Although I cannot say with any real certainty that this is absolutely the worst golf video ever made period (since there are hundreds of golf videos on the market, and I've probably only seen a couple dozen), this is certainly one of the worst I've ever seen. Using a one-camera set-up this bare bones production features host/instructor Jim McClellan, who informs viewers that "only .0000000000000001 percent of all people that ever lived and ever played golf know the stuff that you know now" from watching the video. My calculator only goes out to 10 digits, but still, using a conservative estimate of 85 billion people for the number of folks who've "ever lived," I think we're talking about a total of (1) partial person. And what does that partial person know? Take a full back swing, don't move your head (a bit of advice McClellan himself doesn't always heed) and follow-through. In other words, what any decent introductory golf video will tell you while also including much more than just a host who repeats himself ad infinitum and swings for 48 long minutes. Not recommended.
