Lifetime TGM'er

Yeah I was at the throw down for that 96 yearold chick too. I was hittin' on her baby sister Edna. We were dancin' to some Tone Loc and I broke it down with the alligator bob. Her baby-daddy, Gilbert, hit me with a walker. Before I knew it was catchin' a beatin' from all kinds of durable medical equipment. The cops came and locked me and Mike up . . .

NO JUSTICE . . . NO PEACE.

I must be out of the loop. What's a Tone Loc, and how does one dance to it?

Sometimes the taser doesn't work...

Ted,
Most of the forum members may not know that - that is my dog in your post#18. It took me a year to train him to react like that when I say "12 Piece Bucket!" But he's fully trained. I've still have 10 more dogs to train before I head to North Carolina.

It did look like you were playing great- based on the score card etc. Nice job! 24 putts!: That's sick! Here I make a nice post on your game and you gotta stab me in the back - knowing that I've got a stab, hurky, yip, convulsive, epileptic seizure putting stroke! OK- I know where you stand- so you're on Bucket's team - fine, fine!!! I'll make a note of that.

P.S. I only used three smilie icons- under the Bagger dictatorship the limit is 8- so much for a free economy! Maybe when he stops looking for his beat up Top Flite in the rough- he'll do something productive around here! I know Lynn will probably post to protect him- how much work he's put in etc.- but something must be done- an uprising is in the air!!!

I honestly don't know AC.
All I can tell you is the NSA has called me about Bucket and the CIA is looking for MikeO.
Lately we have been infested with spammers from Eastern Europe and Russia. I know those two are behind all of it.
If either of them offer a round of golf...beware of exploding ProV's. The kind with C4 in the core.

7-17: Foot Loading - enabled him to get the FLW at Impact.

Sorry to re-jack the thread. But, I was asked to give a little more detail.

7-17: "Address Position loading of the Feet is even distribution between both feet but with enough on the heels to allow the toes to be lifted up momentarily without altering the distribution between the toe and heel."

Since he was starting on the balls of his feet and going to the toes quickly in Start Up, his Balance was immediately lost.

I don't know where the rumor started, but it was told to me that Rocking (moving closer to or away from the ball) would be added to the Snares in the 7th. I have no idea from whom the rumor originated. I think it was from someone that attended a GSEB class, so don't take it as gospel. It seems to make sense, but I don't recall it being in Homer's notes.

But, it's obvious that this man's changing proximity to the ball affected his ability to keep Balance, clear the right hip, maintain Extensor Action, & keep the FLW.

Thanks Ted for interesting posts... i have long term habitual fault of drifting my weight towards my toes....bad habit...

I have looked through a few old books and Ben Hogan in "Power Golf" is adamant that :-

"None of your weight should rest on the clubhead point of contact. That will be true if the weight is back through the heel as it should be. You should never feel that the weight is forward on your feet if you have taken up the correct position."

He repeats the same position in "Modern Fundamentals":-

"Your weight should be bit more on the heels than on the balls of your feet, so that, if you wanted to, you would be able to lift your toes inside your shoes"

At some point in golf instruction there then came a change towards the weight being more towards the balls of the feet... any ideas when, why or how this occurred??

In Sam Snead’s "How to play golf" he has a section on foot action with some good images... it seems a bit of an under-discussed component in modern teaching maybe?

Maybe it's because a lot of instruction stresses getting into "an athletic position", and relate it to other sports. Oversimplification in action?

I agree Bigwill. It's a mistake to make direct comparisons.

Being in the so-called "athletic position" usually relates to those sports where the ball is moving. When you are on your toes, you are preparing to run to a moving ball (baseball, tennis, basketball, & football). Knowing that walking and running are uncentered endeavors (controlled falling), golf is the opposite. Golf needs a center and balance. And, golf begins with a stationary ball.
