It's a Dirty Job
Certainly you have heard the expression, "It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it." What comes to your mind? Ed Norton working in the sewer? Your friendly Roto-Rooter man? The guy who comes over to pump out your septic
tank?

Who's "dirty" job is it to tell you that most of your friendly, well dressed golf pros have their hands deeply embedded in your pocket? What golf pro will tell you that most of his "fellow golf pros" are ripping you off. Most of them have not only any earthly idea how to convey the golf swing to you but that they are trading bad information for your good money and your good money becomes their good money.

Too extreme? My students don't think so. Why are you playing golf anyway?

Would enjoying yourself in the short span we call life have anything to do with it? And why do you continue to search for more golf information when all
it does is make you worse? I just don't get it.

Would you like to take this test? Can you step up to the ball and draw it, draw it again, fade one, hook one, and then slice one in that order? Do you know where the power comes from in the golf swing? If you are having a problem with your swing can you fix it yourself?

If your wonderful golf pro is worth his salt, you can. What golf pro will stand above the crowd, stick his neck out and receive nasty letters from other golf pros and is keenly aware of the epidemic of rotten information that makes E-bola seem like a hot fudge sundae? Let me guess?

I get mail! It's always the same...frustrated, confused and ready to quit. What a shame. It need not be. But, as long as we ignore what is going on, WE ARE DOOMED.

Here is a letter you may enjoy that showed up the other day.

"Jim, I have had your videos for sometime now, but always thought that it sounded too easy that there had to be more to the golf swing than that. But after reading books and watching videos of teachers that charge an arm and a leg, I am quitting. I am packing all my golf books and videos in a box tonight. I am going to sit down and watch both of your tapes. I am going to start applying the things that you teach in the swing, chipping and putting. I am going to stick with your method from now on. No more twenty swing shoots.

When I play the Hands high, head still and hands high will be my only concern, good shot or bad I will use the same swing on the next shot. I am going to practice the swing before I leave for work and when I get home and at other times when feasible. I will look forward to writing you a letter of how my game has improved.

What brought about this decision, I just watched Rick Smiths video and thought, how in the world can someone remember all of these things and position... and his sounds easy compared to Ledbetter. So I am going to work on the "The Swing's the Thing." I hope it will improve the fun I have on the course and my score.

Just wanted to let you know of my decision. Take care and let me know when you write a book or have another video."

PS Should I cancel my order on the Short Game Bible by Dave Pelz?
