Yoda,

What will be your approach to the 1,000’s of people who come to learn from you at the Barclays?

I think that walking up the isle dressed in Vestment and Hat holding the Little Yellow Book is fine for us, your congregation, (by the way, I think Gold and Red are your colors) but the general golfing public may not get the humor.

How do you explain to these 1,000’s that a nearly forty year old out of print book holds the “Secret to Golf”? After all, it does.

I would focus on drills. The Tree Imperatives. Hands-on for the audience. Set up some PVC pipes a foot above the floor, with a piece of tape wrapped around at the impact position. See if they can get there with a flat left wrist and take the hands, Clubshaft and Clubhead into impact. Explain the Three Dimensional Impact, Pivot lag. I would bring all of the toys. They’ll want to play with the launch monitor.

Remember, they’re there to have fun.

If all else fails, does Ted play the Organ? Gregorian Chants are nice. Ted can demonstrate the "X Pattern" Basic Putting Stroke.

Seriously. Good luck and have a great time.
