Having never watched the original DVD, the Lessons of a Lifetime series proved to be surprisingly enjoyable and informative. Watson has a way of making things seem quite simple and he offers multiple approaches for how to accomplish certain tasks, drawing on the knowledge passed to him from his father as well as golf greats like Jack Nicklaus.
Each lesson is relatively short and to the point, with helpful graphics and bullet points included to get Watson’s message across. Much of the first DVD focuses on fundamentals that even the most experienced player may find useful. As the lessons progress, they become more involved, though never terribly difficult to understand. Though instructional videos can sometimes cause people to misdiagnose their own swing faults, the Lessons of a Lifetime DVD’s focus more on situational instruction, for example, ways to approach unique lies found around the course.
Watson’s down-to-earth demeanor and communication style make it easy to follow along with his instruction and the way the DVD is designed allows the viewer to easily skip lessons that are of less interest.
Priced from $24.95 to $49.95, Lessons of a Lifetime II is both entertaining and educational and should be useful for both experienced and novice players. The advice on trouble lies, shot shapes, and greenside work alone provides a great deal of value that many will enjoy quite a bit.

Nice write-up, Ryan. I have not seen the first DVD, but I’m been kicking around the idea of picking it up. Tom Watson is one of my favorite golfers, so I know this is something I would enjoy.
Nice review Ryan!
This is definitely affordable and I was glad to hear that it was short and to the point.
