Again
Here we go again. After a TGM student becomes the No.1 golf ametuer in India another one gets second place in the Malaysian Ametuer at 14 under par. Now THATS not too bad going is it. Things are happenning around here people and TGM is coming alive. "I am trying my best Mr. Kelly" Hope you can hear this!!!!

For those who think Vikram got lucky by chancing upon a world beater...think again.

His student Chiragh Kumar was no where near the dominant amateur he is now before he met "Sir". Nuff' said

Thanks Compda,

You had the pleasure of meeting Chiragh when he was in Singapore and rubbed some of your vast TGM knowledge into his mind, body and soul. So you're a part of that acheivement too.

Thanks for the compliment Justin. Now lets go and get some more guys into the fray.

Birdie man Thanks for your kind words for our fraternity.

Congratulations Vikram Is it just my ignorance in the past, or are there a lot more youngsters taking the game up in India?I seem to notice more Indian names in amatuer golf these days-are they about to take over like the Koreans have in the LPGA?.If so,you're going to be busy

Yes Neil Thank you.

It is busy out here and its only getting better. I see only the "tip of the day teachers" around here and its a pity that only some few will ever get the information that they really really need to become better individuals and better players.TGM has cleared the way for me, otherwise I would have been a card in that pack too. Theres so much conflicting information around that it makes me sick at times the way the game is taught. Less said the better. For me?-I just STUCK to the essentials and imperatives, used the component variations to get my students to where they needed to be in their alignments and I have two pretty good performing players and quite a few who are getting there - slowly but steadily. Its been a lot of hard work both sides but thats the only way to go I guess. I have another imperative that I found most useful and that my freinds is how to talk patience into your pupils.

Yes Neil, we have a few guys up there and lots more to come hopefully. Will need every bit of everyones input and encouragement to get there though and by the looks of it I have all the help I need.

Thanks everyone.

Vik

humility - I like it Lynn. There are a coule instructors I've seen elsewhere with an absolute deficiency in this regard.

The similarities to a cult are apparent too. It appears to have an almost mythical figurehead, devout followers, sacred text, the handshake I haven't heard of. Similar to a religion, it attempts to answer all the concievable questions one might have about the subject with an element of faith required to boot. There's a definite sense of superiority in this forum that may be well deserved, I certainly can't suggest anything that's better and it may prove to be the best eventually.
lol secret handshake....

...

The cult stigma is prolly well deserved at times.

Secret Handshake
The secret handshake.... yep! I remember when it started during the St. Augustine classes. What a fun and educational time that was. It has forever affected my golf game in a very positive way.
