Butch Harmon About Golf DVD Review

[Hanks]

The latest arrival to the NE office of THP is an instructional DVD by one of the best golf coaches on the planet, Butch Harmon. It's a 2 disc cornucopia of instruction and fitness tips totaling almost 4 hours that comes with an instruction booklet too which acts like a summary sheet for both DVD's. The booklet has specific tips geared toward everything from preventing slices to executing a flop shot. I'm really excited to review this and am looking forward to getting some fresh perspectives on how to fix some age old problems.

I wonder if Titleist requires him to say that every golfer should use a Pro V1 or Pro V1x

Hope you pull some great tips out of it, looking forward to your full thoughts.

Very interested in your thoughts on this one Hanks, I love the way that Harmon approaches his teaching and the game.

When he was a pro here in Houston, he used to be on the radio all of the time... he is very funny and entertaining...

I bought a new set of grips from Golfworks and got this video included in my order. It was a nice surprise when I opened the box.

Hanks won't, he's a Callaway Staffer! You are getting this at a great time to prepare for July!

Butch Harmon Instructional DVD set

Butch Harmon Instructional DVD set

This year I am serious and determined to become a much better golfer. In years past I attempted to do this by just playing and practicing a lot. Based on results so far I'm not good at teaching myself something I don't know. I signed up for a series of 9 lessons from my PGA pro and I have also ordered a new instructional DVD set made by Butch Harmon.

The 2 DVD's have over 4 hours of instruction covering 57 chapters and more than 250 specific tips. I am going into this a bit skeptical but I am optimistic that these DVD's will offer good instruction that in conjunction with my PGA pro lessons will yield good results. One thing I like about the DVD's is the ability to go back go through a specific lesson at anytime. As I receive these and go through them I will keep you up to date on my thoughts and do my best to walk you through what these DVD's have to offer.
