Butch Harmon About Golf

I have bought many instructional dvd's and this one is the best so far. Covers everything you need to know to improve your golf game. Great for beginners but I would recommend getting at least 3 golf lessons from a Golf Pro so that you will have a starting point. Read more

This is a great DVD set. I watched both length DVDs and rewatched a few parts. My wife even picked up on a nice drill for wedges. Harmon emphasizes that he does not try to change your swing because we all have some built in tendancies that he can't fix. But he does have several guidelines that he would prefer that you use in your swing. I enjoy his easy going manner of instruction. I also like his use of real golfers in the examples. Of course, he also shows you a lot of Adam Scott and Nick Watney, two that he instructs. And they both have marvelous swings. Many say that Scott now has Tiger's old swing and it sure looks that way, but Scott denies it, of course. Watney's is also beautiful, but more powerful looking. I even watched the interviews with his old pros. I especially liked the one with Greg Norman. You will enjoy these two DVDs and you will likely pick up one or two things that will help your game.

This disc was alright. When I first started golfing 30 years ago I purchased a vhs tape called"golf my way"by Jack Nicholas and I seem to have gotten allot more out of it. While I bet Butch is a hell of a teacher/coach to the pros and probably a really good instructor "in person" to the average golfer I found his video had a little to much "I like to work with what the individuals strengths are" more than teach "one certain way" for everybody. Again, while that approach may work in person it doesn't really work in the "instructional DVD"world. That being said, I still gave it 3 stars due to the fact that through the picking and choosing there's still allot of good information on the disc. In summary I'd have to say if you're just interested in what the great Butch Harmon has to say and/or you're about a14 handycapper looking to get to a 12 then by all means buy it. If you're serious about your game then personal instruction is probably the better Avenue for you. Read more

Butch Harmon is highly respected for his golf instruction. This video is great for the average golfer who wants to improve his or her game. I liked the organization of the DVD into stages of the game. He demonstrates each technique and at times shows them as done by popular PGA professionals. My husband and I both learned plenty and got reminded of some things we had forgotten. It's a bit pricey, but has two DVDs and a lot of good tips. Read more

Hands down, Butch Harmon has the chops to be considered the finest golf instructor in the world. What serious golfer wouldn't want to avail him- or herself of the complete game wisdom of this man? The DVD is brilliantly laid out, allowing users to either work their way through his instruction from beginning to end, or to move easily to the areas of concern for their individual games. Butch is always straightforward and concise in his remarks, which the video enhances with repeat illustrations of key thoughts for every aspect of the game. A longtime follower of the various golf tips offered in monthly golf magazines, I'm going to do myself the favor of simplifying my life and using Butch's DVD as my Bible. If it's good enough for the likes of Tiger, Phil, Greg, Ernie, Adam, Dustin, and Natalie, it's good enough for me. Read more

Was not as advertised. Over priced. Don't get me wrong. If you can get this product with two discs and four hours of instuction it is excellent. But this was a rip off. Read more

I am always looking for ways to improve my golf game. Having taken up golf later in life I still struggle with some of the basics, like best ball position for certain types of shots and stuff like that. I bought this DVD set hoping that some of the advice that Butch had would be helpful to my game and my girlfriend's game. It has helped reinforce many things that I have either been trying to incorporate ito my golf swing or have heard I should be doing but wasn't quite there yet. I must say that his presentation is refreshing in that he is not selling a specific 'swing', but rather things that need to be incorporated into the swing to make it consistent and effective. He goes through the basics in such a way that it is clear why you should be doing something and what the effect is of not doing things the way he advises. I haven't looked at the interviews of the big name golfers that are on the second DVD yet. I suspect that is part of the reason for the higher price of the set. Also, he is sponsored by Titleist and Winn grips, so expect so 'promotional comments' every once in a while. Although I am a high handicap golfer I would think that everyone would benefit from some aspect of Butch's teaching methods and drills. Read more

Why not get advice from the #1 teacher to all the PGA pros? I basically started over with golf and this DVD will set you up with all the basics and the swing is starting to come along. Worth the $35 I paid...A lesson by itself is over $50 / hour. Might as well get the DVD so you can watch over and over. Read more
