Probably the best golf DVD there is, September 3, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Golf School (DVD)
Finally a made for DVD golf instructional. Simon Holmes is a real trainer and coach - and it shows. This is not about "once-in-a-million" shots by some pro that are impossible for anybody else to do but about solid instruction for all level of players. With over two hours on the DVD the different segments (e.g. the Swing) are systematically developed and presented. The DVD navigation also allows you to go directly to all relevant areas, for example Impact drills for slicers or Controlling distance in bunker shots. This is a DVD that you'll come back to many times.

Not for absolute begginers, June 2, 2006
This review is from: Digital Golf School (DVD)
THE BAD
I can't say I dislike this item, but I did not like it either. Even though I'm still a novice golfer (score between 95-105) and been playing for about 18 months, I've read a lot of golf fundamentals articles and studied like 4 other DVDs ...(yes I'm an instruction junky) and I can say that this instrutor (Simon Holmes) misses to point out many important fundamental factors that influence a good swing, and even though I like how the DVD has a well structured lesson category listing, he does not explain deeply enough on many things.
The filming production seems to have a good intention for this DVD, but it lacks camera closeups/slowmotions on the ball, clubhead, ball lies and graphical enhancements for better understanding of what he want's to explain. I mean with today's technology on DVD production, this seems to be a cheap one.
THE GOOD
He has very good tips on many subjects that I think they're transparent for a very beginner.
If this is not your first instructional DVD, and just want to gather a new bunch of tips, then buy it. Otherwise a better selection that I can reccomend for a complete golf school DVD, is the Wally Armstrong's Ultimate Golfing Experience. The set is very cheap because it's a compilation of old '80s and 90'videos from that instructor, and from the 5 DVD's in the box, you can thrash 2 if you like, but for $17 bucks...HEY!! is worth it!
I hope this helps and saves you some money.

This Man IS a Genious, May 8, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Digital Golf School (DVD)
I have been looking for a good golf video for quite some time, then I discovered Digital Golfschool. If you are new to the golf game, or looking for a few good drills for a slice or hook, this video is a must have!! If your a beginner, this video is priceless, Simon is clear and concise and will bring your game from horrible to the point where you can go on the course with some confidence. Make no mistake, this video (like many others) will not make you a pro, but if you practice what he says, your game will change for the better very quickly!!
