mcfas45: I wish I had the same background info regarding the scene in Sweden, but being just any golfer there is no way I do. I do not know if TGM has been systematically rubbished, but judging by the end result - so it seems. I have seen traces of the yellow book being part of the problem, but you know all about that. I have also noticed that every time someone is brave enough to bring up TGM on a Swedish golf forum there is no shortage of bashers.

I feel sadness seeing how the Swedish Golfers Association spend resources on producing low-grade material such as "how to hit the ball off a slope" and "how to hit an intentional hook". Its just embarassing. I'd much rather see they'd allocate time to teach people how to hit a proper chipshot.

Scary enough, for most part golfers seem to be satisfied with that. They generally seem to be unaware of the fact that there is something beyond band-aid. Seems in general the pros are not good enough to trigger knowledge absorbation process among their students.

Thinking of how may range balls I've hit in vain is pretty horrible. But I have to admit I did. Hope this event can get the ball rolling.

Only this year did I for the first time REALLY feel PP#3 activated in my swing. It gave me a sense of a huge amount of wasted time, but luckily the rewarding feeling was greater.
