146.0. "The General of Arnie's Army On Tape" by DICKNS::F_MCGOWAN () Fri Sep 04 1987 00:18

    Arnold Palmer, golf legend and one-man conglomerate, was "interviewed"
    (hardly the right word) Wednesday morning on the Today show ("adulated"
    comes closer to Bryant Gumbel's session with him). Seems Arnie has
    some new golf goodies coming to market: two videos and a book, all
    under the general title "How To Play Great Golf." It didn't take
    too broad a hint to get the message across to my wife as to what
    I'd like for my next birthday! However, before plunking down the
    big buckos, it might be nice to preview the product. Does anyone
    care to recommend any of the other videos on the market, and have
    a suggestion as to where they might be found on a rental basis?
    It seems reasonable that the Palmer tapes would also be available
    in that case.
    
    Wondering what became of my beautifully grooved swing, I await your
    replies...

146.1The Golden BearPLANET::STANZFri Sep 04 1987 18:4516
    Frank, I have a copy of Jack Nicklaus' "Golf- My Way", and find
    it to be pretty good. I watch it on occasion when my game has gone
    to hell in a handbasket. It's about 2-1/2 hrs long, so I've found
    I can't just sit and watch the whole thing....sensory overload...
    too much to try and absorb. I just fast fwd. to the section I want
    to concentrate on (grip, iron play, putting, etc.)
    
    I wish I had a grooved swing to begin with....I have to work so
    hard at setting up and making sure everything is right- I guess
    I would be called a "deliberate" player. I try hard not to be slow,
    but if I don't take extra care, I'm all over the place.
    
    The Nicklaus tape is available at the video stores I go to. I rented
    it a couple of times before I got it for myself.
    
    Keep swingin' :-)
