 The
Anti-Pro:
Readers Take Aim and Sound Off
Is Videotape the Cure-All?
Dear "Anti-Pro":
I just read your Anti-Pro column, "Confusion
Feeds the Golf Industry" in Rockiesgolf.com. What is the difference
between people shelling out their hard earned dollars on a local pro or
sending you their money on blind faith because you have a website and
a video?
Do you have them videotape their swings from 3 angles and send you a copy for your personal analysis? After 15 years of struggle, a local pro who refused to band-aid my problems rebuilt my swing in 6 lessons. I'm now shooting low 80's and dropping rapidly. How do you tell a 6' 6" golfer that they may need some equipment adjustments, or would you let them let them hit toe-deep pushes for the rest of their lives? Does your videotape stop you in mid-swing on the range and say "That position may feel good to you because you have swung like that for 12 years, but you really need to be in this position." I don't think so. Your "just swing the club" philosophy is great in theory, and now sounds easy to me after finding an simple, correct swing after 15 years of struggle, but as a young teen who was self-taught at a summer junior golf program (that if you were moving the club you received no attention from the pro) a horrible slice. I loved your article until I went to your website. You can't blast an industry for making money on the unknowing masses who are flocking to the courses, and then turn around and charge them for the "cure all" videotape. Last time I checked it was free to go see the Pope if he came to town. Scott Anderson
