Should I worry that Ruth is better than me ?

May 10, 2002

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

The **** is based on someone who is at my level, one of the worlds worst golf players. As a beginner with only a couple of lessons under my belt, I feel this is a wonderful video for people like me. It makes me realize that somewhere out in the world, there are other people who have the same problems as me. It made me feel a little bit better about my game. The main things this video taught me are:
i) Enjoy the game, it doesn't have to be as serious as everyone makes it.
ii) I don't have to memorize the 1000 golfing tips each month in Golf Digest. Norsworthy stresses that many people make a simple act very complicated.
iii) The basic basics. How to simply hit the ball from the tee, to the green, to the hole. This actually has improved my game, so I have certainly learned some things. For certain, I would beat Remmy and he's had more lessons than me(unless he cheated and drove off the ladies tees again).
iv) Why we don't see many French people on the PGA/European tours :-)
For the better player, unless you enjoy watching 80's golf styles, I think it would be a bit too basic for you. It really should be renamed "Good Golf is Easy for Beginners". As other reviewers have stated, costs a bit much for a 20 year old lesson so it looses the 5th star for me (mainly as I was hoping I didn't dress anything like that when I was in the 80's).
Recommended for anyone just starting golf.

So bad, it's funny!

February 26, 2002

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is a touching story of deaf-mute Ruth and severely mentally and physically handicapped Remy, and their attempts to learn the game of golf. In all seriousnes, this DVD is awful. First of all, this is an instructional series from 1983! Though it is cool to see persimmon woods and hickory(!) shafts, many of the teaching methods are outdated. The instructor, John Norsworthy's putting stroke is fundamentally unsound, and I cringe at the thought that beginners might attempt to mimic his knock-kneed stance, his wristy stab at the ball, and ball position which is placed too far inside his sightline.
I also can't imagine that an experienced golfer would actually learn something from this video! 45-minutes with a qualified PGA instructor would cover all the bases and then some.
Back to Remy and Ruth, the two hapless beginners. Norsworthy gets so fed up with them, that he throws sand in their face with unabashed glee! He also leaves them on the course by themselves, in order to visit the hotel pub! I guess that part was funny.
I can't recommend this DVD to anybody. The instruction is poor and watching Remy and Ruth gave me a sad-headachy feel. Also, since this was recorded nineteen years ago, the travelogue that is included has limited benefits.
I am very very very suspicious of all the 5 star reviews this DVD has received. They must not be real, because they are misleading and they resemble bad infomercials.

Best golf training method I've seen !

March 16, 2010

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is a very novel approach to teach golf to beginners and even weekend golfers. It doesn't go through the mechanics of the grip, stance, back swing, etc., but at the end of the course, you have learned it all.
I highly recommend it to anyone picking up a golf club for the first time and for those who have played for a while and can't break 100.

Novice Golfer

I just started playing golf and decided to buy the dvd instead of seeing a pro. This was an excellent investment. John's instructions were great and has improved my game considerably. My drive from the tee now goes extremely straight and over 250m far with an entry-level driver.
He should however lose the male student in his next release. The female got to grips with the lessons more easily.
A great buy for the novice golfer. Well done John !

It's a dated DVD/Video

January 14, 2003

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

It's really not a good investment, because it's and old video, image quality it's not the best and it's not really covering much on the golf instruction. Probably only good for a person who's never played before.

Better instruction is out there....

May 1, 2002

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Sure, a few shots of France are nice, but this video was not helpfull. The students in this video have never played, watching them swing was of little use to me. If you are looking for ways to correct a slice or improve your short game, I am guessing you won't find your answer here. I regret purchasing this 20 year old video.

Old Video in DVD format ---- Overpriced

The video was filmed in 1983. I'm not feeling happy to buy a 20 years old instruction at this price.

Introduction to "Natural Instinct" Golfing

March 4, 2002

Format: DVD

Norsworthy gives a good introduction to natural instinct golfing. Rather than have you memorize dozens of different rules about how to swing, he shows you how simple motions are combined into a great swing.
The begining students (Ruth and Remy) that Jon teaches in the video really are *beginners*--even the most hapless duffers will get a self-esteem boost after watching these two!

These lessons are dated, out of touch and older than God. The clothes would be great for a retro party or Halloween...Keep looking.

Norsworthy is a complete goof

The instructor in this program is hilarious! I thought his trick shot sections was pretty cool too. This program has a high "cheese" factor, but I thought it was great.Read more

Great refreshment course for this Norsworthy student
