Well said Birdie Man
By the way, I like your Jimmy Hendrix photo! I once played golf with Jimmy's brother Leon, after the round I needed a ride- so we hopped in his 1960 Chevy Van and drove off in the sunset- while Leon relaxed with his substance of choice.

Ahaha...that's wicked man. Did Leon say anything about Jimi?
Hendrix was awesome- I hate how all the greats kill themselves off. His career was sooo short yet he still is thought of as one of the greatest of all time...imagine all the stuff he could have done from his death until now...good god. It's sad.

Wow, I seemed to have touched a nerve here. First off, I love Lynn's and Brian's and Chuck's forums and what they are trying to do, i.e. helping people play better golf. I also hate when these threads degenerate into mud slinging affairs. In another post Ted Fort wrote something to the effect that he is the "king of Anologies", why would an instructor say that, probably because he found that there is a difference between information and knowledge and that for some students he had to use different vocabulary to teach them. Now to keep this from getting too personal, thanks for the useful feedback all, a simple "You really should buy the book because, it's great" would have sufficed (I have ordered it). Thanks again for the constructive feedback.

Nonono...you didn't touch on a nerve really I don't think...at least not with me. It's a big issue tho really when it comes to TGM it seems. the whole complete complexity vs. incomplete simplicity thing. It's just that that's basically the core premise of TGM...why it works and how it works. I just wanted to explain why I think TGM is great...

That's what I wanted to explain. I don't think you would've gotten the message if I said "Now go buy this book because Paul says so!" Hehe...

The golfing machine is not about a quick fix....it's about dedication and self-improvement at the highest level. Enjoy the Journey!!! It will be one of the best $20 investments you will ever make....

There Bendet...that would be a good way to sum up TGM.
Very well put DG.

I had to respond to all that...

...I guess now, as Bagger pointed out, we should get back to Bendet's original question and see what we can do.
