DD,

That is the danger of teaching feels, the feels like to me has caused more problems in teaching golf than any other thing in my opinion. Learn feel from mechanics, not mechanics from feel!!!
Your feel is your structure, coould be right for some but not all!!

Total agreement.

Learning from a celebrity pro or instructor that teaches feel is a dead end street. Most don’t realize that it is their “feel” they are conveying. I have always felt that perhaps the greatest gift Homer Kelley gave the golfing world is a consistent terminology to help teach. And yet, this is the number one gripe many have about TGM. Feel is “seems to be” and seems to be can be all over the place. Homer isn’t.

I don’t think general golf instruction is as bad as I thought it was, it is their ambiguous language that confuses and prevents students from “getting it.” I remember (as if I couldn’t) the ease Lynn taught us at the workshop- hours, not days or months was all it took to learn.

Hit down with short irons- true.
Sweep with woods, well no, it is still down, not flat. Just swallower, but DOWN.
