Start with a question?
Look at the chapter and section headings in the book- does anything jump out at you?
The Imperatives? The machine concept of 1-L? How about the preface? Kelley's preface has more golf information in it then most entire golf books?
Why is a flat wrist important?
What is the difference between the physics of the stroke and the geometry of the stroke? How many are there?
what are pressure points?
Besides reading the book- go lightly with it at first. Read past threads and see what interests you and - Ask a question. It is a long and fascinating path
For a TGM for "Dummies" guide- the videos are some of the best in the tgm golf world.
Having attended and passed both schools you will be attending, all I can say is that you will have a great time and you will learn so much. As far as getting prepared for school 1 I would take time to get a good understanding of the terms located in the "glossary". Most of the 1st day will consist of getting the definitions down. Next I would follow the outline that you will be presented prior to going. As always starting with the outine given in the preface of the book as to how you should follow the chapters and topics. Finally, be prepared for a lot of writting each evening. The questions for the exam will have you writting until your hands bleed! Stay ahead of the game and do as much answering of the questions as you can each day. I promise you will get a great deal of information from the experience. Enjoy!

The golfing machine at first can be quite daunting and is certainly not for the myopically minded. The golfing machine really gets you into the correct type of thinking and concepts required to understand the golf stroke and its variations.
To really understand TGM, you must never stop thinking! You must gain the knowledge to really visualise how every part works as a collective in its own intraspective way and their interactions with each other. You must find ways to test yourself and the more that you visualise the clearer and clearer the picture becomes until its crystal clear to where you can just visualise different patterns in your head... this skill is what seperates someone that just quotes and paraphrases the book (often incorrectly) from those that understand it. However that is something that will take a LONG time.
On a side note - if you ever get to that point, it is an unfortunate fact that the more you learn, the more you recieve animosity from others, almost to the point of absurdity which can be really annoying at times but you always have to remind yourself that is because you have something they don't - a clear perception.
