Thanks for the reassurance, Kevin. I am going to make another thread in the appropriate "Emergency Room" section (as I've since learnt that this thread was incorrectly placed) and see what other TGM enthusiasts think about my current pattern. I really appreciate all the help you have given me.

The DVD is great. At age 71 and over 20 years experience of and on with TGM I can't emphasize enough the importance of an instructor. Unfortunately you can't do it yourself no matter how high you IQ. You brain lies to you. The golf machine is filled with illusions and a endless assortment of "feels". However you need the basic "textbook" knowledge to get the most out of a lesson with an authorized instructor. You need to be able to speak the language. I would go see someone for several hours, the rewards will be beyound your expectations. I know Paul Hart and Paul Smith are wonderful at what they do. Go see one of em no matter the cost.

You really think TGM is that difficult to learn/implement?

You really think TGM is that difficult to learn/implement?

I have to agree with David Sandridge.

Golf is difficult to learn later in life. You can not make something complex simple. TGM is a solid foundation of truth. Bobby Clampett said he wished he hadn't listened to other voices. Stick with TGM. It not the study of it that is difficult. It is the implementation. All of the various combinations and choices make it an entertainment for a lifetime. Instructors reduce the frustration and I am always stunned at my false ideas of what I need to correct. Cameras help but an instructor with a complete knowledge of the swing helps you get thru the complexity.

IMHO the golf swing is difficult but TGM is not - it cuts through all the BS.

Oh boy, here we go. When is it time to lay down and pull that divot over yourself? Don’t get me wrong, because I agree more than I disagree. But, I WILL NOT GO GENTLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT. As an aside, what is later in life? 25? 35? Or real old like 40?-Please mail me your car keys!
Golf is a FEEL. How U get it is the mystery. Exactly what is the feel of a “satisfactory” golf stroke? When is the appropriate time to seek the assistance of an instructor? How can I take away some "benchmarks" that will keep me from running myself into the ditch? I often wonder if many of those on the tour were not just lucky when they built a foundation and learned to play. I am reminded of the Charles Barkley's of this game.
