If You Had PGA Teaching Pros for 90 minutes...
I will be making a presentation on The Golfing Machine to the Rhode Island/ New England PGA this Fall. I have 90 minutes to make an Impact and change the way golf instruction is viewed in New England. What do you think I should present???

Absolutely, I start every lesson with the Geometry of the Circle. What else?

good man!
90 mins? Thats tough. Sell sizzle? I'd explain that there are two different physics in moving a club- A Swingers pulling throw- out and a Hitter's pushing drive- down- and how sometimes current instruction mixes the two actions into the same instruction.
In the true Jedi nature, Swinger's "Trust the Force" and
Like the X-Files, Hitter's Trust Nothing. Control freaks, they are, yes.

Just stick with the basics - otherwise they will all get lost
To name a few,
What Lag pressure really is....
Plane line tracing....
Extensor Action....
- Things like the essentials and imperatives should be stressed and explained in depth - try not to talk about too wide a range of subjects....

A Vote for
I vote for aiming point!
Keep the mind in the hands.........the hands are easier to moniter than the clubhead.
I think that would open some eyes in a hurry!

Drew,
I've sent you some material via email. After you've reviewed it, call and let's discuss.

Geometry of the circle
Imperatives and essentials, especially lag pressure and balance
Flying wedges! Especially a 'level' right wrist and how the right forearm cocks the left wrist.
Of course, I would personally use the EdZ drills to show all of the above and perhaps an axe handle and rope, a broom and a mop!
To tie it all together - Impact fix and impact hand location/aiming point!

Danger- danger. Got to keep it very very simple. Don't lose them. Got to show those guys that it is in reach to teach.

True - but I think you can show the flying wedges and the concepts of the imperatives and essentials with common terms that wouldn't turn folks off.
"Support" of impact for example!
