[12 piece bucket]

Big thanks to all of y'all. I haven't been able to respond appropriately to this thread. But here goes . . . it's a genetic crapshoot so don't expect no Willie Shakespeare . ..

I stumbled across the Machine by chance. Didn't get it like so many others, but I knew it was the best information on golf period. That I did get. So I stumbled and bumbled around with it for about 3 or 4 years leaving it and coming back to it. During a slump I (who have become lengendary at finding ways to not work at work) was doing a search on The Machine . . . and started reading Chuck's forum . . . there was ONE DUDE that had it better than anyone else as far as I could tell . . . so I called that ONE DUDE and he told me to check out another DUDE close to me . . . Eddie Cox . . . and the first G.O.L.F. friendship for me was made. I still knew that even as much as Eddie pulled my game from the grave, I still had to go see the ONE DUDE. And I did just that . . . someday maybe y'all will get to check out my visit to see the ONE DUDE.

I owe a lot to the ONE DUDE. The ONE DUDE has been very very generous to yours truly and for that I am very grateful. I'm proud to call the ONE DUDE friend. And if it weren't for the ONE DUDE I wouldn't be anywhere close to where my understanding is today. But more than understanding and an improved motion, ONE DUDE has given me an outlet for my goofball self and I have made many great friends along the way ONE DUDE included. I spend time with The Machine everyday. I love every minute of it. The ONE DUDE lit the fire and the ONE DUDE has facilitated so many other great friendships.

One day the ONE DUDE will be THE DUDE . . . but for now . . . a very heartfelt thanks to you ONE DUDE.
