Here is a video clip of random indoor teaching. It is with my new canon powershot a G9- great camera but not great with sound like my HD is but shows what Hull, Noel, Castner and Lynn is up too, Also Tom Paul of the Smart Stick was there,

ALL
6b
was that you running around with the camera and typing on the pc? sry, we never met I would have introduced myself to you.
was there today, was so early that the girl signing up lessons wasn't even there, by time i got back it was too late 3+ hour wait. unfortunately newborn at home at i had to hightail out of there.
It's too bad as i wanted to show ted(and lynn) my swing. It's gotten much better since the first clinic i took with them and what ted saw me doing last year, it's become very functional, i'm seeing the light in how to control my golf ball. I'l have to video it sometime to have them review.
yes all the men were there changing the golf world for better....and it included Billy Castner, who I took one of my first lessons from a 12-13 years ago. Billy played out of Dyker Beach when I was younger and studied under local legend Tom Strafaci. He was so busy getting one person to stop overswinging and getting on plane I did not want to bother him.
The Group, someone should think of a nickname for these guys, gets stronger every year it seems.
As the Open Champion Paddy would say .......QUALITY.

Yeah that was me. My laptrop is so slow compare to my work set up. I'm going to push out another slide show and video tonight and re-edit the first one to identify Ted and Jeff. You should have stopped by and said Hi, Bill Castner is as much a stand up guy as you will find. Smart Ai and a very fine communicator- everyone in Jersey and NYC should see him.
more 2 come. btw- I have a flickr account mpix123 is my name- all my pictures go there first.
later

The video is a great example of how Ted teaches every lesson.
Keep up the good work Ted.

That was Ted Fort. I am amending that first video with names but my laptop is very slow. Besides shooting here I have to dump cards into the puter, edit render and upload all this before Bagger gets it. Hang in there.

Big Shot
Ted,
I love the "Bullet" analogy. Excellent communication. I am going to steal that one. I will give you credit, however, being such a high "caliber" person.
Nice job Mike. Thanks for bring it to life and thanks to the Jedi Counsel for the presentation  .

I stopped by for a visit on Thursday afternoon. It was great to see Lynn, Ted and the "gang". Ted loves his ice cream.
EDZ is a great guy and does his famous "Drills" on cue!!!. 6bMike was there but I didn't spot him until later because he was wearing his Barclay shirt over his "Boston Sucks" tee shirt.
Where was Drewitgolf, I am still waiting for my lesson.
Lynn held court on the green turf, demonstrating the circle and how the hands travel, leading the club shaft and club head. Nice job Lynn!!.
Jeff was showing EDZ on how to get that right shoulder deeper in the backswing to make it easier to attack the ball on the downswing.
Fanning the right forearm is key at start up and probably the hardest thing to do for the average golfer. Watch Brian Gay on how he does it.
On the range I saw Ernie Els, efforless power. I could have watched him for hours. Most of the guys hit there Drivers deep into the trees at the end of the range. The ball kept on going. Amazing.
Special thanks to Yoda for making my visit a special one.

All the videos are produced on a small point and shoot, a canon G9. They are not meant to be pure instructional vids. I shoot that stuff on a canon HD. These smaller vids are edited on a small program and are more like a family video log. Two more to be posted tonight or early morning via You Tube. Hope you like them.
