The advent of the home video recorder was a revelation for all keen golfers. It meant that you could actually watch the golf swing in action, slow it down or pause at critical moments in order to analyse the technique. Some of the earliest golf instructional releases were from renowned golf coaches Butch Harmon and John 'Dr Golf' Jacobs. Butch Harmon has a wonderful appreciation of the mechanics and subtleties of the golf swing, as well as an understanding of the psychological side of the game. This talent has enabled Harmon to establish himself as a top golf coach.

A huge range of golf instructional DVDs is available from the Sky Sports DVD Shop, including other famous golf coaches such as Butch Harmon, whose DVDs are aimed at golfers of all abilities and tackle all aspects of the game.
