Please VOTE for the Video That I Should Enter for Golf Channel's Instructor Search

  
  
  

Help me, Help you

 

Hope you are enjoying the milder climate and the transition into football season…I mean, fall. Since we last spoke, I’ve been working on yet another project and I’m reaching out to my loyal “constituents” for a little help.

 

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Golf Channel has a contest running for golf professionals like myself. It’s called “Golf Channel’s next Instructor.” Golf professionals must submit videos that express what “sets them apart as a golf teacher.” Four finalists will be chosen to host their very own half hour instruction special later this year and viewers will vote on who THEY believe should become the “next Instructor on Golf Channel.”

 

Well what does this all mean to you? It means that I need to enlist your help. You all know me, you know my instruction and so I’m reaching out to you.

 

I’ve created 2 videos that are supposed to “set me apart as a golf teacher.” I will post each of these on two following blog posts and YOUR comments will help me choose which video I select for competition. A “vote” is simply putting a “Yes” or a full comment in the comment section of the video of your choice. If you put a comment, that’s your vote for that video.  A comment for each video will cancel out your vote.

 

Your feedback will be critical in helping me pick the right video to use for this. I look forward to reading your candid thoughts and comments. Thanks for your help and for allowing me to be your instructor and coach.

Both are very good. I prefer video #2- it applies to my golf issues better than video #1. We all want and need consistency.

Great points in both videos but in my mind the points in video #1 seem to help me more.

video 2 for players who already have the fundamental swing concept of video 1. Video 1 for golfers wanting to improve their ball striking.

#1 for sure.

Video #1 - the fundamental concept: swing is circular and concept of skills to execute that swing. Video 2 is helpful follow up.

I vote for #2

I've already voted, but wanted to say best of luck, Charlie.

Former student - I tend to share some of the observations of Mr. Foley. First, I don't believe that the title 'The Big Three' of the Full Swing stays on message. Solid contact, direction and distance are not really components of the 'Full Swing' but results. From my perspective, the [Elements of the Winning Swing - consistency, contact, confidence] components of 'solid contact' is what the video is really addressing and is the message that you have always emphasized. Distance and direction are simply the anticipated and desired results of those applications - so, I would rethink the message and the title if you have time. 
 
 
 
Delivery of the message - you seem in an unusual rush to communicate your message, which was somewhat distracting - almost as if you were having to create your message while standing there - I would prefer a slower, more measured delivery, which is the way you actually speak. The white golf glove was a distraction as well because you tend to use your hands a great deal while speaking - so, I would lose the glove during the introduction. Moments of looking down range to where you have hit the ball are rather meaningless, because there is no ability to see the flight or landing of the ball -so while it would be the normal thing to do, I don't know that time adds anything to this video. 
 
 
 
The Big Three of Communicating - is to speak to [rather than at] your targeted audience, at a pace that you would use in conversation and know and stay on the message you wish to share. 
 
 
 
No. 1 is the better of the two, but it needs polish and thought to make a solid impression on your listeners. 
 
 
 
Good Luck Charlie

Charlie: 
 
 
 
Video #1 is my vote...although both are very well done. Thanks for the free videos and help. Best of luck in the "contest".....as a Reynolds resident I sure hope you win.

Video #2 is the best. One is too technical. Trying to get your hands to a certain position takes a lot of effort. #2 is more about the mental aspect which is 90% of the golf swing.
Posted @ Tuesday, September 07, 2010 1:39 PM by paul mooney
I think that video #2 is the best... the drills in #1 are great, but getting consistency is "KING" - pun intended

Both are great!!! 
 
I think I would pick #1.

Charlie: You're a great teacher, just like your friend Tom Fowler. But I vote for Video 1. Good information well-presented. Now if I can only do what you and Tom say.

Video #1 is my vote, its has worked the best for me.  
Good Luck
Posted @ Tuesday, September 07, 2010 7:08 PM by Canaan Prater
I vot efro video #1. They are both good but #1 has better instruction techniques. JN
Posted @ Wednesday, September 08, 2010 8:42 PM by Jerry Nicholson
Both serve me well so either should serve you well---you could flip a coin over which to submit !
Posted @ Wednesday, September 08, 2010 10:25 PM by anne
#1 is the most helpful and Charlie CAN get his points across very good.
Posted @ Sunday, September 12, 2010 6:48 PM by Jeep Marks
Video 1 without a doubt. I have been working on the line drill and it has made all the difference for me.

Hey Charlie, I see you changed the cover image on the front of your book. The guy on the original cover was much better looking! ;)

The fact that art is so close to sports in some situations is probably related to the nature of sports. The definition of "sports" above put forward the idea of an activity pursued not just for the usual purposes, for example, running not simply to get places, but running for its own sake, running as well as we can.
