What are those circular things in front of the students? mirrors?
Yes, Milan, those would be mirrors. I got the idea from Paul Bertholy, one of the more famous names in golf instruction in those days, when I trained under him during a three-day course at his home. Below is a September 1983 photo of Paul and me in his back yard near Pinehurst, North Carolina. Note the famed Bertholy Swing Bar in my left hand. And see, Luke, I told you my hair was blond!
Also, I've included another shot of how I trained students using the mirrors. First of all, check out that video set-up. It is commonplace today, but I promise it was 'anything but' in 1982! Students would pose in the Twelve Sections of the Stroke (except Preliminary Address, of course) as I called out the G.O.L.F. alignments and walked around adjusting everybody. Take a look at these guys in Section Eleven -- the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position). These are 'average guys' and they look like TOUR players! In the interest of full disclosure, I'm still working on the lady in front. Got to Flatten that Left Wrist and get those Arms extended!
