Unfortunately, the internet is turning golf instruction into a ridiculous world of I am right and you are wrong. Ultimately the best teachers will individually teach golfers. I want a teacher that can improve my swing, based on my personal tendencies and physical ability. I bet two hundred years ago, two Scots got into an argument about whether the hands or the pivot swung the club. They probably resolved the dipute over a bottle of single malt and a fist fight. Now, the internet permits an argument without any consequence. There are websites with forum topics bashing instructors as opposed to learning about the golf swing. I will no longer visit sites that focus only on controversy that exists only in the minds of people who like hearing themselves talk and will not make my game one stroke better. Did the Mclean video do anything for my game? Nope, waste of time. A guy who creates a method and markets the crap out of it makes a video saying methods are bad. Gee I wished you told me that before I bought your book 20 years ago. There is nothing wrong with science on the golf swing. I hold little interest in it because I have only improved when an instructor told me how to play better based on what he saw in my swing. I have no doubt Homer Kelley would have appreciated scientific discovery on the swing and incorporated it into his masterful work. Unfortunately he passed before any of the technological breakthroughs. Criticizing him in any way for being incomplete is like criticizing Pasteur for not recognizing modern refrigeration in his findings. Let's argue golf swing, not who says what and whether it is right. I saw some pics recently of Miller Barber. Watching him swing is proof of the flexibility inherent in playing the game.
