Brian,
We look at it THIS way---you are the #1 TGM instructor in Kentucky. Those lists are, for the most part, all politics. I've been sending emails to the Golf Channel for the last 2 years trying to have a full-blooded TGM instructor appear on Academy Live and really talk about TGM, etc. I get a standard "thanks for your interest" response and----nothing happens.
Keep on doing your best--the world will find you. And try to stay away from the surgeons for awhile! Stay healthy! Dr Dave

you're no. 1 in my book. just wanted to say that the lessons my son and i took from you this past friday and saturday in new orleans were invaluable. we both appreciated your knack for making the complex seem so simple. thanks again. and we look forward to seeing you for more lessons. remember, if you're ever in los angeles, please don't hesitate to call.

My problem with the list--or Golf Magazine's list--is that I actually give a rat's hind.

Wayne DeFrancesco, a wonderful non-tgm instructor and past player's club champion and a fine writer to boot, wrote about his experiences getting on the list and again falling off the list. Getting on: you have to answer a list of questions. Wayne figured out the second time around that you have to answer the question the way the panel wants to them to be answered. Not very honest. On falling off: The magazine stopped by to tell him (and get a free lesson) that he was off the list but still on the State list and told Wayne that he didn’t contribute enough ideas for consideration to the magazine. That they were pleased with the lessons but were disappointed in his drive to remain on the list. Wayne said he was too busy teaching. Wayne couldn’t care less about the lists anymore.

You shouldn't. You think they actually get lessons from everyone to rate them? That is the only way to really tell. This is all politics.

I do wish thow that D. Toms would pub you more, but that's just my opinion.

Is Wayne's goal to be the #1 Teacher in Golf?

I haven't spoken with him in a while. I read the articles he writes. Number One like Butchie/Leadbetter? I would say no. Wayne is on that short list of instructors that loves to 'teach.' Being a cheap source of magazine cover stories (that gets rejected anyway if the past is a measuring stick) as the criteria


But business is business. Same in my profession. When I didn’t have an assignment I had to be in NYC, taking editors and art directors out to lunch, shmoozing and kisses azz to people I didn’t even like- but had the work. After I while I thought my job was picking up the daily tab. Just glad I wasn’t a fashion photographer.

Whose’s number One? Anyone touched by Homer’s Marietta ghost. And that’s you too Brian.
