Default It sounds like fun, but...

IMO he is not looking for what is being suggested, from his past posts it is pretty clear he is already a 'player' and is looking for a practice companion.

I have to be careful to put words into his mouth, but I read this in a whole different way than he wants lessons or a camera. He is looking for someone to practice with, someone who understand the golf swing and he could say this what I am trying to do, did I do it and Doc would give the same feedback when the other person was hitting. I used to hang with a couple of guys like that when I used to be a 'player’. It is great to talk about how you flight a ball or how to you use the bounce of your wedge with another person working on the same stuff.

I never got to Doc's level AFAIK. The best I ever got was a 0.4 index. I never made it to a plus handicap. The MGA changed the course rating a few years after I was at my best or I would have been a +.08, oh well.

My point is, if not for work, I would love to hang with a player with Doc’s experience and provide feedback and get it back two fold...

Although, to be honest Doc, even without work, I am not too sure I enjoy putting in the time anymore. I never practice and flounder around at a 4 or 5 index on “resort courses” in The Villages. One day 69, two days later 80.
