Saw Ted and Lynn today. They are busy clearing the fog as usual. Of course Ted cleared my fog in about 5 secs. Went to range after lesson and tourney, it works again.

Indeed, the 'Machine' is alive and well at Westchester. And not just with Ted and me, but with our whole crew. Manning the Barclays Classic Golf Academy,Jeff Hull, Ben Kitts, Rob Noel, Ted and myself. At the PGA TOUR's The Golf Academy Presented by Gillette Fusion Power, we have Steve Ferguson, Bill Castner and Henning Lundstrum. In a volunteer capacity, we have Ed Zilavey (EdZ), James Leitz and Mike Plunkett (6bmike).
Our days have been starting with 6 a.m. departure from our hotel and 'on the grounds' at 6:30. In the past two days, we have done some 250 swing analyses and clubfittings and conducted four 'max capacity' Fundamentals clinics on the greens at Westchester CC. Happily, The Golf Channel cameras rolled yesterday in our Academy.
And in the toughest league in the world, Brian Gay has made the cut easily at -4 and is T24 for the tournament.

Life is good.

What a privilege it was to watch the Machine being taught by eight unselfish, generous and hard working pros to absolutely grateful students who GOT IT! Five hundred plus lessons over four days- 8am to 7pm -plus six outdoor fundamental clinics limited to ten but attended by dozens has to be a GOLFING MACHINE Guinness World Record.
Chicken winged flippers, in the before shot, saw a Flat Level Left Wrist pro like impact position in the after shot and walk away with a lesson video and a smile that even the sweltering heat couldn’t wipe away. It all starts with a Flat, Level, Vertical Left Wrist Alignment, so important it is introduced in the ‘Preface” by Homer Kelley.
Yoda taught the outdoor clinic under 95+ degree days and stayed after to answer and work with anyone who waited. At the Clinic Yoda taught Chapter Four and without anyone knowing the term discovered the Flying Wedges- what vertical and horizontal motions are and what they do in a golf stroke. Learning to get a Bent Right Wrist to the left leg with Basic Motion empowered them for a lifetime. My only concern is that the golf magazines and TGC will corrupt them, and you know they will try.
Rob Noel, Jeff Hull, Ted Fort, Henning Lundstrum, Steve Ferguson, Bill Castner and Ben Kitts with Lynn Blake brought Homer Kelley’s vision of teaching TGM to the MASSES not just to a select few.
It was great to meet EdZ for the first time- he certainly knows his stuff and worked as hard as anyone to make the four day clinic a success. I just had to work a few cameras. And the club-fittings by Henry-Griffitts is pure Golfing Machine. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out soon. Hull, Kitts, and Ferguson are top of list fitters.
Lynn, you and your Kelley’s Heroes, the Blake Jedi’s, out did yourselves. Homer is smiling.
Does this mean there are more 6BMike videos coming to Blakebuster soon?
UPP in stunning Ohio
At least one Premium Video from the outdoor sessions and a maybe a free taste or two from the BCGA that wouldn't be pure instruction. I am downloading the raw tape into my computer as I write and I have to say, Lynn was at the top of his game. Even if you know the book inside and out, these clinics brought life to words.

Stay Flat, Stay Level, Stay Vertical guys.

Mike,
Thank you for the kind words. It was also a pleasure meeting you for the first time. I am sure glad we have a forum to talk because my voice is gone after last week. Giving 120 lessons in four days was a first for me. I just got home and I think I lost weight because I didn't get a chance to eat the lunch you kept getting for me. Thank you very much for your help and I can't wait to see all of the video you shot.
