[hg]

he was a tour player over here in Australia, played against the likes of Nicklaus etc in the Australian Open

I had another long talk with him today and in amongst it all he said he would have paid $50,000 to have the info that is in those video clips 20 yeras ago

To be honest with you I don't know about the true quality of his ball striking and here is why:

there was one time I had a lesson with him and then he decided to hit some balls off to one end of the range

I didn't know so much about TGM then and I guess there was a kind of mystique about what he was doing when I looked across as I finished my bucket of balls

He was doing what I wld now say was a TGM waggle

everything was so precise, slow and deliberate

from memory he would hit 1 ball every say 2 minutes

I just have never seen anyone who was so certain about what they were doing with a golf club and this is something I have never spoken to him about

then he would swing and the ball would fly like an arrow

so the long reality is that i only watched from behind and afar

I find Lynn's video stuff inspiring

I find talking with Paul inspiring also

its just hard to put into words - there is something they capture that you cannot learn from a book

I have been around golf, golf teaching etc for a while and I guess I am a bit cynical

Paul Hart is one of the hidden gems in golf instruction anywhere in the world in my opinion. Not just because he is a TGM GSED but there is the X factor.

He told me today his level of appreciation of The Golfing Machine and how to teach it is growing almost exponentially in the last 6 mths.

Even a month or so ago he realised he didnt fully understand something so he went out and hit 100s of balls to grasp what it really meant

I will post more on him if anyone is interested

Please do tell us more about Paul...did his TGM journey begin during his playing career or after? ..do you know why his late surge in appreciation and how to teach it has occurred after so many years of TGM? Thanks for sharing with us your insights of Paul....he is fascinating to listen to....wouldn't it be great if he joined this FORUM.
