What a great event. I personally experienced an almost vertical learning curve. It would have taken me years to even come close to gathering so much information relating to TGM. And on top of that; meeting such a superb bunch of golf geeks.
I started writing sort of a diary of my road to TGM on the flight back home. After some time it turned out it could be material for an entire book. The aftermath of the Bash and other things I did in the US is overwhelming. A complete golf near overdose.
I tipped off my trip by a solid par-birdie finish playing TPC Sawgrass from the tips. Found center of green on 17. Made par. Then clearkeyed that curving 6-footer on 18 & got the birdie on one of the hardest holes on tour (I guess). Was a superb way to finish. Straight up to the locker room. A shower and off to the airport.
Since then I have basically been on flights for quite some time & just got in. My golfbag is delayed and so is the camera. As soon as I get it I'll post a few pics.
Just wanted to throw a post saying:
- Randy (the owner & maire of Destin BTW ) really set up an excellent event. Lots of VERY good thinking behind it.
- Understatement: Yoda, Yodasluke, Chuck & Dr. Carey severely failed to disappoint.
- Really good to meet all you TGM geeks.

Thanks again Randy. Lack of words.
Words could never express the amount of joy and fun that I had meeting and spending so much time with everyone. Seldom am I lost for words but...this is one of those times.
Fredrick, I wish you could (everyone else also) have been at the dinner Monday night. Copper Grill is the bomb!!!!
Chuck is on plane as we speak.
Now if I can get both them home safe, life is good and I can chill.
It was a great treat meeting such exemplary representatives of a fine, if very cold, country. Destin was a blast, and I enjoyed, in particular, our late night discussions and demonstrations of TGM. I wish the three of you great success in your journey towards playing better G.O.L.F. I hope to see you soon.
Sustain the lag,
Duffy
Great to see you too. If there were no flights to interrupt things I am sure we would still have kept going for a long time still. Now I will try to keep it up by getting my new impact bag "installed" and find a permanent honorary location for thos two dowels that Yoda gave me.
As I told Yodasluke I was again amazed - but not surprised - to re-confirm just how great communicators americans are. Seems your school system and probably "freedom of speech" tradition really propells americans to become GREAT WITH WORDS.
Destin was a bunch of fun. And it was A THRILL to be surrounded by over a dozen of addicts - each with knowledge and questions - plus some of the greatest (if not THE GREATEST) golf instructors in the world.
Hope to see you again Duffy. I was impressed by your TGM knowledge.
) really set up an excellent event. Lots of VERY good thinking behind it.
