"I am a seasoned golfer and I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD. The neat thing about this DVD is that it appeals to all levels of golfers. From novice to pro's this DVD has something for everyone. The host John Norsworthy is hilarious and very intelligent. The tips he gives are VERY helpful in your game and some I had never heard before (which is saying alot for I've been around golfing for too many years to count). This alone is a reason to buy this DVD. But it doesn't stop there the disc also contains golfing exercises, which for someone with a gut helps alot. The travelogues of Southern France are beautiful, so much so I think I'm going to plan a trip sometime next year.
The quizes are neat as well as the interactive menus. This is a top rate product and every golfer or golf fan should own this one. I'm buying 5 for the golfers in my family for the holidays."
A Unique Approach to Golf in a Spectacular Setting

"What a great use of DVD! Good Golf is Easy features a 13 part golf instruction series taught by John Norsworthy, a well-known teaching Pro in Europe. John takes two rank beginners, and using his "Natural Instinct" teaching method gives them the basics of a solid game. The series also features a travelogue of some of the most spectacular golf courses in Europe--the rugged and beautiful courses in the south of France. What's great for the viewer is to be able to navigate from the lessons, to the travel pieces, and back through golf tricks and triva. It's a great gift idea for golfers of all ages and abilities."
Jon Norsworthy is a wonderful teacher for beginners

"One of the most entertaining golf instructors that I've ever watched. The video begins with two new beginners to golf and Jon teaches them golf from the ground up. In between lessons, they visit scenic places all over France. Not only was the DVD entertaining, but my game actually did improve after incorporating some of its tips....especially on putting. The natural instinct method seemed to really work for me better than most private lessons--and at a much better price!"
Great refreshment course for this Norsworthy student

"While on a business trip five years ago in Valbonne France, I took two private lessons with Jon Norsworthy. He was the best golf instructor I have ever been to, no question about it.When I saw that there was a video with him, I had to get it. He's as good on film as in person. The only reason I didn't give the dvd five stars is because the two students he had, Ruth and Ramey, were very bad and gave the impression that this instruction is only for beginners. Jon's instruction is of benefit to experienced golfers and it would have been nice if one of his students was an accomplished golfer. Otherwise, this dvd was excellent and I'd recommend it to Norsworthy fans and those who'd like to find out what they're missing by not visiting the South of France."
Some of the most beautiful golf footage of Europe.

"Jon Norsworthy's method of teaching golf is aimed mostly at beginners and intermediates. He takes two raw recruits through 13 different lessons, along with a lot of his own antics. Some of them are pretty interesting--like driving while standing on one foot--but they also have apoint. Standing on one leg is to demonstrate that weight transfer isn't that important for amateur golfers--most beginners who try to transfer their weight from back to front just end up swaying and causing more harm than good.
The travelogue is wonderful, really the best part of this DVD. You get to see some of the best courses in the South of France, as well as the cultural sights like perfume factories and Cannes (of the Cannes film festival fame)."
