thanks
 
Guys, thanks for the recommendations.

The past 20 months since St. Augustine have been an experience for me. Learning TGM from all, especially Yoda and Yodasluke, has been great. But what I value most is your friendship.

If any are interested in assistance, my info is in the Pro Contributors section.

Impressive indeed
 
Lee's resume is quite impressive. I'm even more impressed by the collegiate wrestler tag because I wrestled and was no where good enough for college. Having Lee, Ben Doyle and some others in California is great. Only problem now is deciding which one to go to.

What the heck, I might as well take lessons from as many as I can. I just need a plan to pay for it and have my wife happy at the same time. ;)

I'm loading my right elbow TO DRIVE THE CLUB THROUGH IMPACT and Yoda's loading his left wrist TO DRAG THE CLUB THROUGH IMPACT. It's really all about the loading, not the prescribed assembly point. Top and end are good visual checks for the instructor, though.

I hope I don't get under anyones skin bumping a post from 3.5 years ago but I am doing a bunch of back research on posts concerning hitting and came across this! It makes so much sense its silly, and this is supposed to be overly complex stuff that the average joe will never comprehend?

Thank you for bumping this gmbtempe.

In my humble opinion, TGM is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to the internet making it easier to learn through this forum. There are MANY newbies like me who need to see and learn from these classic posts. The information posted 3.5 years ago is every bit as relevant today. :salut:

You're not the only one. When I started re-reading TGM (the first time I read it was about 12 years ago and I only understood about 4 pages of it) and I then asked around for some help and finally started to understand most of it, I had a bunch of those 'head slapping' moments/it makes so much sense it's silly moments.

I think I took basic Geometry about 15 years ago. I've never taken a physics course. And I went to a school that I loved going to (Coastal Carolina University), but won't be confused for MIT anytime soon. Yet, even I managed to comprehend TGM.

People interested in TGM just need to stop listening to those who never really investigated TGM who bad mouth it or claim that you need to be Albert Einstein to understand the yellow book.

Homer Kelley was my personal mentor.

The Golfing Machine, his gift to golf, has been my constant reference for thirty years.

Given that birthright and thousands of hours on the lesson tee, I know that . . .

If you can walk straight-ahead and swing your arms side-to-side, you can play a very satisfactory game of golf. One, most probably, better than you are playing now.

I made a similar statement a couple of years ago in response to a challenging post written by one of our more 'technical' members. In keeping with his equally inflamatory personality, the young man took umbrage and left the site.

:crybaby:

With all due respect to our late friend and those who would argue likewise, golf is a natural game that 'we the people' screw up with an incredible number of unnatural notions and alignments.

My business is turning Madness into Mechanics and Mechanics into Miracles.

Today, working with a late-fifties Chicago man with two removed spinal discs, we exchanged weak, 'dying quails' to the right for strong, draw shots seeking fairway and pin. He dropped twenty years and added thirty yards. We exchanged 'high fives' time and again.

It's what he came and paid for.

It's what I'm here and live for.

Working together, we made it happen.
