Freudian translation? And yes, he could only be a Democrat. Speaking of which, how is Jerry G, my favorite Democrat of all time (non family members category). How is the snow boys?
I'm thinking Martin Hall with the accent and all.

City,
I am currently looking forward to getting together with Kevin on Monday morning. I am so eager, in fact, and I miss the feeling of compression so much that I took two balls outside, shoveled and swept off some snow so I could get a good swing over some bare tundra. Two nicely compressed 6 irons that felt so good that I have awakened my latest addiction--compression. I could be out of balls by January.
You worry me about that gun business. Be careful. I've seen some near misses on the firing range and it can be pretty frightful.
If they want my wedges, they'll have to pry them from my...
I glanced at a couple of the "winning" videos and then briefly looked at Lynn's video. As far as quality of the video production and professional presentation - there is no question who the winner was - Lynn Blake. Quality might not "win" on any particular occasion but in the long run - it wins. If I was recommending buying a stock - I'd issue a strong buy sign.
I saw your video . . . did security REALLY cuff the mule? And where in the world did you get that kangaroo? I didn't know that Victoria's Secret made booty shorts for dudes that had BROWN written across the buttocks instead of PINK . . . nice find . . . or were they homemade? The look the officer gave you right before he pushed your head into the hood of the squad car was priceless . . . I think he really got the "there is no angle of approach to an angle of approach procedure" discussion . . . how many hits did you end up with?
I just watched Martin's 30 minutes from last night. I can see why he's in -- good message but very, very simple. More "do this and it will help" and not so much "and here's why that's the right way." I thought some of the actions would lead to good TGM fundamentals -- like the bungee cord to show the left arm alignment (poor man's Taly?).
Yoda's test video was far more informative in less time, but I'm betting TGC believes that their average viewer can only handle "prime rib and pepperoni pizza" as opposed to deeper discussions about flying wedges and flat left wrists, etc.
I guess I'm just glad to have found Lynn and this place. I'm tired of short term band-aids and changes that I don't understand why they work (even if they do work). I want to understand the wherefore's and the why's -- I want to know the physics and the geometry. I want the satisfaction of knowing why that great swing (or hit!) just happened and that I can repeat it at will!

I suspect most folks here feel the same way...
Out of the finalists Martin Hall is the obvious pick.
Palacios-Jansen's video tip on grip presure was good but I wish she would have made reference to the 5th edition.(6-H-0-A. Avoid unintentional change in Pressure Point Pressure. (7-11))
Wayne Player's dad has nine majors and name recognition, I'm afraid he'll win.
I believe the reason that Lynn was not chosen as a finalist, altough it's possible that The Golf Channel may believe that the average viewer would not understand The Golfing Machine, is that he is so superior to the other contestants it would be too embarassing to "ortodox golf instruction," as a whole, for him to have a regular forum.
But the truth will eventually win out.
