When Lynn first showed me the McDonald exercises I didnt like them very much or get what they were all about. I couldnt wait for the marching to stop frankly. I would have preferred to have been hitting balls and looking at film of my swing... I couldnt have more astounded when I finally got the message.

Lynn knew that words alone couldnt fix what I had ingrained over decades of golf . I needed motion retraining. It took hours as I recall to gain some ground that first day. Even then I was far from finished, the lessons continued for several years actually and it wasnt until a month or so after the last lesson that they clicked in full strength. Looking back on it he broke me like you would a wild horse. The biggest gains were made at the end of the day , after he'd exhausted me. My "head" got in the way of the retraining. He got me outa my head , like an acting coach would an "over thinking it" actor.

The darn swing just isnt what we tend to think it is. I was over turning , over lifting etc. All this extra stuff. Weirdest thing is my swing now looks way better than it used to . Without any thought to what I looked like during the motion training , I ended up with the look I wanted. Weird aint it?
