While you were comatose...This is what happened to our game. $100+ for golf lessons. $500 for a driver, exorbitant prices for carts and green fees....if you can get a tee time. Golf course personnel who "do you a favor" to let you play "their course." All day shot to play 18 holes.

Arrogant golf pros con__vince you that a series or two of golf lessons at hundreds of dollars a series will make a difference. And do these lessons have benefit?....Hell Yes, for the golf pro. The golfer is more confused and frustrated when the "pro" is finished fleecing him of his kids college education money. Does the golf pro care? Not if your check clears!

Pick up any golf magazine. What are you looking at? Fashion! Aloof, nose in the air, gotta have this gotta have that crap. The golf magazine is as real as Michael Jackson.  Are you buying it, are you buying the equipment, the dress, the hype, the status, the insanity? What do golf schools that cost thousands of dollars a week to stay at some posh, plush hotel do for your game?. Your wife shops while the golf school pros throw "tip" after tip after tip at you. Tons of tips Dude, Hey you want your moneys worth, don't you? At least your wife will have something to show for shopping. She will NOT be acquiring a bag of bad habits, at the end of your bad dream vacation. But you will, I guarantee it.

What has happened to this wonderful game of ours? More high tech, freeze frame "instruction nonsense, and you 'went for it." Let's see your swing. Looks like a bunch of junk yard parts to me. No power, inconsistent, and down right goofy looking. Can you fix your swing yourself something goes wrong. You have lots of loot invested, seems like you should have something to show for your empty pockets. You have read 317,039 tips on how to cure your slice and you still slice. You have read 749,208,488 tips on how to get more power and you can't hit the damn thing out of your shadow. And you know what?......You think the next tip will finally reveal the secret you've been missing. My prediction?... You will probably die a Lizzie Borden clone. But, you will have nice looking clothes (for Spike Jones), a very costly set of chimney cleaners, skin cancer, a red balance in you check book, and cirrhosis trying to keep up with the local golf pro sitting next to you at the 19th hole.

Your best golf lesson? No lesson. My gift to you? Brain Surgery....remove everything you think you know about the golf swing. Because, Bunkie, if you know "a lot" about the golf swing,your swing stinks. Yes, stinks. Why, because the more you know about the golf swing the more contrived, artificial, inconsistent, powerless, ridiculous it becomes. Stop for a moment.....Think about it....you read, you study, you spend money, you suck!

You are walking along on the ice. The next thing you know you are flat on your butt. You are driving down a neighborhood street, a ball bounces out between two cars. How many feet does your car travel before your foot hits the brake? The golf swing takes two seconds. From the top of the backswing to the ball is somewhere between a forth and a fifth of a second. As fast as it takes you to fall on ice....How much time do you have to think?

Yet, Dr. Einstein, you believe that if you keep doing what you have been doing you will learn to play golf. Keep buying the mags, forking out your money to the golf pro so he can show you his shell game, buy the threads, play at the expensive golf courses, buy the clubs make of Kriptonite. Support this billion dollar industry. They are laughing at you all the way to the bank!

They're coming to take me away ha ha, They're coming to take me away He he, to the Funny Farm.

The Anti-Pro is NOT saying... "I know what I'm doing and NO one else does." The Anti-Pro articles are the effect of a 50 year study on what works and what does NOT work regarding improving ones golf game. In essence, MOST golf instruction will do more harm than good. How much is MOST??... It is likely that over 90% of golfers/students trade substantial money for ridiculous "tips" that are practiced and then become "bad" habits. Eventually students become frustrated, confused and quit golf thinking they are NOT smart enough or talented enough for the game. The golf instructor must understand how to activate the motor skill part of the students brain to reach the potential of that students capabilities. Less than 5% of all golf "instructors" are gifted enough to impact positive benefits for the student, the remaining 95% should be flipping burgers at some fast food diner.

Introduced to golf in 1948 at age 8, Jim McLellan quickly became known as the "Whiz Kid" with an incredible swing and a gifted ability to instruct. At age 15, students came to him at his family owned golf course from four surrounding states for lessons. Jim was consistently breaking par, owned 2 course records and was "the skinny kid" who could drive the ball 300+ yards. Jim attended Arizona State University at Tempe on a golf scholarship and graduated from the PGA Golf School in Long Beach California in 1960.
