During that year, 2006, I started to implement the tgm-knowledge I gained at this site and through the book in my teaching, especially to good players and juniors at my club.
I spent more time with one junior, Anders Larson, since he was keen on learning more. He started to learn a little of the terminology and the concepts. During -07 he went down in hcp without really playing any good. Last fall we made a plan that the coming winter, the only thing of importance was alignements, imperatives, good mechanics.
His High School Golf teacher commented to him that he was to fixated with technique and that it would hurt his touch/feel...... My student answered "I am training on my mechanics which will produce the right feelings for me, which is what I will take out to the course! "
This season was about producing results/scoring, and that he has done. Started the season at -0,9 he has now +1,4. And I don´t think it will stop.
Well, a couple of hours ago I received a call from Anders.
In a field with the best amateurs in Sweden and with 6 wildcards on play, he had qualified for our event on the European Tour, the SAS Masters that will be played 14 - 17 of august.
I am as proud as his father and in my celebration I came to think of you.
