Jim McLean: With a huge talent like Seve, conscious thought can
short-circuit the intuitive gift. He got with Mac O'Grady, and they
had that ritual of burying Seve's old swing in the desert. I thought it
was a sad day for golf. I wrote a long letter to Seve after reading
that but never got a reply.
Mac knows a tremendous amount about the golf swing, and he's a
compelling teacher, but with Mac talking a lot of science and
demonstrating, it was a lot for Seve to absorb. Changing Seve was
taking an artist and making him a mechanic.
If anyone is interested in going to a mac school pm me there is one coming up in the next few months here in california. Or if you have any questions let me know.
First off, welcome to the forum and thanks for jumping in! Look forward to hearing much more.
We welcome discussion about Mac and his teachings and there are many posts on this site attesting to that.
I have to draw the line on Advertising for another golf school unless it's affiliated with LBG. Judging by your post, it appears that you have some affiliation and if I'm wrong, please forgive me.
Perhaps sometime in the future if Mac and Lynn have an agreement up front...
Until then,
Thanks for understanding.

We welcome all who would participate. We ask only that members refrain from posts that (1) are deliberately hurtful or condescending to others or (2) are hopelessly over the top in personal promotion.
To that second end, we have edited your announcement to remove the 5 point super-sized Font and its blue text color. For the benefit of our membership, we have allowed the text itself to stand.
We do not fear dissenting opinion or alternative 'systems.' Nor do we tolerate mean-spirited behavior. I personally have taken down posts that I thought were malicious toward Mac O'Grady and his work. And I will do the same for those malicious toward Homer Kelley and his work...or toward fellow LBG contributors.
The resulting swing looks radically different from today's dominant models. Most top teachers advocate a big move off the ball, loading up the right side to produce power and keeping the shoulders more or less level. Bennett and Plummer, in contrast, stress staying over the ball, with less weight shift and a steep shoulder turn. "At first it looks and feels like a reverse pivot," Baddeley says, "but now I absolutely love the feeling of being right on top of the ball."
The Top of the Standard Pivot is illustrated in TGM's Photo 10-12-A #1. Its Follow-Through alignments are illustrated in Photo 10-12-A #2.
In these Photos, the Pivot alignments stand as illustrated above and defined in 7-12 and 10-12-A.
Morever...
For those who would incorrectly use a Body (Pivot) illustration to analyze Arm and Hand relationships, i.e., use the Follow-Through Photo to differentiate alignments in the Hands Lane (Zone 3 -- 1st six editions), the Hinge Action is Angled.
Which, of course, is totally irrelevant to the illustrated Standard Pivot.
