Larry is now a Bobby Jones protege

[Kiwi Player]

I always had Larry figured for a student of Ben Hogans golf swing but it seems that, like Tiger did a few years back, he has overhauled his swing completely and is now a Bobby Jones protege.

Its funny but i am sort of begining to feel sorry for Larry. I think once you accept everything he writes is bollocks you can sit back relax and enjoy the sadness of it all.

Pretty entertaining I must say. Here's his explanation for his low handicap. It sounds feasible.......All in all Larry would be missed if he left permanently. He maybe a lyin' cheat but that's just yet another personality that makes up this cozy cesspool of personalities known as the GR. Famousdavis is fun to have around as well. Without these DB's who else are you going to give a well deserved verbal b!tch slapping to?
Just my two cents.....

FYI, I got my index down to 6 handicap by accident. I was playing 9 holes every afternoon, same course over and over again. As everyone knows, it is pretty easy to get our scores artificially low with poor fundamentals by playing the same course every day--such golfers become "recovery artists." That is not golf. My mistake was in posting those scores, 37-40. I was unaware that the system combines 9-hole scores and creates 18-hole scores--and those were impossibly low--and created that 6 handicap I could not play to on any course. So I posted a batch of higher scores to wipe those out and start fresh. My handicap is now 17, too high, but will be accurate soon as I start posting again

It's "feasible" if you ignore the fact that the nine hole scores he claims are involved long ago rolled off his handicap....

I think what really happened is that somebody with some spine told Larry to stop posting nonsense and post his real scores.

I just like that he gets called out on other boards too..

That sounds like a perfect recipe for casting and swinging OTT. Isn't that your favourite pet hate? Do you actually think about what you type?"

Larry, I wish you the very best of luck with your endeavours.

In a different vein, is anyone else finding it hard to reconcile these two comments:

I found some of Larry's posts on other forums. Some of it is really quite eye-opening. I think he has a set of these tips that he's written up about 5 years ago and now just copies and pastes them randomly into here (and several other places). People's reactions to him seem to be quite consistent too."

The only difference being on other forums they have to be polite.

[Ty_Webb]

Some of that stuff looks strangely familiar...

[lorenzoinoc]

I'm stunned that he has over 700 posts over there and the majority of the respondents still take him seriously. I guess it's true that most on Prozac are over-medicated.

Blue Arc seems like real Rhodes Scholar material and I'd guess the admin, Leaguegolf, is a 60 year old virgin.

Mizuno Boy has to either be Alan or a blood relative of him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I feel like bobby jones, i wish he was like bobby jones....the dead part i mean

[poe4soul]

Just read this LarrieSRF smack down at golfrewond. Look's like he's making friends over there. Here's a post I thought some would find funny.

I’ll tell you again Larry…stop beating yourself up with 99% of this and that…you’ll never sort it with that kind of thinking…there are enough people on my range and course that can swing properly in terms of shifting their weight that I discount the percentages you like to hang on to; they LOOK great…discard them, they’re a crutch…shift your weight like you were throwing darts, a ball, a watermelon, whatever…be natural and athletic and like Filey said, get on with it…

I would really suggest that you sign up for a series of lessons…personally I’d stay away from the systems and the pre packaged systems and just find a guy and tell him you want to see him every two or three weeks until forever…Ty said he had around 150 lessons in his golf career, Filey is an instructor and as an assistant pro I imagine that he had constant touchups and guidance from his head instructor… both those guys have been or are plus handicaps (Filey’s case is a no handicap as a touring pro…a real live one who just gave you personal advice by the way; I wouldn’t overlook that too quickly)…I’m not at that level, but to reach the point that I have I work with my course pro just about every time I’m there for a couple of minutes after the round (whether I want it or not), sometimes more…plus started taking lessons from another pro who is cut from the same cloth…point is it takes a lot more than just hard work to learn the game to the point that you are in a rage if you leave the course having not broken 80 (or 78 or 75 or 73…you get the idea)…

IMO 6 lessons isn’t getting it done IF you are in pursuit of better technique…The TPI program that you are constantly referring to ought to be owing YOU money if you went through whatever “program” it is that they offer not once but TWO times and you still don’t know what your arms, legs and body are supposed to be doing, come OTT and have trouble getting through the ball (this is an assumption drawn from your endlessly searching posts going in contrary directions week in / week out)…If I was an instructor at TPI I’d throw you the “99% of all golfers can’t” bone as well if after two passes though they still failed you…and regardless of the name-branding of the instruction that you bought, that’s exactly what they did; they failed you!…there is no loss of honor in getting help from a pro; that’s what they are there for…take whatever certificates that you have and use them to polish your clubs and then go find an old fashioned, no nonsense geezer who will give it to you straight…then DO what he says…

All of your posts come back to the same problems in your swing…lack of power, an OTT move, what your hands and arms should be doing…apparently it’s not working out…there are definitive answers for your questions as it applies to you, your body and your swing…you won’t find them fishing in circles though (and apparently not at TPI either)…we can argue the intellectual interpretations of the technique of great golfers and which modern day golf instructors have best disiminated the teachings of giants of the game until we’re blue in the face…10 hours of that kind of discussion won’t do as much for your game as 5 minutes with a good pro…

Golf is ALOT easier when you know what it is that you SHOULD be doing…I’m not knocking your knowledge; you’ve read plenty, probably too much and are obviously conflicted as to which theories and methods to apply to your swing…whether you can put two and two together on the course is down to the individual and that particular day (there is the X factor of talent, some have more than others and some days are better than others), but as far as mechanics goes, if you get clear direction as to what all the parts should be doing and when, then STICK TO IT, things become more clear…

