Dude . . .

Like your little tag line thingie. Interesting choice.

Why did you choose it? What does it mean to you?

Holla back!

Thanks!

Mr. One Dozen:
I enjoy your sense of humor, you're funny. Must be around my age as you referenced a couple things such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High. How did that not win an Oscar?!!
Concerning the tag line: "It is the golfer's job to take club down angle of approach to low point." Lynn said this to the class this last May in Las Vegas and I wrote it down because it made so much sense to me. It simplified my thought process to concentrate on one thing. If I can do that on each swing the quality of shot will be pretty darn good.

Hey, I need some help with my putting. I could never get my right forearm on plane at address using my old grip (reverse overlap with the grip underneath the heel pad). I have no chance of getting my left hand grip through the life line. How important is that and how do you do it? I'm trying to keep a FLW but seem to struggle a little, any suggestions?

Here's something for you, enjoy!

Thanks dude! I couldn't open the link . . . There's no party there for me! I'm 1970 vintage . . . You mean Fast Times DIDN'T win an Oscar???? Travesty man! That's worse than $70 and a ride to the clinic.

So with the It is the golfer's job to take club down angle of approach to low point are you Hitting or Swinging? I that is kind of my thought process to BUT I'm a Swinger. Holla back at me!

I'm the LAST person to give putting advice. But check out the short game section. There's a really good thread where Yoda goes into how he sets up for putting. I'll see if I can find it and put the link up. I'm pretty sure Homer said DON'T change your grip for putting so what about scrapping the reverse overlap? Who knows . . . . I'd say you gotta get #3 zeroed out for power concerns. You don't really need much transfer power with putting I wouldn't think.

Just be glad I had fast reflexes . . . .

Let's try this one!! http://wavcentral.com/sounds/movies/fasttime/aloha.mp3

I'm a Swinger who has Hitting thoughts and hallucinations! I 'preciate the putting tips, I'll look for the Yoda thread. I'm more than willing to scrap the grip if I can get my hands on 'dat thing in a comfertable manner.

After reading the fact you have over 2,000 posts in 2 years, I am a little concerned...that's over 2 posts a day average!!! I think you might be a Yoda groupie...keep 'em coming as I am not smart enough to ask the question.

Ah Mr. Hand . . . great flick. I would be a Yoda groupie but I can't afford to follow him around on tour . . . did that with Meatloaf . . . it was more in my budget.

I have looked at a couple posts concerning putting and sorting through it. In order to zero out #3 the grip feels different but doable. Any other tidbits?
I noticed your post on Getting better, good luck, I'll follow your progress and know you'll improve with HB's help.

It's posts like these that make me glad you are here for "our time" Bucket!

Nothing wrong with a little pizza on our time either huh Eddie?

Ted . . . can slap putt . . . you should axe him. He uses a Paw stroke . . . sets BOTH forearms on plane with bent elbows and just rocks his shoulders . . . read about Paw. It's pretty deadly. Your low point is more towards the middle of your chest so play it there and you'll be using vertical hinging. It's a great way to putt.

The putter is pretty upright anyway so it's tough to get a lot of #3 angle anyhow.

I have a bone to pick with Ted regarding this. He showed my brother how to set his forearms on plane and ever since I'm getting my butt kicked worse than usual.
