Well haven't been in here for a while....guess I have posting to do....sigh....

I wasn't sure. At first I assumed you were sarcastically mouthing an "Italian Scallionism," since the Bird Man has been bowing low at Spaghetti Boy's alter lately and I was chiming in my $.02. When Birdie responded to me, I went back and reread your post and thought, "well, gee, maybe this dude was being sincere."

Well, I thought better of it all and apologized for the sake of civility (and, BTW, Homer said it, too).

Ya he was poking fun at me and maybe Brian...(not a big deal tho)...

...

BTW "bowing down"???

Gimme a break....that's really really low. I actually did think u seemed like a good dude after you apologized for that comment there. Dunno where that "bowing down" junk came from.....I'm not like that at all I think FOR MYSELF.

There's not many things that I take more seriously than that BTW.

I will leave you with the following, though...
IMHO, "whatever works," no matter who says it smacks a bit of being a quick fix, or a bandaid to me, no matter who says it.

No way in....heck. It's beautifully simple. Too simple for some ppl I guess. Tell me please how there is a better benchmark than results...

And it doesn't mean u disregard principle or lower your standards either. (although if you have one ideal in mind anything but that would prolly seem like lowering your standards) If that's what you think then you don't understand IMO.

All it means is exactly what the "spaghetti man" says: "Let the Imperatives (how well you hit the ball) dictate the Components."

Not the other way around.

Yesyes.

Manga manga! (tee hee hee)

Throughout my whole experience with her, she was patient, and we both stayed the course, sticking to fundamentals. No "whatever works" or quick fix bandaids.

You see, you just don't understand what a bandaid really is. (no you don't)

And you don't fully grasp what "whatever works best" (for that person) means either.

It's not just some sloppy, defocused "Oh, well I'll just do whatever."

I can remember that she had a cupped wrist in her own backswing, but when I asked her if it needed to be flat at the top, she said she didn't give a damn as long as the hands led the club into ball, otherwise you'd be scooping the ball.

THAT IS A "WHATEVER WORKS."

lol....too easy.

"as long as the hands led the club into the ball"...

Translation: "The ball only knows what the club is doing."

i.e. 3 Imparatives. (however you can do em best, time after time after time)

I mean....now that I think about it u'd think u'd appreciate that I'm a guy who says "whatever works"....I could just as easily be trying to completely shoot down "tripod" and Stationary Head....but that's not what I'm all about.

There's room for all kinds of differences in this game...based on....

"WHATEVER WORKS." (damn right)

Well, I ramble... but anyway, what's optimum? A solid foundation, not "whatever works." It probably won't work tomorrow.

U don't understand in the slightest. (what I'm all about)

Anyway, I leave you now. I was gonna tell a booger joke, but Birdie beat me to it.

Yes I guess you were the only one who didn't realize I was trying to lighten up the situation. (for your sake)

I even used an emoticon for God's sake....

Smiley emoticons usually mean "warm and fuzzy" u know....

I guess booger jokes aren't very civil??
