6 Week Golf Lesson Review

There is one thing I am enormously cautious about and that is recommending a golf instruction program to and for beginning golfers. A bad beginning often means the game loses a player for life. Golf is the poorer for this failure and you seldom get a second chance to reclaim the new player.

Frankly, most golf videos are simply too complex and technical for a beginner to absorb and benefit from. Add to this the fact that the whole field of golf instruction is riddled with more “tips” than a Saturday afternoon at the race track. Let me add on the final coup de grace: the whole golf teaching business has more contradictory advice and theories than even those advice columnists who are dedicated to telling you what it takes to be a good parent.

And lets be realistic here. Unless you are the Trump family, most beginners don’t have the cash to learn at the feet of a Leadbetter, Harmon or Haney or even from any of their scaled down versions among the PGA teaching fraternity. They simply don’t have a year or better to spare to acquire some level of mastery. They actually have lives outside of golf.

Let’s look at the usual learning curve of the beginner. The initial “learning centre” is usually the local driving range accompanied by a spouse, parent or friend. The dominant emotion of the new learner is predictably fear (think here of getting up in grade two and reading aloud). A few full blown misses can quickly transform this fear into runaway panic. The autonomic system is now on full overload with the control panel flashing out the message “God save me from looking like a real dork here!”

When in this complete survival mode, the beginner will resort to the most destructive of golf behaviours - the classic lift and chop move - in an attempt to approximate club/ball contact and to at least propel that little piece of gutta percha forward. Let’s face it guys, we don’t have a scenario here which is likely to promote the most fulfilling and positive of experiences.

Here is something that I think we all can agree upon. The aim is to learn how to “swing the club” through a full and predictable arc ( granted we may have many ideas of what that arc might ultimately look like). But a swing and an arc it must be. Accomplish this and the ball, almost inadvertently, gets in the way and is propelled unthinkingly in a pleasing trajectory. Do it several times and you are almost certain to have gained a golfer for life.

I apologize for taking so much time to set the groundwork for this review, but it was necessary to highlight the genius behind the 6 Week Golf Lesson video system. They have eliminated the “lift and chop” component completely from the swing. How? They removed the source of the problem: the ball.

You begin at home quietly and quickly mastering the bite size bits of the swing. Each day constrains you to 5 to 10 minutes of learning, no more, no less. Without you realizing it, they sneak up on you 6 weeks later and voila, you can produce a full and masterful swing. Sort of like driver’s ed for golfers. Mastery is when you don’t have to “think” of what you are doing, you simply push gears, move feet and enjoy the drive!

Does this system work? Well a host of newbies from high schoolers, housewives and high end executives sing its praises. They actually look more like seasoned golfers than many a player sporting a double digit handicap earned over many seasons of applied balletic artistry.

Who are the people behind this method? Remember that young fellow, Rory McIlroy, who this past February won the Dubai Desert Classic at age 19. Well, the gentleman who taught Rory is the one who has finally opened up to share his secrets with a whole new generation of golfers, young and old alike. I actually thought he could have been on the video more since he is that helpful.

My rating (and remember I am a tough marker) is 4 and a half stars. When I get more feedback from my readers I might be prepared to revise it upward. So if you want to quietly stun your friends at how sneaky good you can become, check it out for yourself by going here.
