[Yoda]

Yoda,

I am an experienced golfer just deciding to start TGM instruction. I haven't even found an instructor yet. What would you suggest I do before beginning lessons? Should I buy the book and start reading, read all the forums, etc? In other words really try to begin to understand. Or would it be better to just go in cold so as to not have any preconceptions or misperceptions?

Congrats on the new site by the way. I'm sure it will be a rewarding experience for both you and all of the TGM'ers who access it.

Definitely buy The Book, Heat. And read the Forums. And post your questions for responses from seasoned travelers further down the road. Also, begin the Dowel and Impact Bag drills. These can be accessed soon on this site and now under my posts at www.brianmanzella.com and www.chuckevans.com. It's less than 90 days until the azaleas bloom, and you need to be ready!

Where are you located? The Forum Folk can help you locate a qualified instructor -- ideally (but not necessarily) TGM-trained.

Thanks for posting. Keep it up, and enjoy your trip. This is my 26th year in TGM, and I'm more fired up than ever!
