Tiger Woods’ former coach Butch Harmon releases DVD set on golf instructions
Legendary golf instructor Butch Harmon has now released a two-DVD set which includes professional golf tips to players of all Handicaps.
Having worked with some of the most highly respected golfers for the last several decades, no one knows the intricate details of the sport better than Harmon himself.
Both DVD’s contain four hours of intensive training exercises spread on 57 chapters and contain around 250 specific drills to improve the game.
The documentaries in the DVDs are directed by none other than the seven-time Emmy Award winner Terry Jastrow and covers almost every aspect of the sport.
Harmon, while marketing his DVDs said,
"I have been blessed to work with some of the greatest players in the game — Phil, Ernie, Greg, Tiger, Seve, Freddie, and several up and coming players, such as Adam, Nick, and Dustin, who are destined to carve their names in the golf record books. But for everyone that has worked with me there are thousands of golfers that I will never have a chance to try and help”.
The DVD set includes exclusive interviews with players who have worked with Harmon at some point in their careers and the list includes the likes of Woods, Mickelson, Couples, Gulbis, Els, Scott, Johnson and Norman.
Son of the 1948 Masters winner Claude Harmon, the formidable coach has been associated with the sport for the last 40 years.
His recent marketing stunt might have been a direct inspiration of Hank Haney’s most-sought after book on Tiger Woods, which has already topped the anticipated best-seller list even before its release.
Harmon remained associated with Woods at the beginning of Woods’ trailblazing career and later was taken over by Haney as the swing coach.
Harmon has been critical on Woods’ attempts to change his swing pattern under the supervision of his current coach Sean Foley and has hurled scathing criticism on the duo.
Speaking about his creation, Harmon said his main ambition is to provide a layman with basic knowledge of how to improve and eventually enjoy their game.
He added, “My thoughts were to create a DVD that was designed to help your game, capture and retain your interest, and to entertain you. Unlike any other golf instructional DVD ever produced, I'll share my thoughts supplemented with those of the game's greatest golfers that I've had the privilege of working with".
Harmon currently coaches top-ranked American Dustin Johnson and provides occasional help to several other renowned players in the sport.
He was also critical of the manner in which Woods convinced Johnson’s caddie Joe Lacava to switch ranks, without asking permission from Johnson himself.
A graduate of University of Houston, Harmon has one professional win on his belt. He also appears as commentator on many of the PGA Tour events throughout the year.
