Favorite Teachers - pick 3

[mcflog]

If money, location etc... was not an issue The 3 teachers you feel could give (minus your hard work) you the game you always wanted.

I know on this forum the results would be a little skewed. Most places you would get Hardy, Harmon, Haney, Leadbetter etc. But just having a stable of tour pros doesn't make you a great teacher. My 3 who I would trust, who when they say something I listen. Not just because of their knowledge, but for their genuine respect of the game and their fellow man. Pros who just get "it".

In no particular order

Brian Manzella
Redgoat - Brady Riggs
NAT - David Orr

Just one mans opinion, but I think quality should be recognized, and garbage ( or as Brian says BULLLONEY) should be challenged.

 

[Dobber]

Top 3 (okay, maybe 4)

Although Redgoat would be on my list, I would need to experience each of the TGM teachers that continue to educate us....since I do not have any experience with any (other than forums and I do like Brian's best in that regards), my top 3 (err 4) are:

I. Stallian
B. Doyle
C. Evans
L. Blake

Favorite 3 Teacher's

Instead of Brady Riggs, I would add Ben Doyle to this elite group of swing educator's. They all have a quality that we all should appreciate and that is their willingness to share their well earned knowledge. How did they find this knowledge, by spending alot of hard earned money going all over the world to learn. What I have spent in the last six years would shock most on this website.

Hmmm....

Remember the THESIS:

Pick the 3 teachers you feel could give (minus your hard work) you the game you always wanted.

The is MUCH different than the THREE MOST KNOWLEGABLE.

exactly. Already a couple names been mentioned who (IMO) may really know the book, or their information, but whom I don't think I would get anything from as a teacher. No I'm not naming names.

1. Brian
2. Brady
3. Shawn Hester (local pro)

Pat Damon
Gary Blaisdell

Some people need to know only "how" others need to know the "why" as well.

 

[Jared Willerson]

Brian Manzella

Bobby Schaeffer

David Orr

IMO I would receive the most valuable lesson from an instructor who has the knowledge but who also has experienced golf at the highest levels himself. I don't want to take a lesson from someone who hasn't put their techniques under the gun.

Anyone ever taken lessons from a former PGA Tour player...who hit balls ...idolized their swing ....and couldn't convey to the pupil how to go about building a swing.

 

[MrMichael]

I think I'd take only two...
B. Manzella
S. Utley

 

[Michael Jacobs]

best i have taken lessons from while training were:
Ben Doyle (tgm's owe it to themselves to take a trip to work with Ben, been there 7 times and Ben has been to my club twice)
Greg mchattan - Spent 3 days with him in 2001
Rick Nielsen (took my first ever lesson with him when I was 8 years old)
Brian Manzella (best website and most spirited pro in tgm)
and Ted Frick GSED (great instructor and nicest guy in the business - did my 1st ever tgm school in college with him in 1998)

 

[Steve Khatib]

I know this is more than 3 but I like these individuals based on these reasons as strengths that they are worlds best practice at( they are still competent in many other areas of instruction)
Ben Doyle - Really component and structure focused

Gregg Mc Hatton - Really cause and effect and energy system oriented

Bill McKinney - Deep understanding of association of other environment factors without all of the meditation crap

Bobby Schaeffer- Great tour player trainer, short game and practice techniques management etc

Brian Manzella - He could teach all of the difficult students better than anyone on this planet. I wish I had him some days on my lesson tee when I teach people that wont chip pitch or even punch.

Joe Daniels - If we had a 6 year university G.O.L.F. DEGREE he would be the professor of acedemia. Very detailed and structured in presenting with power point etc.

Doug Du Chateau - He could write a back page interesting golf column each week with left field concepts in the NY Times or host a radio show on NPR about golf. Bright man.

Michael Finney- he could just demonstrate all day long and then I could listen to him respond to BS Kool Aid presenters at PGA Summit. Gtreat proceedure a real down to earth no nonsense guy!
