My Week at the Perfect Impact Academy

Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Actually, you ought to swing perfectly within only 10 minutes. I am constantly baffled by the assertion/assumption that "swing" is the entirety of golf! What about aim?  Distance control?  Self-management?  The short game – chipping, pitching, and putting/distance and direction cointrol?  Reading greens.  What about sand play?  What about course management?  What about improving your ball striking?  What about catching a fault, and self diagnosis when a virus shows its ugly head?  What about "precisifying" a spray pattern by a 50% increase in accuracy?  What about increasing your FIR, GIR, and putting stats?  What about the Rotella subject of self control and self management?

Perhaps if your book was called "Perfect Impact, But Not Aim or Distance Control, and Only on Full Swings But Not Chips or Pitches or Putts, and Even If You Get it Right It’s Only About 20% of the Game" – yes, perhaps *then* we would have understood.

Arrogance is a sick disease. Further, putting down others to make yourself apear better than others is a childish action. Makes you look the fool. Maybe DL will start a thread soon. Then once you see his credentials, you can attack again. Lucky you. Brad

Response:

Has it occurred to you, George, that if I were to take piano lessons, I wouldn’t necessarily assume that all piano teachers are created equally? Some might have inferior communications skills, yet they still hang out a shingle.  Others might have something less than "master" knowledge, but because they connect with me, they could get me to a level of functional proficiency.  I know that if I were a gifted musician (which I’m not), I might hit a ceiling with with one instructor and need to move on to another if I wanted to "get to the next level."  Such is the nature of the teacher-student dynamic. But let’s get something straight:  You are no Butch Harmon.  You are no David Leadbetter.  You are no Jim Flick.  You are no Rick Smith.  You are no Gary Smith.  You are no Dean Reinmuth.  And you are no Jimmy Day (my coach). Golf instruction is no different than shopping for any other professional service.  Buyer beware.  That’s understood.  The same is true when shopping for a doctor or a dentist, especially nowadays in the age of PPO’s.  Not all schoolteachers are great teachers.  Some are.  Not all lawyers are great litigators.  Some are, some aren’t.  Not all cops are good cops.  Some are bad cops.  Not all carpenters are great carpenters.  Some are.  Such is the nature of life on earth with human beings. What I find objectionable (and always have) is your self-puffery, as if to claim you’re the only one capable of teaching.  You know that’s a lie. Furthermore, just because you hold an academy doesn’t necessarily make you superior to someone who doesn’t.  It just means you put on an academy. Nothing more.  I could put on an academy.  All it would prove is that I put on an academy. Are there bad teachers out there?  Of course there are.  But you make it sound like THAT’S ALL THERE IS OUT THERE, which is just false, and you know it. The reason why someone in your position would hear so many negatives about teachers is that the only people who would attend an academy are people who’ve failed to find an adequate teaching in their home town, either because they haven’t looked very hard or because they’re lazy.  There’s excellent instruction in any major city, and probably superior instruction in most mid-sized towns.  You never hear from the MILLIONS of golfers who have teachers with whom they’re perfectly satisfied because they never attend your academy.  There are a helluva lot of fine single-digit handicap and even scratch players around the world who’ve never attended the George Hibbard School of Golf and Instructor Berating.  In fact, dare I say it? Are there ANY professionals or even mini-tour players who can point to George Hibbard as the one who set them straight?  If there are, we haven’t heard from them.  In fact, your only claim to fame is that you’ve been able to take a lot of 100 shooters and teach them to break 90.  Now I don’t mean to diminish the significance of that feat.  Indeed, to those players, it’s a thrilling accomplishment to cross that next threshold of accomplishment. And my hat’s off to you and to them for getting there.  But let’s face it — players who can’t break 100 don’t need "expert teaching" to get them to a level of proficiency where they can break 90.  Anyone with a modicum of coordination and a basic understanding of swing fundamentals should be able to shoot in the 80s, at least with some degree of regularity, assuming they can chip and putt. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:  you have a different way of framing golf swing fundamentals that may prove helpful to certain people.  I tried it, and had…well…to be kind, we’ll call it "mixed success."  In the end, the fact that my game has started to return to its old (good) form in recent weeks is a result of ignoring all the gobbledy-gook I’ve picked up from you and other guru-wannabes in the past two years and returned to the basics I learned from my instructor from a few years ago.  I’ve recently re-read his book, and my game has suddenly returned.  It’s no coincidence that three of my last four rounds have been in the 70s, including a 78 on a very demanding course that included a quadruple-bogey (two brain farts on that hole).  Could have been a stellar round. Do I mean to imply by all this that your methods have no value?  Absolutely not.  Only that they’re not for me, and that I take exception, as I always have, with your preposterous claim (or implication) of being the only human alive who’s capable of teaching the golf swing. I know better. And so does just about every other good player on the planet. You do a masterful job of hyping yourself.  God knows.  But like most intelligent people intuitively realize, if you have to tell people you’re good over and over, then how good can you really be?  Whenever I hear someone incessantly remind me of how good they are at something, it’s usually a red flag. — Randy                 Troll intolerant.  I took the RSG 2002 Pledge.                "Smoke ‘em out … dead or alive, I don’t care."                                            - G.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I didn’t mean to imply he wouldn’t.  And I have no doubt George is sincerely interested in the success of his students.  I just wonder how effective "coaching from afar" can be with recreational players.  It’s one thing for Tiger to phone Butch and find out what he’s doing wrong.  For one thing, Butch can see his student make several swings on TV, and he knows TW’s tendencies so well that if something is happening, he’ll usually know what’s causing it.  But with a player who himself doesn’t know his own swing that well, and a coach who’s only seen it a few times, it’s hard to imagine how this "remote access" can be all that effective. We’ll be interested to hear about your first sub-par round. — Randy Leaping to a ridiculous extreme does not negate the point. I know well the tendencies of pupils I work with and we often have developed a "rapport on point" that will trigger recollections of points made, drills created, and swing thoughts or pointers.  In addition all my academy pupils take home my book and videes in addition to personalized drills.  And they call me on the phone and/or send videos when in need of help.  Of course I can’t see them in person for the added benefit of that unless they come back or visit, but it is the next best thing.  And after an academy program, my pupils often experience a "new understanding" similar to that intimated by Donnie, i.e.,  that he "knows what to work on" and knows what swing and impact require – the fog is lifted.  Nor is there any prohibition given them to seek competent help when needed, provided that the knowledge of the teacher is checked first. Someone remarked "why not spend the money with a local pro" spread out over time instead of going to an academy.  The answer is most obvious: a lack of confidence, and I will add that in most cases reported to me it is totally justified.  In the resort where I work there are some score of PGA pros on staff: rarely do you see lessons held.  Why?  You tell me.  Average member scores are in the high nineteies.  Besides those who do not wish to improve, there certainly are plenty who would love to!  So why aren’t the lesson tees busy? Could it POSSIBLY occur to you and others that golf lesson are not generically equal.  Some are worthless, some are ingenious. Ignoring this to deny someone his experience does not reflect on that pupil. It reveals a simple lack of realization that teaching varies greatly in quality.  Perhaps some day I will start a "web page" of comments told to me about their bad experiences with "credentialed teachers."     Negative reports on that point are an almost daily occurrence.

