There is very little original thought on display in golf instruction, and the truth is that every morsel of such originality is eventually taken by those who are looking for ideas and used for their own benefit. In some cases the ideas are paraphrased to make it seem that they weren’t borrowed, and in other cases the owner of the original thought is credited for the information, which is, of course, the more honest way to do things. There are other instances in which information is blatantly plagiarized and no credit is given, which is what I believe is on display in this video. The irony here is that Chamblee took great pains to disparage me and my teaching methods in our little Facebook dustup last year, referring to me as a nobody (“I don’t know who you are or what you do”) who sat in a dark room drawing lines. How interesting that here we see Chamblee using the exact same technology, drawing the same pictures (oh, he uses dots instead of lines – see “paraphrasing” at the top of the page), and incorporating my ideas on hand path (which I introduced in my videos “Right Arm Action”, “Hogan’s Secret” and an entire video regarding it – “Hand Movement From the Top of the Swing: A Look at the Top 20 Golf Players in the World Rankings”) without giving me any credit and Brandel probably watched on Youtube in the many videos I have done on Tiger and other Tour pros regarding hand path.
The more I watch Chamblee the more I realize that he will do anything to fill up the space he is required to fill up by his network and that he will try to make it as controversial and/or intelligent sounding as he can in any way possible. The result is a wildly inconsistent view of the same subject matter, most notably Tiger’s swing, which to Brandel is terrible when he doesn’t win and great when he does. It is a model of expediency, and I would fully expect that someday Chamblee will run for political office, where his particular talents could be fully realized.