It is near impossible to isolate one movement in a given swing and say to yourself that you are going to emulate that UNLESS you do everything else correctly leading up to that movement…if your grip is bad there is no way that the arm is going to go in the right place, the feet work in concert and your balance poised…the converse is true as well…get the basics of stance, grip, posture, alignment taught and the rest will fall into place with a little work…just not going to happen otherwise…

Get the basics down and work on your takeaway and worrying about wrist cock will be the least of your problems…it will just happen just as a correct release will just happen if you are in sync and have the body parts aligned and moving in the right direction…then, just like throwing a ball, to throw it further you just need to give it a little more juice…to carry the analogy further, even at the pro level, baseball pitchers can’t all throw 97mph fastballs…work with what you’ve got my friend… by Bigvivec

Hey!! Thanks for the compliment. I think you're a really fun guy to have around too. If you want, I could cut my personal lesson fee down to only $100 an hour and show you how to hit an iron properly. By the way, how did you know I played DB on the football team?

[oldplayer]

Boy has bigvivec got some patience. Good on him for taking the time to tell it straight to Larry.
Larry certainly dosen't deserve to be treated so well. The amount of bullsh!t he has pedaled over the years to innocent forum posters should get HIM banned.
Although I think I could give bigvivec some advice......don't waste your breath, as far as golf coaching goes Larry is a lost cause.

[poe4soul]

Agreed, I was also wondering what his lessons with a pro is like. I wonder if he has the same know it all attitude that he has on golf forums. I'm sure being a golf pro is similar to any other business; 10% of your clients give you more grief that the remaining 90%. I will generally fire the bad clients or better yet refer them to my competition. I wonder how many referrals Larry gets?

[noshuz]

WOW! What did Laree reply with?

Probably nothing. He's a little puss when it comes to fighting back so we've all come to notice. He gets verbally owned, then does nothing to acknowledge it.

I disagree. Whilst he doesn't engage in flaming or slanging matches (except with Alangbaker) if it's golf discussion he will come back with more of his long winded diatribe. Usually starting something like this "That's true but 99% of amatuer golfers make the mistake of [insert Larry's latest swing fault] ... we must learn to [insert Larry's latest swing thought/drill] . [Insert Larry's latest retired/dead professional - choose from Irwin, Pavin, Hogan, Bobby Jones or other] said that ....blah blah blah blah ..."

... at this point I usually stop reading.

Not quite Kiwi, he does also go down the ad hominum attack route demanding the immediate banning of the attacker or he will leave.

This has worked on Golfretard but when it didnt here he sulked, picked up his ball and ran home to mommy.

Man, I just spent a few minutes on Golfrewound....they sure take themselves seriously over there, and more worse, they take Larry pretty seriously except for a select few. That is some seriously boring sh it over there

[poe4soul]

I'm waiting for "you write (or spell) like a 8th grader." comeback.

If you bring up something that is outside of his understanding he won't respond. Like mentioning the difference between a swinger and hitter. He just ignores it.

[edgey]

I didnt last long on Golfretard before being permanantly banned. Then again i didnt on Golfwanx or Shitetalk either.

F uck it was boring

[Ty_Webb]

Larry replied to Bigv. Well, I say that. He posted again in the thread. Reiterating exactly the same 5hit that he started with. If he is an engineer as he claims (and not a photocopier as his website seems to suggest), then he sure struggles with basic comprehension of something he should be fairly familiar with.

mentaloaf, Golfrewound is very different from here, but there's space for both. The nice thing about here is you can be as rude as you like and not only is it tolerated, but positively encouraged. It's a good place to let your inner 12-year old run free. There is a place to talk like grown ups with civility and courtesy. I quite like both at times, but if you get them mixed up, you'll get ostracized pretty quickly. On which note, if you're not too busy and have five minutes going spare, please could you spare me one of those minutes and go f uck yourself.

I agree but i reserve that for work, friends, family etc.

I cannot think of why i would want to get into a genuine, heartfelt conversation with an anonymous stranger about the golf swing, especially a 28 handicap hacking liar like Liarry.

Larryrsf is the living embodyment of why the words "lying cûnt" were invented. That Golfretard bans you for saying them to Larry when they are plainly appropriate shows the weakness of their site.

Then again they banned me after 4 posts so they cant be all wrong

Didn't you try to remain reasonably civil (at least by GR standards) and yet you STILL got banned?

[FreakOfNature]

How ironic is it that Larry of all people was the one to start a preach-a-thon thread about how to generate more clubhead speed and how to get more distance...

His solution is obvious - just lie about it like he does about everything else.

I'm pretty sure most pros have deemed Larry to be uncoachable. No matter what anyone tells him to try to help him he just dismisses it and starts spewing BS...

WORST STUDENT EVER.

Were you mizunoboy?

My guess is that they thought you were Alan...

When I was at school, we had a CCF (army stuff) and there was this guy that ran it for my school who was a complete lunatic. He was talking about one of the teachers who was a giant douchebag and said "X is a c unt", then rapidly followed it up with "no, check that, a c unt's useful. X isn't useful for 5hit". Not too sure why, but it seems like an apt story to recount at this point in time.

I also discovered that my usual option of inserting a < in place of a c confuses the hell out of the software.
