[12 piece bucket]

A while back, I worked with a PGA TOUR player who had been following the advice of two very famous instructors. Collectively, and over a period of THREE years, they had been instrumental in his acquiring the "Immelman Golf Magazine" alignment. I won't disclose the name of the player here -- he was to win a few months later -- but at this stage of his frustration, "MC" was his middle name.

But, once he understood the true nature of (1) "wide" during the Stroke (vs. World Famous Instructor #1's version) and (2) the "release" (vs. World Famous Instructor #2's version), he began pounding the ball as he had not done in years. An hour into our session and with both of us in awe of these outstanding results, he dropped his club to the ground, put his hands on his hips and stood tall. With fire in his eyes, he stared at the horizon and said:

"I want to kill somebody."

There was no smile on his face.

"I've wasted three years of my life."



Better late than never.

It truly is AMAZING at what passes as good instruction . . . even at the highest levels a bad concept can wreck everything.
