[PilotJargon]

I was reading through the Foley swing thread as well as a few others, and I found it interesting that there are a lot of different opinions on what makes a commentator or instructor credible. Should a TV commentator have to have played on tour to be effective and accurate? Should he have multiple wins? Can he or she just have golf knowledge and be successful?

The same goes for Instructors, what makes them credible?

I don't really care about what makes up a commentator, I think it helps if they're pretty good golfers but it doesn't make or break them with me. If they comment on something in a swing or putting stroke that I'm able to see, recognize, or understand, then I'm good with it.

On the instructors, I'm a visual learner so the instructors I like should be able to show me what they're asking me to do rather than tell me what to do. I pay very close attention to just about everything an instructor does, and pay little attention to what they say ( I don't understand the lingo). So for me ya gotta be able to hit the shot.

What are your thoughts?
