Although I am trained as an engineer I need a forum to work through understanding. I also use all the video clips I can find because they demonstrate LB and other teaching and their understanding of HK's book. Putting is an individual thing and I do not subscribe to it as part of the process, but thats a different story. I took up golf in the early 60's (yes 50 years ago) and learned on my own to "wail the hell" out of the ball. Locked arms, locked wrist straight arms. turn it up and back and crank it down and around. 250-260 straight, wood headed driver, and somewhere I could find it. 1/2 hour on the practice tee an my feet would screw into the ground 4 inches. Often shot in the high 80's at the likes of Torrey Pines South- was $4 green fee in that day and Billy Casper was the tour Pro. But I have not played a lot over the years. you know family etc are more important. I am retired and live in NH. I have pulled the clubs out and decided to do some serious (read correct) swing work this winter as I plan a long family vacation to the west coast next summ an I may even take my clubs. But I want to do it right this time.
Glad you're here HungryBear.
