Long time forum member, infrequent poster, but I wanted to post regarding my visit to the swamp last week and my overall experience after discovering LBG and TGM a few years ago. I fluctuate between a mid teen-low 20s index, hoping to change that.

I spent two half days with Lynn in Atlanta last week, and the experience was nothing short of transformative in my understanding and grasp of the concepts in that crazy little book. I will start by saying that I have had tons of lessons from every type of teacher imaginable, and I don't think anyone has turned on as many light bulbs for me as Lynn has.
We worked for four hours each day (two days) on everything from basic, acquired and total motion, sand wedge to driver, short game around the green, bunker play, and putting. Many, many lights went on of concepts that I was struggling with from reading the book and posts, and even watching the videos.

And the sound! The sound of a well struck golf shot coming from my club! Just awesome!

Work remains to be done. I still have the worst top of the backswing position on the planet, but I now have a roadmap and understanding of what to change and how to change it. If you are wondering if this TGM stuff is for real, it is, and if you can make a trek to the swamp and spend some time with Lynn, do it!

Thanks again Lynn for all of your hospitality, encouragement, and shared wisdom. I am looking forward to golf season like I haven't in a while.

Thanks for posting, Brian. It was a special two days for me, too, and I appreciate your comments.

We need to put up the down-the-line video of the most telling of all your changes. Namely, your On Plane Start Down combined with your Left Wrist Release Trigger in the Downstroke. It was absolutely astounding to watch your Clubhead trace down the Plane Line (from the Top) instead of out-and-over the Plane as you had built into your swing.

Regarding the new effots, you were able to add this new Feel to your Total Motion by focusing on the Motion itself, i.e., Pull toward the Baseline and Throwout (from the Left Wrist).

You're on your way now. Keep up the good work, and call with any questions.
