How does somebody manage to write multiple posts, yet can't answer a simple question? I'm not calling you a liar, I'm saying that just because you've been walking longer than I've been alive does not make you any more of an expert on the subject of walking. Of course, you'll still find something in that to argue about. See, if you had just answered the damn question, this would have been avoided. Instead, you just wanted to say, "what does it matter what I've done" and blah blah blah. You take that attitude while trying to put in your 235823486 cents having "discussions"(codeword for arguments) with professional instructors. You want to be taken seriously, but the ONLY thing you can respond with is "I've been playing for 47 years". Yeah, well, I met plenty of you when I joined the APA 8 1/2 years ago. In about a year I was already better than most of the people that acted that way. So, I'll ask again, what qualifications do you have to dispute people that have been doing actual, qualified instructions for years?
As for your little barb below.. maybe I was wrong, it isn't that you want to argue with instructors.. you want to argue with anybody, instructors are just a more stationary target since they have their own forum.
