phil McGleno replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
No.-Adam does not really teach mechanics-He seems to think that you can fix almost everything by picturing hammering a nail or understanding that you are hitting the ball off the toe and then trying to hit it farther toward the heel or other things like that. But he knows mechanics are what the club or body are actually doing so you cannot avoid talking about them-BUt I do not think he teaches mechanics much at all.-It is almost all just mental imagery and skills-Not technique. Or mechanics. -
John Erickson (Advanced Ball Striking) in 2022
Phil McGleno replied to Phil McGleno's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
@Blades Balata-I started the topic so if you could stick to what I started the topic wanting to discuss I would appreciate it. I do not think that much of what John teaches players actually do-When they swing. Feel is not real as many will tell you. I teach-And I teach feels too, because you ahve to.-But I know what players are actually doing and I do not like to put out videos or things and call them real when they are feels. I really doubt his hips accelerate after impact.-Or his hands or clubhead do, either. I do not think that would be a good way to swing if you did do it. I do not think the clubface stays square longer.-Certainly not for several feet after impact-Duh. I do not think that you can or should try to lag the shaft behind in a normal swing. No doubt he is a good player.-But we are not debating that.
