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?
A two minute tip and a sexy one at that. Tough task without a follow up.
I’d try:
Teach 5-0. SWING the HANDS, MONITOR the HANDS, not the clubhead. Show how the hands turn and roll. Don’t go beyond this too much- forget flat and bent or hand control pivot in your “two minutes” Show the Turn to the right and roll to the left into follow through. Most people need a good doze of hand brains.
Lynn taught 5-0 in his free clinics all weekend and improved everyone’s game. Maybe as your two minute tip might be to show the location of the hands at impact as Lynn did- opposite the left shoulder- “way out there? Yes! No where near the ball.” Here you CAN show the bent right and flat left because it is structure at impact with a still bent right arm into impact. No one will know you just taught them Flying Wedges without the jargon. check out the teaser clip- Blake, Hull, Ferguson are loaded with simple tgm adivce you can use.
Rob is an exceptional PGA member and an A.I. He really knows his Machine.
IMHO:
Three Functions of the Club and their controlling Three Imperative. Go to Impact Fix to show where almost ever great player goes (from your shortest chip to your longest drive), then Down and Out to Low Point. Try to be humble, make eye contact and make sure you iron your shirt (no wrinkles or creases).
Controlling the 3 club components with the three imperatives throught the three stations. When people are no longer club head and ball bound they WILL improve.

Beginners need something simple -
I would memorise quotes from every great golfer stating the head should remain stationary or at the very least steady or at least give a list of names that have said it in their books. This way the are more likely to accept it after having years of the golf channel brainwashing them.
I think a good go to "tip" is what Bobby Clampett focused on over...and over...and over...and over again in The Impact Zone, namely moving the low point forward of the ball. in that case I second what Bucket said about low point geometry. It was the first defogging concept that TGM taught me.
