My buddy has been trying to learn golf for about a year and a half now. I kind of let him go on his own journey trying to figure out what he could on his own. I tried to get him started on playing because he told me he wants to break 100 by the end of the year. The last few sessions and times playing were pretty horrendous. I grew tired of seeing him try to swing a wide open clubface through the ball. He is your typical OTT cupped wrist toe down at the top hang back slicer. He had never hit a right to left, ever.
About a week ago I showed my buddy the NSA video. He only got through the twistaway and the tilt before he wanted to start wacking balls. A few days ago he calls me up and tells me "That Manzeelan guy is a genius! Oh my god, twistaway is so amazing!" He told me he actually hit a draw and even got a shot to hook. I couldn't really believe it, but that's how I fixed my slice, so I guess it was possible. Never seen this kid hit a real crisp shot, but maybe...
Today we went to the range at my home course. He proceeded to hit shots like I have never ever seen him hit before. I could hear the compression, and the ball flight was actually penetrating and going for some distance. Every club. He still struggles a little with his driver, but the ball is fading and flying 225 rather than the weak cut across 160 yard banana crap he was used to hitting.
I decide to give him a little playing lesson because he is anxious to establish a handicap and start playing tournaments. His mental game sucks...well... He proceeded to par the first hole, a 500 yard par 5, both shots down the middle, with a wedge in for 3, hitting a green in regulation, and having a tap in for par. He had never GIR'd or parred a par 5 in his life. We are standing on the par 3 5th, he is 5 over. He stuffs his shot 3 feet from the pin and kicks it in for birdie. The second birdie in his life. We finish the 9 holes and I ask him what he shot. He 3 putted the last hole (GIR par 5) for 45.
On behalf of my buddy, I would like to thank you, Brian, for being able to produce such an outstanding video that absolutely works. He couldn't crack an egg and in a week he's out here giving me goosebumps. Just watching his genuine satisfaction on the road to great golf and never slicing again puts a huge smile on my face.
