I don't know where it will end up, but pretty sure getting there will be:

left-right-left-right-left-right

Im thinking the left-right-left etc is so great right now. Didnt really love it at first though, didnt know what to make of it. But after 6 or 7 lessons and Lynns insistence, Im finally convinced of it being the basis of the golf Motion. Melhourne, McDonald, Vardon, Hogan and others would agree I think.

Hmmm but is the left, right, left in TGM or is it more AG, Alignment Golf? ( "A Motion, Aligned Geometrically, Learned Mechanically and Played by Feel") Lynn's lessons are consistent with TGM, indeed honour TGM, but are not solely TGM.

Lynn needs to write his own book, I think. There is more, much more left to be said. Homer would applaud it, probably foresaw it.

Thanks, Kevin. You've almost got it!



Instead, it's:

Right-left-right-left-right-left.

Otherwise, it's a 'Reverse Pivot' and 'Rock and Block' and . . .

"FORE RIGHT!!!

That's not what Michelson said!

Man, what a stupid I am!

Is that a left-handed thank you to Mike O as well?

Sounds awesome. Too bad I live on the other side of town or I would be making a lot more trips to The Swamp.

I got to practice for a little bit today. So much discussion lately about the pivot...

I have done a poor job of studying the pivot, both in the yellow book, the MacDonald drills, and all the great information here. I have been too enamored with studying the power package, and swinging left...

Luckily, YODA found the pivot and plane to be my first wobbles. We attacked the pivot with YODA's version of the drills, and got me to feel the on plane backstroke, rather than the reverse loop I have used my entire career. It was great when I could make the proper compensation, but when I was off, nobody was safe.

Now coming back down the plane, I feel like I can do a much better job maintaining my alignments, and don't have to compensate with a flip. Man, we have nice fairways at Medina!

Now that I am on plane, shifting my weight properly using the ground forces (I always wanted to say that) I can focus on letting my accumulators release past low point into follow through, then to a proper finish swivel and pretty pose.

Man, this is fun!!!

Thanks again YODA!




Kevin
