You've asked serious questions.

It's time for serious answers.

In the next couple of days, I'll take my video camera to the Lesson Tee for conversations with two of TGM's most capable Authorized Instructors, Ted Fort (Hitter) and Steve Ferguson (Swinger). In this bare-knuckled reality video session, you will get the concepts you need to move to the next level.

Can't wait. I love it when you turn up the heat in our incubators.

Square toe line for normal shots...as is normal...maybe slightly open for short shots, slightly closed for longer ones. W/E. Square toe line IS NORMAL though, for straight ball flight.

When I said "close hips slightly at address" I meant HIPS ONLY. Feet are still square. Normal stance- slightly closed hips.

Hope that helps der chummy.

Wow.... is all I can say. I'll never forget that day I read DukeNasty's post on GEA about his lesson with Yoda... and the bent right wrist. Don't know why but I tried it and liked what I got... then I bought the book, then it got real good... this website started....then it got better, I went and had a 4 hr. lesson with Ted... best lesson experience ever (and I'm still working on it 4 months later). Now it sounds like it will just keep getting better.

This is the best golf website going... and it isn't just the instruction. It it the grace, the kindess and the generosity shown to all who seek help. Once again I thank all those involved for their contributions.

As I finished my lesson with Yoda 3 mo ago both Ted and Steve had just finished their lessons for the day. Yoda had Steve and Ted set-up as I watched from face-on. First, Steve with a "swing", followed immediately by Ted with a "hit". It REALLY hits home to see these guys side-by-side. I can't wait for the new footage. And , yes, I have been smacking myself in the head since that day for not bringing my video camera to my lesson! Roberto DiVicenzo said it best, "What a stupid I am." Stay healthy kids.

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.

I teach so many people from so many different walks of life that I have to get the point across in any way that I can. If I mention TGM, most would ask if they could get in it. In other words, 'can you strap me in this golfing machine?' Many lengthy and unneeded explanations follow that little conversation. No...it's a book...and on and on and on....

I know it's hard to believe, but out of 1500 lessons a year, I get one or two that don't know about TGM. :o :shock: :lol:

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....

Very good DG...
Thanks for the words straight from the man...
