No one thing in particular, just the overall concept was a huge eye opener.

I was looking at it through the eyes of one who's playing days are over, but want to learn how to teach the game better. I watched and listened to YODA teach all abilities, really good player to high handicapper.

No two lessons were alike. I was the only one he spoke TGM to as he knew that's how I wanted to learn. The language of TGM is geared more towards the instructor.

While he didn't speak the language with the others, it was obvious to me that they were still the fundamentals being taught, but in plain English. Lynn NEVER mentioned hitting and swinging, right elbow on plane, imperatives and essentials, none of it, rather he taught those things in plain language everybody could understand.

People who critisize his methods have never watched him in action.

Kevin
