Thanks to all that have contributed. I plan to consolidate the listing to post in a week or so for all. Keep them coming. Someone had recommended Bertholdy Book for exercises. Didn't like the descriptions I have heard and I'm not a big believer in your "mind" learning static positions over a long period of time. Anyone have thoughts on his book?
Kevin,
Located a copy of "The Mechanics of Golf" - Alex Hay - on E Bay last night. Cost me a staggering US$2.55!!!!!!!!
Coming after you if it 'aint worth that kind of dough.
I feel pretty safe at that price. Easily worth that for the pictures of how the hands work at the top alone. Easy read and you will be amazed at how much it mimics what we hear here.
Still wanting to know if anyone has info on Bertholdy (spelling probably wrong).
Lagster,
I had a chance at Golf-O-Metrics here in SA at a local store for about $70 bucks, 2 years ago. Really bad shape. Passed on it, wish I hadn't now.
I know several folks reference it and he discusses how most problems in golf are related to turn and poor hands. Be interested to hear if it is worth it.

The Bertholy book is a set of static and dynamic drills to achieve proper impact with tremendous lag. Its basic training on using the right hand properly in the golf swing. Some people have had good sucess with his approach but it does take a lot of effort.
Yoda spent some time with Bertholy and probablly could provide more insite.

Got it today and you are right.
Did you get "The Golfing Manual" yet? Now that is worth a couple of bucks!
Thank you, 12 piece bucket, for your recommendation a few months ago of Every Shot Must Have A Purpose. Not only is it the best book I have ever read about golf; it offers great lessons about life in general. I'm going to buy another copy for my son.

The Manual of Golf by Alex Hay is great too. It has some basics on clubs, etc which is old but his stuff on the set up, plane, swing, is very very good. Grip is standard grip and he discusses FLW/BRW specifically. I haven't gotten through the whole book yet (just got it Monday, 1 May) but it is worth a look too. I did pick up the other Hay books too and they are not worth it. Mostly basic stuff with little on swing, etc.
All in all, happy find. He stresses some very good TGM basics without saying TGM once. Neat. In the Manual of Golf he stresses to work on your swing in the order he prescribes to troubleshoot problems (order is grip, stance, ball position)......don't know the rest yet still reading.
Worth a look if you can get a good price.
