Ridgewood County Club is famous because Lord Byron taught there:
After he became a professional in 1932, Nelson's biggest improvement came in the two years he spent as an assistant professional at the Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey, beginning in 1935.
It is another beautiful New Jersey golf course- A Tillinghast.
btw- I never knew that Nelson was an hemophilic - the reason he didn't serve in the armed forces during WWII
Mike,Nelson had a mild clotting disorder that has frequently been reported in print as hemophilia. Not true, full-blown hemophilia, though.
This is the first I read about it. I knew he taught in NJ and found the hemophillia reference when I was fact checking. thanks for the "rest of the story"
I have a clip of Lynn explaining Hinge action and the distance the clubhead travels for each one along with left hand position as it is positioned to the plane. A real Eye opener- it is not for the faint of heart or those that lack sufficent heat in their incubator or the time to hatch it. I asked Lynn to do this one after a class and was not what he presented to the Barclay TGM virgins. I'm left to work on that one in Final Cut Pro and need a hour or so to cook it.
*** You will see how sweet angled hinging/hitting can be and that the hands still swivel and roll, that it is NOT merely a straighten of the right arm hinge motion.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. At the end of the day, all we can do with the incubator is incubate!

I lost control of some quality trying to get this out. I will re-work it for our gallery later.
i shot it vertical (duh) and needed to rotate it to make a QT file. It still works- the lesson here was not taught to Barclay clients as is but covered. This will take time to incubate. I hope this clears misconceptions of Hinge actions and why it is Rhythm.

Thanks, Mike. This video demonstrates one of the most confusing and misunderstood aspect of TGM -- the Hinge Actions. It was done totally 'off the cuff' at your request to amplify a point I had made in an earlier clinic.
BTW, the applause you hear in several places on the video has not been 'dubbed'. The 18th greeen at Ridgewood and play at The Barclays championship was only about 100 yards from where we were filming.
