Yoda, I've often wondered...
...why a picture of Michael Allen was used as the header for your web page. Is he a friend? A 'machiner'? Just curious...

Because that's the photo Bambam put up! I had no idea who it was. Especially since the first few weeks he was up 'left handed'.

Thanks for the info!

The photos were placeholders until I could get some swamp photos. The problem is every time we're at the swamp we golf!

Here's a group photo of our last adventure, taken on the first tee of Atlanta CC just before we teed off in an LBG outing during Masters week 2008. That's Bambam (Ben Mahan, in the red shirt and shades) and his brother, Matt Mahan, on the far right. Others (L-R) are John MacDonald, Larry Powell, Jeff Hull, Lynn Blake, James MacDonald, and Daryl DelSasso.

I don't know Ted, they look like a bunch of swingers to me. We need to get a group of hitters together and have a challenge match someday.

You've done quite enough teaching IMO...my brother has added 10+ yards to every club in his bag thanks to you! Between this and the putting tips you gave him last year, I'm beginning to think you are trying to help people play better.

Hi Yoda
I have watched some of your videos and am trying to understand the picture below. Can you please explain this as it doesnt look like anything I see the players on Tour doing. As a beginner, I am unsure what the purpose of learning this is. Thanks.

welcome rightsided.

Having watched Lynn's 'Alignment Golf' dvd, I can tell you that the arch Lynn is demonstrating is a little extra insurance against the flipping of the left wrist.

I'm sure some of the brains trust can enlighten you further, some time ago Lynn told us that he would view threads but he hasn't time to answer all questions.

Your reputation precedes you, rightsided. As you have just landed here and this is your first post, I would advise you to leave your bags packed. You may find it a short stay.



In the unlikely event I have misjudged your intentions, I'll offer this:

As a self-professed beginner, it is not important that you know. Instead, it is important that you find a competent instructor -- a demonstrated record of success at all levels is a good benchmark -- and do as you are told. Or else save your money and his time.

That said, the video itself (from which you extracted the photo) contains the explanation you seek. Since it is free, I suggest you watch it until some glimmer of truth seeps through. You might also find some enlightenment here: http://lynnblakegolf.com/gallery/sho...ry.php?cat=504.
