Summary: It's a dated DVD/Video
Review: It's really not a good investment, because it's and old video, image quality it's not the best and it's not really covering much on the golf instruction. Probably only good for a person who's never played before.

Summary: Some of the most beautiful golf footage of Europe.
Review: Jon Norsworthy's method of teaching golf is aimed mostly at beginners and intermediates. He takes two raw recruits through 13 different lessons, along with a lot of his own antics. Some of them are pretty interesting--like driving while standing on one foot--but they also have apoint. Standing on one leg is to demonstrate that weight transfer isn't that important for amateur golfers--most beginners who try to transfer their weight from back to front just end up swaying and causing more harm than good.
The travelogue is wonderful, really the best part of this DVD. You get to see some of the best courses in the South of France, as well as the cultural sights like perfume factories and Cannes (of the Cannes film festival fame).

Summary: Worked for me....
Review: my golf game did improve a bit, mainly from relaxing my stroke and hitting more naturally. The "right" way to swing is all dependent on your physiology and build, and doing what comes naturally to you is the best way to develop a good swing.

Summary: Introduction to "Natural Instinct" Golfing
Review: Norsworthy gives a good introduction to natural instinct golfing. Rather than have you memorize dozens of different rules about how to swing, he shows you how simple motions are combined into a great swing.
The begining students (Ruth and Remy) that Jon teaches in the video really are *beginners*--even the most hapless duffers will get a self-esteem boost after watching these two!

Summary: Jon Norsworthy is a wonderful teacher for beginners
Review: One of the most entertaining golf instructors that I've ever watched. The video begins with two new beginners to golf and Jon teaches them golf from the ground up. In between lessons, they visit scenic places all over France. Not only was the DVD entertaining, but my game actually did improve after incorporating some of its tips....especially on putting. The natural instinct method seemed to really work for me better than most private lessons--and at a much better price!

Summary: It's not that easy.
Review: Playing golf that is. Watching this disc is pretty easy, though. Nice footage of France and its beaches and sights. I'm still no Tiger Woods, but I do feel like I a learned a few good tips plus, more importantly, how to stress less while playing and simply enjoy the game of golf. This disc is definately about perfecting the art of enjoying golf and travel.

Summary: I had fun watching it......
Review: sure the students are bad golfers--that's why they are the students and not the teacher :) The instructor was really funny when he was making fun of the students. He doesn't take himself too seriously and that's exactly the attitude that most amatuer golfers really need. It was pretty good overall, though an updated version would be 5 star.

Summary: Better instruction is out there....
Review: Sure, a few shots of France are nice, but this video was not helpfull. The students in this video have never played, watching them swing was of little use to me. If you are looking for ways to correct a slice or improve your short game, I am guessing you won't find your answer here. I regret purchasing this 20 year old video.

Summary: good golf could be better
Review: that's for sure...but it's still definitely a good buy. For what it's worth, I was entertained. I actually watched most of this 3 hour program and did gain valuable insight from a european approach to life -- and how they translate that into their golf game.

Summary: Should I worry that Ruth is better than me ?
Review: The **** is based on someone who is at my level, one of the worlds worst golf players. As a beginner with only a couple of lessons under my belt, I feel this is a wonderful video for people like me. It makes me realize that somewhere out in the world, there are other people who have the same problems as me. It made me feel a little bit better about my game. The main things this video taught me are: i) Enjoy the game, it doesn't have to be as serious as everyone makes it. ii) I don't have to memorize the 1000 golfing tips each month in Golf Digest. Norsworthy stresses that many people make a simple act very complicated. iii) The basic basics. How to simply hit the ball from the tee, to the green, to the hole. This actually has improved my game, so I have certainly learned some things. For certain, I would beat Remmy and he's had more lessons than me(unless he cheated and drove off the ladies tees again). iv) Why we don't see many French people on the PGA/European tours :-) For the better player, unless you enjoy watching 80's golf styles, I think it would be a bit too basic for you. It really should be renamed "Good Golf is Easy for Beginners". As other reviewers have stated, costs a bit much for a 20 year old lesson so it looses the 5th star for me (mainly as I was hoping I didn't dress anything like that when I was in the 80's). Recommended for anyone just starting golf.
