I have been playing quite a while and ranged from low 80s to 120s over the last 25 years. I began TGM to play better and more consistently which it has allowed me to do. I did as you did, read the book (several times) and then got on the TGM forums for more details. I highly recommend starting from chipping to pitching and then full swing for your flat left wrist work. I started there and my chipping and pitching are the best part of my game followed closely by irons (short to long) and then driver (still working on it).
Good luck. Don't let the book fool you, it is jammed with useful information that you don't get the first time.
Glad I didn't listen to some reviewer that said it was a waste of time. Definitely not.

The reviews I looked at were all negative at the start but I kept plugging along and all of sudden there were a bunch of positive reviews. You'd think that if you were trying to sell books you would at least mix the reviews or have the positives first.
I would like to thank everyone so far for their suggestions and experiences and I would also like to say that it is a pleasure to receive helpful suggestions as opposed to the attack philosophy that happens on other boards. This looks like a great place to go for help.
Hi all. I am also new to TGM and one who could definitely benefit from the duffer's bible (it's on order and I am looking forward to it's arrival). I am not new to golf, but I am newly serious about it having managed to make sufficient progress this last summer to avoid all thoughts of giving up (which I did before). As an engineer/scientist involved in teaching and research in mechanics, I find TGM fascinating. This web page is the most amazing instructional site I have ever encountered. I am thrilled to have found it and I look forward to continuing to learn from all of the thoughtful instruction and discussion.
Welcome Brian!
Thanks for the nice compliment and great first post. As a golfer/engineer/scientist you have arrived at your final destination for a lifetime of better golf.
Enjoy the Journey!
Be sure and search the forum as you start the learning process and don't be afraid to ask anything. We set up the Golfing Machine Basic section specifically to help lift the fog.
