You gave up on self-study of the book but got help from someone who could effectively TRANSLATE what's in there right? So wouldn't it be translation and the learning how to learn part?
Yes, thankfully, I learned a lot of good stuff from others who know the book. But I didn't (and couldn't) get it on my own out of the book. For those that can, God bless 'em. This was my original point in post #4 -- the book is gold in the hands of golf instructors who need to know how all those 24 components fit together in the swing. But your average golfer -- which is about 98% of all golfers -- doesn't need to know all of the stuff in the book. They just need to know what works best for them.
So, that's how I'm approaching it now -- go to the guru if I want some help, but I'm just not reading the book anymore. Leaves me more time to watch my Ron White vids!
There's no doubt that good information helps....that's not even arguable.
Guided struggle.
...
I mean....the book may screw you up for a while if you take on the full dose by yourself....but you sort it out....and come out better and smarter in the end. (if you're persistent)
Can you Play to a scratch flipping? Can you Play on tour Flipping?Can you win PGA Flipping? Yes Yes Yes.
Is Winning Golf all about Great golf stroke and great ball striking? No
Which have a better chance of winning anything. A tough Mental Attitude or a Fantastic Golf Stroke ? Sergio. Michelle. The other End of the spectrum My Hero. Jim Furyk
Do you need Confidence , Great Strategist, Temperament, Attitude to Win? Yes.
If You have great mental attitude. You just find ways to be Perfect and ways to go into the Hole with the lowest Stroke.. Isn't that Golf, Life?
Do Being Effective gives you a better chance and reduce fustration? Talking about that,I personally like to see Nick Faldo come learn TGM. Will be so cool.
It is easy and possible to hit a golf ball with a predictable Pattern. It is NOT easy to hit it effectively. Is that why The Author's Objective of TGM?
Is there any other books that can scientifically explain why this man hits a mile , hits it crisper than any other ?
Is there any other golf book that had endured 7 editions and still improving?
Is being Effective makes the Game FUN and less fustrating, and makes less demanding on your physical self to make a golf stroke effective till you cannot walk?
Is TGM a short cut ( a difficult short cut) to learning effective golf stroke, Or A short cut can create an effective golf stroke?
Is that why GSED is there for?

Drunk in PUB-LICK . . . Have you SEEN that dude's hair lately? YIKES!!! It just about ruint it for me!!!
When I was reading your posts I was thinking about the idea that Brian had brought up before, that good players learn lag by hitting hooks. Some people, for whatever reason, have the proper instincts when it comes to self-correcting on the range. One guy starts to hook it, he creates a little more lag, meanwhile I'm hitting some hooks and start steering it. The thing is, with good information and consistent practice and good preparation as Mathew alluded to, you can increase your odds of becoming a player.
Some people don't have all the wrong instincts with a golf club contrate to what Hogan stated in Five Fundamentals. Some swing it fairly close to correctly naturally and are blessed with the talent or maybe even luck to make some good corrections to improve ball flight.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
