I took a stroll to see the Master and the Nuke. I had a picture of Lynn and I that I wanted him to sign. So as I approached, non other than Mike Jacobs was there watching Lynn and Ted fix the Head Pro at Links at Shirley. Nice swing and great guy. He was bombing them out their in Luke Land.......
So I met Yoda and Ted. They own the Holy Grail and you must see them and Get Fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
The highlight was hitting balls next to Lynn and getting hit with some turf of his. I should of removed my hat and get an instant hair placement......
I didn't want to lead Lynn on so I quietly moved back a little.
Ted Fort said I was a zero, oh no I meant that he said I should zero out my hips and shoulders on the backswing...........I was swinging east to west instead of north to south, so on Lynn and Ted's recommendation this is my last post as "Swingeasttowest"................................. ........
Ted thanks again for your knowledge and expertise of the golf swing. I hope one day the three of us play The Peoples Course.
Lynn thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I hope you enjoy the illegal substance.................

Thank you,Rich. It was fun seeing you again, and especially, helping you get back On Plane. You were striping them!
And regarding that 'illegal substance', I'm treating it with due respect: I've temporarily christened my backyard area as New Havana.

Wow...More Please!!!
Thanks,

Uh, that's a bit overstated. You don't fix a guy (our talented new friend in G.O.L.F., Philip Cardwell) who just two days before shot the course record (65).
But you can help him understand how he could (and did) virtually eliminate his Double Shift Plane Angle that he had wrestled with for years (Right Forearm Takeaway); increase his accuracy (Right Forearm On Plane at Address and Tracing through Impact); and improve his Power Package structure throughout the Stroke (Extensor Action). Also, to replace the slight Sway (caused by the disruptive Shoulder Turn Takeaway) with a Stationary Head and proper Pivot. So...bye, bye Plane Shift, Bent Left Arm at the Top and the increasingly sore Left Wrist through Impact.
Phil implemented the changes immediately -- don't believe all the 'two years to re-build' rubbish -- and was like a kid in a candy store. That's the benefit of working with good players: they can do immediately anything you ask them to do. And if what you are asking them to do works, then the result is likewise immediate. And make no mistake, the principles and procedures of The Golfing Machine work.
As Director of Instruction at The Links, Phil has a blue-ribbon pedigree. He earned his spurs over the past decade teaching with David Leadbetter, Bob Toski and Jim Flick. His time with the Golf Digest schools also exposed him to Paul Runyan and Jim Hardy. Not too long ago, he also began reading the little yellow book. When I walked into his studio and saw the book, an Impact bag and a mop attached to a golf shaft, I knew I was soon to meet a kindred soul. I'll have more to say about Phil in the coming days -- complete with photos! -- and the wonderful clinic he put on for our group. Trust me: Ol' Yoda learned as much from Phil as he learned from Ted and me!
Yoda is right, I shouldn't have used the term fixed. Phil is a great guy. We spoke about Waconah Country Club in MA where Phil played at times and the famous Toski brothers from North Adams. Waconah is know for the Little Brown Jug tournament that my sister n laws dad played many years ago. In fact this is his 33rd year playing the jug. He also remembers the Toski brothers playing there as well.

I appreciate the nice things that you sent from BETHPAGE BLACK! You didn't have to do that, but I will use them both until they're unfashionably faded. I hope you've reduced the pivot in start-up, and that you're going north to south (down, young man, down!!!). Keep me posted on your G.O.L.F.ing journey.
