Now again, I'm still hopeless at golf- but a light went on when I hit that shot. One of those "oh...so THAT'S what they mean by 'out'!" I was hooked, for good, last Wednesday at Dyker, while hitting balls alone in the freezing cold. It was the moment where I said "that's it, I'm gonna stay with this way of learning golf, gonna COMMIT to it. And I will. And as I improve and become an 80s shooter (I have modest goals) I'm gonna remember guys like you and DukeNasty who intoduced me to the world of TGM--- AS TAUGHT BY TED AND LYNN!
Twan,
That light that went on is what got most of us into the teachings of Mr. Kelley as taught by Mr. Blake and Fort. I remember playing Dyker in the 60's (1960's not degrees)....There was an old car near the fence on one of the holes and the fairways were hard as a rock....
The great thing about TGM is it is a constant. Nothing changes, except your overall knowledge of the golf stroke and your own application of it......so you build on what you know. Overtime you just improve, how fast is dependent on whether you interpret the book and your needs correctly or how well the AI does that for you. With much conventional instruction you have no ultimate idea of what you are trying to achieve or what you need to change to improve. You get a 'technique' per lesson and sometimes they are contradictory. I had made a vow in 2003.. no more lessons. Ted changed that for me.
Try hard to make the trip down. LaGuardia to Atlanta ought to be an easy trip, and I promise it will take a bunch of time off your already scheduled golf game improvement journey. Ever run into Chris Sturge at Dyker?
