Next tuesday I have been asked to present a two minute PGA Professional "golf tip" for our local cable television network. The possibilities of topics are endless but I would be curious as to what others would come up with?

I'd realize that for the most part a "2 minute tip" isn't going to help anyone- help themselves. Therefore, the purpose of your 2 minutes on TV isn't to help someone get better - so what is it? As DG touched on- I would guess it would be to get them to you for a full lesson - where you really might be able to help them and create a long lasting student. How are you going to do that in two minutes while presenting a tip? and who are you going to target? The beginner or the experienced golfer or both? What tip (small piece of information) you use isn't so important- but I think it needs to be presented clearly and provocatively. A simple fact that can be demonstrated clearly and then used in a way to show something completely opposite of what the golfer thought they should do or what they thought should be happening in the golf movement. I think it would help if you had a simple machine or some non golf movement example of the principle that you are describing so that they can "relate" to it in a non-golf way. Finally, hopefully you can finish off with your ad- such as "If you would like more information like this to help your game- call me at XXXX country club, etc.
