They are much better off paying for a PGA pro to give them a lesson. Tips don’t work as they are too general and they are better off going to a pro. Any thoughts?

I agree with you. In probably 90% of my answers in the golf section I say… go get a lesson from a pro. We don’t know there swing — they could be describing it wrong.. we could be telling them the wrong thing. Its too hard to give someone tips over the internet when 1/2 the time, they don’t understand what you are telling them to do. So many people just ask a buddy for some tips instead of going and asking someone who does that for a living and making their golf game better. Like my friend had me over, showed me her swing and asked me what she should do to improve it. She thinks I should know because I have two cousins who are PGA Pros and an uncle on Tour. I just wrote down my cousins phone number and told her to call him. It bugs me so much that people try to improve there game by just asking other golfers. Good Question!
- I was reading another answer and recipes are different than fixing a golf swing.

We have a five year old left handed granddaughter who is very interested in golf, her parents are working with her but thought a video or dvd would help.

I am looking to purchase a camcorder to record my golf swing. I am not looking to spend $3,000 on something like the Minolta Swing Vision camera you see them using on TV with the 4000 frames per second. Does anyone have any recommendations for camcorders they have used to record their golf swings that are reasonably priced? Thanks!

The ONLY consumer cameras that even approach what you want are a few of the higher-end Sony consumer camcorders that have the "smooth slow record" feature. Be advised that even though these camcorders are considered "high definition", when the smooth slow record" feature is invoked, the video quality is degraded (and no longer high definition).

I’m wanting to buy a golf club set. I see clubs at the range I can use for free and one brand I remember is callaway. Is that a good brand? They have mostly worn golf clubs. I have played golf already and taken one semester class.
I just don’t think golf ranges would risk giving out good value clubs for people to borrow since people can easily steal them.

Just use what you can for a while. Used clubs are good for beginners because they are much much cheaper and you don’t have to worry about denting or dinging them like you would a set to 500 dollar clubs. After a while (6 months to a year or whenever you feel like your ready to move up) go to a pro shop and have your swing analyzed and see what a pro recommends for you. There are so many different clubs out there and everyone has their own preference so you really should spend a lot of money on a nice set without trying them out first to see how they feel and see if they fit your game.

Hope that helps… Good luck!!

Todays tip will be about tempo. I’ve always felt that if the mechanics of one’s golf swing are fairly sound other then that the occasional tune up from your pro, youre going to work on tempo more than anything. Tempo is kind of the glue that holds everything together. We all tend to swing too hard or too fast. Golf is a game of distance, in our minds anyway, more than a game of accuracy. Were all trying to hit the ball farther. If anybody has heard a golfer say they dont want to hit the ball farther I want to meet them ,Ive never met one! A gentleman once asked me if I could give him just one tip, one sentence that would be the secret to the golf swing, what would it be? He thought I would take time to think about it but I didnt. I said, “Sir, if you always have your arms moving in the same direction at the same time you’re going be fine.” He looked and very puzzled and scratched his head and walked away from me like I didnt know what I was talking about, like I was half nuts, but its true.

Extraordinary Golf
This book, in combination with the enlightenment that PGA Professional Manuel de la Torre brought to my game, took me from a 4 to a +3. Oh, and a little practicing, too.
