Wannabegolfer67 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Any of you guys ever heard of Dean Chitren?? I keep getting ads for Dean Chitren "Low 70's Golf" I just wanted to see if anyone knows anything about him or his golf instruction. Today, I will do what others will not so that... Tomorrow, I will do what others can not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveP043 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Well it appears he's a relentless marketer, a "stop smoking" expert, and a real estate agent, in addition to claiming to be able to teach golf stuff. His Youtube channel stuff is 9 years old, although I see a few videos that are only 3 years old. I see videos of him swinging, but no instruction, and in my view his swing isn't particularly good. Just a personal reaction, I don't think this is the direction I'd choose for online instruction. cnosil and Nolan220 2 Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we can't tell where he started from, but 25 putts isn't sustainable over any amount of time. So you're here for 20 minutes, and posted 2 captures from Dean's website. Are you a shill for him, or a real person?

It’s really no different than the ones who come in to give a negative review of a product or company because they were unsatisfied with the resolution options offered by the company. They know the post will get eyes and comments, based on that the search algorithms will put their thread higher up on search engines thus achieving their goal of getting a negative review out there. You are doing it in the opposite direction and to promote a page so that it appears higher in search engines, but as mentioned above you are possible violating moral codes and yes you should have stated your affiliation in the first post and not after being called out as possibly connected Nolan220, silver & black, MyWifesSwingCoach and 2 others 5 Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People search online for "reviews" and I saw this thread. I chose to post so people can make their own decision other than on your assessment. Have a great day man. I think most of us are here to discuss, rather than to argue. Posting testimonials from promotional literature isn't much of a discussion, as we can't ask questions of the guys who wrote those testimonials. If you look in another thread about instruction, you'll find mentions of Monte Scheinbloom and Erik Barzeski. I know Monte is active in discussions on GofWRX, you can read some of his instruction and evaluations, and get a sense of his personality. Similarly, Erik runs TheSandTrap, and provides a lot of instructional content there, as well as participating in a couple of other forums. From Mr. Chitren we have only his self-promotional stuff, no back and forth, no discussion. We CAN find that he quit smoking once, and became a "quit-smoking guru" for a time. We can find that in 2009 he wanted to become a PGA Tour player, and was trying to raise money to do that. He ran a golf "concierge" business for a while, setting up golf trips in the Tampa area. There are some YouTube videos from 10 years ago, and a few more from 2017, and now a recent bunch. But no dialogue. And there's no mention of him outside of his own webpages. Feel free to discuss, that's always more interesting than simply posting stuff off of the promotional website.
