gettin' ready for a whole new world
Having attended and passed both schools you will be attending, all I can say is that you will have a great time and you will learn so much. As far as getting prepared for school 1 I would take time to get a good understanding of the terms located in the "glossary". Most of the 1st day will consist of getting the definitions down. Next I would follow the outline that you will be presented prior to going. As always starting with the outine given in the preface of the book as to how you should follow the chapters and topics. Finally, be prepared for a lot of writting each evening. The questions for the exam will have you writting until your hands bleed! Stay ahead of the game and do as much answering of the questions as you can each day. I promise you will get a great deal of information from the experience. Enjoy!

Lag and Snares.
"Lag, the secret of golf".

"Snares", the enemy of golf.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

Read Preface
Read the Forward and Preface. The suggested approach to the book is on page x.

I have a copy that I tabbed for easier reading using the lists provided.

You can also look up EdZ and check out his suggestions on how to approach the book.

Congratulations on finding the yellow book. You will be amazed at what you will learn in a very short time. Stick with it.

Also, great suggestion on the gallery. Plenty of information there to help you with the terminology.

Good luck.

Thank you guys for all the help. I will definitely go through the book a few times. The glossary is probably what I need to focus on the most as the terminology is really confusing me right now. I have another question for those that have been through the class: Would you suggest taking both level 1 and level 2 back to back or do you think it would be more beneficial to take level 1 and wait a few months then go to a level 2 class?
Again, thanks for all help!

Back to Back
There were a few in my class that attended back to back sessions. It certainly can be done but do expect to become a little brain dead with all the research and reading you'll be doing. School 2 is a balance between classroom and outdoor, so it breaks it up a little. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to going for my GSEM soon. One day I hope to get to the new "swamp" and get to know the people behind the icons. Enjoy the ride!
