Am I missing something.....

Thanks for the insight Yoda. I agree that sound mechanics are the gateway in anything requiring a physical effort. And I now understand that this is more a forum for discussions of the TGM model for teachers and not how they teach it. I'm playing golf in a Shivas Irons world so in my case, as the saying goes, " a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Thanks again and I remain curious.

"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
It flourishes on all the golf instruction forums. That the time to incubate a little more.

It is not a forum for teachers. It is a forum to understand Homer Kelley’s The Golfing Machine, to shed light on his Brevity. There are many outstanding videos on this site that explains with insight and clarity the basic concepts of pulling or pushing a golf club into impact. Feed your brain and educate your Hands and you will NEVER blackout over the ball with this thought or that tip circling in your head. You will be surprised how easy it is to acquire a feeling that you can repeat over and over.

This is NOT rocket science but it also isn’t handful of tips covered in a few pages of a magazine. Nothing outside my family has given me as much pleasure as learning TGM with Yoda these past few years. G.O.L.F. is superior to golf without periods.

You never think about this stuff when your actually hitting a shot except in practice. You must program yourself to make the stroke variation you wish to use before you hit the shot. Before the shot is for thinking, during the shot is concentration - never mix up the two.

" a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."

Sure, dangerous for your opponent when that knowledge is the three imperatives.
