Harvey Penick.

Probably Robert McArthur of the 1880s, a good teacher of the short game I would think.

 

[garyinderry]

it wouldnt be arnold palmer. he may be my dads hero and ive watched his instructional VHS many times but theres a load i wouldnt listen to him about. one thing is that he has the ball in the same position for every club.

 

[mcbroon]

Ben Crenshaw, to teach me how to putt.

 

[G1BB0]

Bob Mcarthur... he knows his stuff and would have my swing sorted in no time

 

[garyinderry]

Faldo and Nick Price. Had the ball in the same place for all clubs 2" inside their front foot. Just widened or narrowed the stance, for long or short irons. Has the same effect as moving the ball backwards and forward.

If you are talking tour pro's it's impossible to say - the best player may be an awful teacher.
Of the teahing pro's any of the big names (Cowan,Torrance, Harmon, Leadbetter etc) should be OK, if they have the patience to deal with us hackers!

 

[Shanks a lot!]

Phil Mickelson. Seeing some of his instructional videos on youtube makes me think he'd be a great teacher. Full of enthusiasm and always has a smile on his face.

Is Bob McArthur the son or grandson of the previously mentioned Robert McArthur?

 

[ADB]

Hogan for me, just to meet the man!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Jim Hardy

 

[USER1999]

My current coach. Stuart macgregor. He knows my swing, he knows what I want out of golf, he is getting there, despite my help. On tour type pro? Paddy H. What he doesn't know about the golf swing hasn't been written, and he's fun, capital F fun.

 

[Iaing]

Tom Watson if choosing a professional golfer.
Bob Torrance if choosing a coach.

 

[RGDave]

Nick Faldo.

or more modern....Luke Donald.

Stop this at 5-6 seconds, and get him to teach me that start to the swing.
