[12 piece bucket]

Is that a left-handed thank you to Mike O as well?

Could be right? Wow . . . not sure what to say . . . I think I just wet my pants.

Kevin,

I am jealous!!!Wish somedays I can to the State.

[O.B.Left]

I don't know where it will end up, but pretty sure getting there will be:

left-right-left-right-left-right

Kevin

Im thinking the left-right-left etc is so great right now. Didnt really love it at first though, didnt know what to make of it. But after 6 or 7 lessons and Lynns insistence, Im finally convinced of it being the basis of the golf Motion. Melhourne, McDonald, Vardon, Hogan and others would agree I think.

Hmmm but is the left, right, left in TGM or is it more AG, Alignment Golf? ( "A Motion, Aligned Geometrically, Learned Mechanically and Played by Feel") Lynn's lessons are consistent with TGM, indeed honour TGM, but are not solely TGM.

Lynn needs to write his own book, I think. There is more, much more left to be said. Homer would applaud it, probably foresaw it.

Great day at the PGA today. MattS from Rochester, JerryG and myself. All we wanted to do was see my hero, BRIAN GAY working on Alignment Golf...

Kind of funny, we hung out on the short game area and saw EVERYBODY. Tiger came over, practiced basic and acquired motion within several yards of us. There were people behind us 15 deep just to get a glimpse of him. The three of us were straining our necks looking towards the practice tee to see if Brian had shown up.

I guess we could have watched Tiger without feeling guilty. Afew minutes after Tiger left, we were still looking towards the range. Who do you think was standing 4 feet from Tiger watching him?

I guess no one can ever stop learning from these great players. Even the MASTER.

Brian was really fun to watch, VERY centered pivot, even more so than on the videos. Such a simple, repeatable action. Anyone on tour that moves off the ball on the backstroke now would stick out like a sore thumb. It's all about the tripod as Mr. Kelley told us 40 years ago, and YODA still tells us now. There are no funky, contrived moves needed, just the bio-mechanically correct pivot that YODA teaches. Take it a little different direction, and many guys use VJ Trolio's pivot as well. The two really are not very different to my eye.

By the way, I forgot to mention Yodas swing. It is beautiful, for an older fellow , and he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk. After hitting 4 shots for us while stone cold, I asked him why he is teaching and not out playing. You know what Trevino said about teachers, well, I believe he would trust YODA with his livelyhood.

Thank you to Jerry, Kevin S, Matt, and YODA for making this such a special week.

Was Tigers left foot coming off the ground, if ever so slightly?

Sorry man, besides watching for Brian, all I could see were Tigers teeth!

I'm a HUGE Tiger fan by the way. If anyone takes my last post as rude, I apologize. Tiger is a great guy and I have nothing but respect for him.

Lynn Blake has been instrumental in my improvement as a golfer and my understanding and enjoyment of the Machine. Wouldn't trade the time I spent with him for nothing . . . proud to consider him a friend. Glad he got sick on that fortuitous day . . . funny how things start . . . LBG . . . look at where we been . . . look at where we at . . . can't wait to see where LBG ends up . . . been a fun ride. thanks Lynnard!!!!

Thanks, Bucket. Back at 'cha!

And you're right: There's been a lot of water under the bridge since we first met at the Cracker Barrel on that winter's day, and God willin', a whole lot more to come. Thanks for your incredible support these past five years. I 'preciate it!

Ahh, that don't cut it . . .
