As Seen On TV: Once Again TV Announcers Ignore What Is Right In Front Of Them

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Every time Tiger plays the announcers simply have to come up with something. If he’s playing good, they’ll tell you why, and if he’s playing bad, they’ll tell you why. But how often do they actually get it right? Always seems that whenever Tiger is playing good they seem to think he’s not dipping as much.

Online Students: John Neeson

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

This is John’s second online lesson (the first 3 months ago) and you will see that progress has definitely been made on the backswing.
