golf channel reveals 4 finalist tommorrow

[bantamben1]

Ive been checking back on the golf channel website to see when they will reveal the 4 finalist. It looks like tommorrow is the day i guess they get voted for from there. i would really like to see lynn on tv it would be great to actually have an instructor on tv that has a total understanding of alignments not just regurgitating all the drills and basics we have heard a million times that havent helped golfers get better. Any inside word on who the finalist are. Or what happens here on forward.

Looks like there are only 3?

Of those, an easy choice - Martin Hall.

He's been one of my favorites for a long time, with a unique ability to simplify, and a strong background in TGM - including time with Yoda.

Really! ?




My opinion.

Interesting---both Martin Hall and Karen Palacios-Jansen have been on Academy Live in the past. Was hoping they would actually look for somebody "new". I voted for Martin Hall--at least he is entertaining to watch and is an AI.

I really like Martin Hall, always fun to listen to, and great information. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed Wayne Players presentation. I couldn't stop laughing when he said "Even the French were smart enough to build the Eiffel tower wider at the bottom than the top." Classic. I think Karen does a really nice job as well...

Well, our guys did a great job with their presentations. I'm sure picking the top three was a difficult task. Good luck to the finalists, and the others should feel very proud of the job they did representing us.

Wanted to respond to the recent selections....and up front...I wanted all to know that I enjoyed the submission process and really enjoyed the work that I put into my entry.

It was a tremendous idea for the Golf Channel to have this contest which inspired many to take the time to enter a submission....and to promote activity on their website. Hat's off to the Golf Channel for the promotion....and it was a success I am sure for the GC. The mere fact that I am making a post is eveidence of the success of their promotion.

However...it was a bit misleading and that is a fact. 4 were to be selected and it was advertised that way...only 3 were selected from amoung the 100's that were submitted. And I thought it was to be 4 new instructors...new faces....etc. Nope...that didn't happen either....with so many capable teachers in this country....how could they not find a new face or two????

It is my observation that this was a huge promowith no respect to the implied intent of the contest. It's disappointing....to say the least.

But....the show must go on!

Sorry Rick, your presentation was first class. You should be very proud of the work you did, and the work all you guys did was a wonderful promotion for LBG!

I guess that's a pretty selfish observation as all I did was sit back on my ample ass and watch...

Did you guys have to agree to anything regarding golf channel being able to use the content of your submissions as they wish? If so, that would make these selections extra suspicious, as they not only got a lot of publicity from this, they have also collected a pretty big library of unique and compelling instructional content.

Yes, and from the Contest Rules, here 'tis:

Although Sponsor is granted the rights herein, it is not obligated to, nor does it represent or warrant that any Video submitted by Entrant will be published on the Website or otherwise, or that such publication will be free of technical errors, problems or compatibility issues and Sponsor shall have no liability related thereto."
