I heard somewhere that a "full team" of Swedish top instructors (probably Pia Nilsson et al) spent significant time with Ben Doyle years ago. If i remember correctly that should be "pre-Lanner". Might well be that Ben provided major contributions to what later became known as the "Swedish System"? Guess the "system" is well applied on the more competitive juniors etc, but what I lack is that so many fanatic non-competing golfers have never get access to the fundamentals.

From my (limited) horizon Ove Sellberg is a frequent golf TV commentary, promoting various golf products and coaching junior teams. I do not know what his main occupation is.

These are hard questions and I am just any golfer... It'll be interesting to know Henning in Destin. I guess he has the story & it'll be very interesting to hear whats going on with his presentations.
