I just meant that they MOST really don't care much about improving. Not that anything is wrong with that but it's kinda dumb to argue and with people like that.

Without the heated debates on all the other sites, this site, my site and Chuck's site would be much, much smaller.
You can convice some of the people, but not all of the people, but some of the biggest doubters WILL turn into rabid fans.
My best guesses (as of right now):
% of golfers who would ever take a lesson from a "Golfing Machine" instructor
15-25% max.
% of golfers who would ever visit a "Golfing Machine" -type instruction forum
less
But, we can try.
Brian,
As one who's taken plenty of lessons from golf instructors in search of "the truth" I think the number is higher than 15-25%. TGM still faces a lack of authorized instructors. How the hell can I live in Dallas and not have access to one?? It's not like there aren't a few golfers in the area.

Both sites serve a purpose. I look at the GEA like a bar scene. You meet some really nice people, but you have to put up with the occasional drunk. You first try to reason with the drunk. If he complies, great. If not, you might have to droop his lip or dot his eye.
However, I regard this site as the classroom. This is a place where like-minded individuals are seeking to learn from one another. The civility found in here differentiates between the two.

Hope you still visit the bar. Have an ale on me. I'll be at home.
I have GEA bookmarked. I think it has one good purpose and secondary purpose. I like to think it has some of the best deals on used equipment and trades. Other than that I like to look at what different people say about equipment performance,etc. I am hardcore TGM and I'm not trying to insult anyone but just telling the truth when I say that some of those guys could care less about discussing the golf swing if you're going to bring any reference of TGM or Homer into it.
Although I can't afford a TGM lesson (trying to go back to college and work a job), I'm wading through the book and with just that info. and what I've got off the forums here and at Brian's site I have become a much better ballstriker and have developed a deadly short game. I just hope and pray that Lynn or Ted don't retire before I can get out of school one day and take a lesson.
