Had the Houston Open Qualifier yesterday, I have been working so hard on the adjustments to my new swing. I started not to play yesterday since it has only been 3 days since I found the TGM setup and right arm takeaway, but I said what the hell. I went out and shot 79 had a double on #1 and # 5, I booged #9, #15, and #18.... No birdies is what got me.. I hit the ball great, had 7 shots that I would call bad and 1 of them was a putt, and 1 was a chip, the other 5 were 2 bad drives, and 1 bad 3 wood, and 2 bad iron shots. I had not penailty strokes and missed 4 fairways and hit 13 greens. If you look at the stats I think it was not that bad. I have some work still to do but getting better. #9 and #18 I tried to force birdy, this is something I thought was needed and I guess trying to hard lead to boogy on both of them,,"Lesson Learned"!
The bad drivers and 3 wood i hit, topped them off the dee box about 60 yards..LOL To steep and trying to hit it to hard!
The Score 79 does not reflect the way I played, I just needed more birdies and more tournamnet confidence. Have to shake off the rust.
Thanks,

I'm loving me some Lynn Blake, and thats is in every bit of a manly/brute golf way...Lol I think Lynn has the in site and understanding on TGM, and the much bigger scope of the future of golf swings teachings. As some may know I am very knowledgeable about the golf swing and not allot impresses me, and I have heard most of it before. I talked to Lynn last week and he was every bit as kind as I thought he would have been. My ideas are very close to TGM and after studying some, it was a no-brainier to find out more. Every good teacher has his own idea's, but logically speaking Homer gave all the patterns and basically you just have to choose which one to use and what elements goes with it... (Hitter, Swinger, Switter, post aiming point, pre aiming point, hands pivot, pivot hands, right side back, left side open..ect,ect..) The point is I like what LB brings to the table and it goes good with my steak and mash potato's.

I agree Pro, it will be fun to see where you take it. I am a big fan of Brian Gay's swing, be sure you pick up that video lesson. I think it embodies Mr. Blake's principles at the highest level on which you teach. It will be fun to see if you go in that direction as well...

You know my thoughts from the other forum and you liked them and a lot of the other TGM guys liked them, it was just slicefixers followers who did not, and nothing against old slice he is a nice guy. The more information I get on TGM the easier the swinging of the club becomes it seems. I fully changed my swing Tuesday evening after talking with Jeff about the right arm takeaway, and keeping the right butt and shoulder back as long as possible. Then I go out in a PGA Tour Qualifier and hit 13 greens and 10 fairways. Tell me that TGM is wrong...and I will laugh! Just keep putting it together, and I think that the rest will fit in...
Just wanted to let some of you see the progress I am making, I am hitting a 9iron in the first vid, and a 5 iron in the second vid. You will be able to see the changes I have made, and the ones I am making...
