You were a big time "book" guy for a while right?

What happened in your experience to change from "nose in book" to "head in game?"

I absolutely LOVE the Machine and I think it has helped me tremendously . . . however I think there is a REASON that some people get it without the book . . . I think that REASON (or whatever it is . . . instincts) is innate in all of us. Some people just LEARN golf more effectively or quicker or something.

There are WAY WAY more people that don't have clue about this stuff that can flat play golf than those that know the book and can actually DO IT.

There are many that succeed in the game INSPITE OF INFERIOR INSTRUCTION than what we have with TGM.

The riddle is WHY IS THAT? What is going on in those peoples' LEARNING process? How do we better access our innate ability to LEARN precise movements required to effectively control the distance and direction of a golf ball?

Ahhhh, the difference between knowing and doing.

Ideally you must develop a near daily program that enables to train to the best of your ability. One thing I don't think people do in golf enough is equate the game to a sport. Its a sport that includes fitness and flexability, rigourous training routines tailored around the specific individual.

It doesn't matter what you know - its how you apply it!

Good golfers generally just experiment and pick up things they know help usually under the guidance of the teacher but they are out there actually practicing and eventually they will get a very good level of play. No one ever got better just by reading a book - even if it is as great as The Golfing machine®.
