Where to begin?
Brief introduction. 58 years old, ~1 hcp since 1973, have decided to investigate TGM (just acquired the book) and have decided to try to master "hitting". This is an exercise in learning more than it is an attempt to improve my game. For some bizarre reason I get more enjoyment from hitting good shots than I do from winning tournaments so I'm looking for more good golf shots.

I have started my quest by reading just about every thread and watching every video (I loved the Tomesello series). I have begun reading Homer Kelley in the order he suggested. I will read the entire book and then start over. But where to start?

My thoughts are that I should start with the grip followed by learning the flat left wrist. Flat left wrist will be a challenge for me because I have always known where my right hand was and used it to control direction and trajectory. I have always ignored my left wrist.

I was thinking chipping and an inpact bag. Then there are the dowels.

As it says in 1-E

Suggestions for how to make this a positive experience would be appreciated.