Response:

why a four-day course? I thought it only took five minutes to become a par golfer.

No, no, no!  You don’t understand, MLB!  It’s five minutes to a perfect *swing*.  Not five minutes to a perfect golfer.  Or a par golfer. But man, once you’ve invested that five minutes, how far behind can par golf be? Mike – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I attended the Perfect Impact Golf Academy in Palm Coast, FL on  May 6th-9th. It was a very enlightening experience. We worked thoroughly on all facets of the game. I liked the fact that George Hibbard was there full-time to teach, there were no assistant instructors. George was very good at pointing out each of our weaknesses and suggesting the proper drills to work them out. George taught me how to diagnose problems. I am most excited about learning to properly evaluate my game and swing. IMO that is the single most important golf lesson we can learn. The short game instruction alone was well worth the tuition. I will never play without pitching,chipping and putting charts again. The putting technique George teaches is extremely efficient. In our practice round, I was putting as well as one of the other students that was around a 5 handicap.  I am going to the orient next week and look forward to the 4-6 hours of daily *perfect practice* I am now capable of making.  Thanks George, you erased all the questions and doubts I had about my game.

Mike, It’s been a whole lot more than 5 minutes for me, more like 15 months since i took lessons from GH and i’m still not playing par golf yet!! Not to take anything away from George, because i think he is a good guy and he tries hard but this "Five minutes" stuff and "Now Anyone can play par golf" stuff is a lot of crap.   i disagree with the premise that anyone can play par golf.  Some of us just don’t have the raw talent or ability no matter what we do.  That does not mean we enjoy the game any less, but par is not a realistic goal for the overwhelming majority of us, even though it is something certainly worth striving for.   eric

Tell us a few things specifically that Mr. Hibbard taught you, and, how did it translate to better scoring? — ChiliDipper -gt

Specific things that will lead to lower scoring for me- 1) Swing with exhuberant abandon, freely with no stress or tension, absolutley relaxed. 2) I have a tendency to get my right hand too far under my shoulder at the top of the backswing…it gets me in a binded, powerless position….Solution: Reprogram the subconscious with drills that will remedy the problem.   Axe Drill….Lay the club between my right shoulder and neck, raise your hands above your head, turn to the right and turn to the left. The drill gets me in the right position at the top and through. 3) Tendency to Dipsy-doodle or sway Drill: Baseball Swing. 4)Calibrate pitching, chipping and putting. He showed how to develop a stroke that will repeat itself over and over again. It takes all the stress out of your short game. There is a process of practicing it until you get it *perfect*. Amzingly, if I did the drills twice, as in a practice swing, before making a full swing, I was much more consistent. I achieved acceptable results 75-80% instead of 50% of the time. I am also very confident that I can now correct toe, heel, fat or topped shots. I was "lost" prior to studying Perfect Impact.

Seriously, I can’t see how spending four days with George is going to hurt a guy who is trying to learn to break 100.  Although I can’t help wondering what the tuition fee is.  For the same amount, it seems like one could get lessons from a local pro, who’ll actually be there when the inevitable happens — the swing breaks down and needs some fine-tuning.  Of course George likes to have us believe that once a student learns "perfection" he won’t need periodic tweaking.  But even the best player in the world has to call 1-800-BUTCHIE every now and then to schedule another lesson.  Should we conclude that George only takes on students who are more gifted than T. Woods, and therefore won’t need the subsequent refreshers? Randy

I attended the Perfect Impact Golf Academy in Palm Coast, FL on  May 6th-9th. It was a very enlightening experience. We worked thoroughly on all facets of the game. I liked the fact that George Hibbard was there full-time to teach, there were no assistant instructors.

Tell us a few things specifically that Mr. Hibbard taught you, and, how did it translate to better scoring? — ChiliDipper -gt
