Jimmy Ballard

[duckhook]

Last night I started a thread that was deleted by the powers to be for reasons not stated. By osmosis I have deduced that my wording may have been too "inflammatory". So.......I will try again.This time in a non inflammatory manor

I have never seen Jimmy Ballard hit a golf ball. Does anyone know of a video clip on the net or does anyone have a video clip of his swing.

Thanks

I have seen him play golf at Doral back in the early 80's and he was a very good player. Having said that, why would you ask this question?
Jimmy was teaching 4 players who at the time held all 4 major trophies in their hands. Are you trying to belittle him?
I do not prescribe to his teaching completely but he has a lot of great elements that were revolutionary at the time. I did spend a full day with him last year and he is a wonderfully insightful and entertaining man.
As of today he is both older and has had medical issues that inhibit his ability to play the game.
For what it's worth I have seen Bob Toski play at least 20 times and maybe witnessed him give lessons 100 times and while he was and is an amazing player I wouldn't put his teaching anywhere near Jimmy's.

I'm curious as well why you are asking?

I've seen him hit balls on 2 different occasions, mostly for demonstration purposes. He can hit a golf ball pretty well.
