"It's a Dirty Job"
by Jim McLellan

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 "pros?" have NO earthly idea how to convey the golf swing to you.  They are trading bad information for your good money.  Bad information means bad habits that make quitting a 3 pack a day habit seem like a cake walk.

Too extreme? Feedback that pours into our school provides the imputus to write these articles.  Where else do you get a chance to eyeball the other side of the coin?

Short Quiz. 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 email! 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.

Something for nothing, you ask.  OK.  Forget everything you know about the golf

swing.  Burn your magzs and books.  Fire your golf pro.  Go work on your tan at the

beach the next time you think you need to check in at some conterfit golf school.

Instead, grab your club and head for the back yard.  Become 7 years old again.

Nice big realaxed back swing and follow through.  Swing around your head.....in

other words.....the head stays "fairly" still.  You don't think about your swing.  You

just swing.  The club swings you.  You are not there.  Some "mysterious" force

swings the club...You DON'T.

There you have it.  Something for nothing.  Now what are you going to do with

all that extra money and that beautiful NEW golf swing. Sure n' begorra, 'tis a miracle!

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.
