OK, bringing this topic back to life.

I just went to GolfTec. Pretty impressive setup. Although pretty expensive also.

Let me tell you about my experience. I went to GolfTec at the local Golfsmith and met with the instructor. Not a bad guy, except when I asked if he also sold used cars, his facial expression changed slightly. I checked his PGA credentials and they have him listed as an apprentice instructor, both guys there are apprentice instructors. I guess that is OK, but I did not like how he attacked Todd Sones and his golf Academy in Vernon Hills. Todd Sones is a top 10 instructor as ranked by Golf Digest and his staff has a minimum of 12 years teaching each.His golf school is also ranked in the top 25 by Golf Digest. But I rant.

So Matt hooked me up to their swing monitor with this really cool sensor belt and video cameras and I swung away with a driver and a 6i. They have a system that measures shoulder angle, tilt and turn as well as hip tilt and turn and a couple other things and can stop the video at any of 14 different positions. I got to see my swing on video for the first time. Has anyone watched any of the Haney Project with our buddy Sir Charles? Well I was not quite that bad, but really ugly. The only thing that did not have red marks was 'impact' position. There was yellow in shoulder turn but a good hitting position. The video showed some real nasty stuff. Too much shoulder roll at setup, and follow through off plane, etc, etc. It showed some good stuff also, very late club release, which Todd said gave great swing speed but did not make up for the lack of extension in the back swing. He said it was robbing me of distance and accuracy. The off plane follow through is the cause of my intermittent slice. Too many parts moving in the wrong directions.

Alright, I think the video and instant feedback is great. But they want $95 for a full initial analysis of 1 hour and then $630 for ten half hour lessons or $365 for 5 half hour lessons.

Any comments from the peanut gallery?

My game is a laugh right now.

Hey guys have not been here in a while pulled off a slick manuever and broke my right elbow a couple weeks ago. DOn't know how long I will be sidelined. Golf lessons on hold for now.

Where in Canada are you going, Tig?

I signed up for a golf class during summer session at my university. It was the best thing that ever happened to my game. I was a real hacker, and the first time I played after the class was over I shaved 12 strokes off of my average 18-hole score. My drives were straighter and my short game was much improved.

Good, everyone should laugh and have fun when they play.
