Conference 7.286::golf

	I've heard about it and am interested.  However the $100 is
	pretty steep.  I figured someone will subscribe.  Let us know
	how you like it.  Maybe I will change my mind.

    	I too have heard of it, and even received a membership offer
    in the mail.  But for $99.95, it's to steep for me.  I can get all
    the video instruction I need, every weekend just watching golf on
    Television.  You just watch the pros and listen to the commentators.
    Most times, they even have a 2 minute section, where some touring
    pro, gives a tip, both verbally and with a demonstration, of one
    of the many problems that face the average golfer.  I also get ESPN
    for free from my cable company, and they have thise week in the
    PGA, shown at least 3 different times during the week.  It gives
    a summary of all tour events for the past week, and also has a 2
    to 5 minute tip, with demonstration, each week.  That's all for
    free.  So I figure my $100.00 can be better spent.  That doesn't
    mean it isn't worth it for you.

    I would imagine a group of say, five or six, pool their money,
    order one subscription and share it...
    
    I, too, say the add and my wife said "Don't even think about it."
    But if it only cost me $15, that would be a different story. I can
    hide a $15 video from her....hee-hee...

    Tavo,
    
    I also got the offer in the mail and was giving it some thought, that
    is until Pat saw it...! They also offer, if you act fast, Jacks tape
    on (I think it was) world famous courses a $45 value for free...
    
    Do let us know what you think of your first tape...

    Jack must have bought a mailing list from all the golf magazines and
    the USGA, because everybody that I know who's into golf has received
    this offer in the mail.
    
    I agree with one of the previous replies about pooling money and
    sharing the tapes. OR, I wonder (although I doubt it) if the tape can
    be copied (not for profit you understand).
    
    I couldn't justify the cost considering what I already spend on this
    hobby!!!

    I saw an ad for this on TV (I think it was the same offer). Some
    of the clips they showed looked like stuff I had seen on other 
    tapes. In particular, I saw a clip from a Trevino "instructional"
    tape. I had seen this tape and personally thought it was terrible
    as instructional tapes go.
    
    This left me with the impression that what you might be getting for 
    $100 is a collection of things that are already available.
    
    Did anybody else see the TV ad? Is it the same package?
    
    Patti

    You are absolutely correct.  There is a TV add running also!
    
    Hal

    Well, I  still  think  is  worth the money. If it isn't, there is the
    chance of cancelling the subscription with refund.
    
    In any case I'll let you know.

I received my first issue of  WWofG,  together  with  the other tape (The
best 18 holes...) and for all  of  you non-believers on a good thing when
you see one (Yes, I am justifying  spending  $99.95!!  :-) ), here is the
contents of the first issue, which I definitely think is worth the money:
    
    State of the Art:  The Grip.  First  of a 12-part instruction series.
    This one has instructions from Nicklaus, Norman, Bobby Jones and Judy
    Rankin.   Some of it is from the tapes previously available  some  is
    new, but Steve  Melnyk  provides  commentaries  about  each different
    section.
    
    Winning Techniques, by Tom Kite. i.e. How he won at Nabisco.
    
    Destination:  Spanish Bay.    A complete look at the newest course on
    the Monterey peninsula
    
    Jack Nicklaus remembers: a tour anecdote
    
    Using the Rules: Winter Rules
    
    Tools for the Trade:  What's  new for the 90's (by the USGA (or PGA?)
    technical  director.  A look at shafts,  forged  back  cavity,  Ultra
    irons, etc.
    
    An  Interview  with  Sam  Snead (He says he  is  considering  an  eye
    operation, and if it works, he may go and  give  a try at the seniors
    tour)
    
    Insight: The choke factor with Tom Boswell
    
    Profile: An insiderr look at Curtis Strange
    
    My shot: Commentary by Jack Whitaker
    
    David and the Goliaths: Bobby Jones
    
    Stroke Savers:    COmmentaries  by  teaching professionals:  wet sand
    shot by a club  pro,  and  shot  that normally would require standing
    inside a bunker with the ball outside and about 2 feet above the feet
    by Chi CHi Rodriguez (He shots it from the other side of the ball and
    his back towards the pin)
    
    IS  the  Tour  distorted  by  the  Nabisco Money?   (Jack  says  yes,
    obviously Kite says no.
    

I hope is not only because it was the first issue, but it was loaded with
good articles, instruction,  reviews  of  courses  and equipment and many
other things.

Soooo....  I am  happy for the time being and hope that future issues are
as good.
