==Notable instructors== Some top instructors who work with professional golfers have become quite well known in their own right over the years, including [[Harvey Penick]], [[Jack Grout]], [[Dick Harmon]], [[David Leadbetter (golf instructor)|David Leadbetter]], [[Butch Harmon]], [[Gary Wiren]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smithsonianjourneys.org/blog/masters-golf-tournament-interview-with-dr-gary-wiren-180950558/|title=Masters Golf Tournament β Interview with Dr. Gary Wiren|first=Gary Wiren,Patrick|last=Wagner|publisher=Smithsonian Journeys}}</ref> [[Hank Haney]], [[Chip Thomson]], [[Sean Foley (golf instructor)|Sean Foley]], Quentin Patterson and [[Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer]]. Some of the teachers maintain teaching facilities or schools where they or their disciples use their methods or systems. A few instructors focus solely on a particular aspect of the sport, such as [[Dave Pelz]] with the short game. Some famous golfers have been tightly bound with their instructor, such as [[Jack Nicklaus]] with Jack Grout, while in other cases golfers have made high-profile switches from one instructor to another, such as [[Tiger Woods]] moving from Butch Harmon to various other instructors. Golf instruction may be augmented by training aids such as specially weighting or jointed clubs, putting cups for practice on the den room carpet, mini practice tees with feedback for use in garages, ''et cetera''. Some training aids are sold via television [[infomercials]] and the more peculiar varieties were satirized in the 1996 film ''[[Tin Cup]]''.
