Terribly sad to hear of the passing of broadcasting legend Danny Kelly.
Back in 2004, after the publication of The Swing Factory, I was invited on Danny’s show.
As the interview progress I sensed a certain frostiness from Danny.
Eventually he looked me straight in the eye and asked “can you really justify charging £300 for a half hour lesson?”
I was a little taken a back.
Danny it’s £300 for ten, there was a moment of silence before Danny burst out laughing and it suddenly became clear that he thought we were charging £300 for a single lesson and formed the impression that we were some sort of snake oil salesmen playing on golfers hopes of improving their game for an outrageous fee.
I’m so sorry Steve he said. From that point the ice was broken and the rest of the interview was a a delight.
A wonderful memory of a lovely man ❤️
Hi guys,
finally back on X after getting hacked back in June.
It happened when I voted for an apparent podcast from one of my followers.
So please be very careful if you get such a request.
I have a lot of ground to make up and a lot of followers to gather.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
