The good news:

Elbow controlled putting works, even on topped-dress greens with sand 1" deep. (I hit six putts in the hole hard enough for them to jump out of the middle or lip out and go far, far away.) Adjusted by holding the end of the grip and metal. The line was great (subtract four strokes for too much power.)

Hitting is very dependable as long as I play the ball forward of the middle. I was bombing my driver straight and long until I broke the handle while thrusting my right arm. Ball shot out under trees and took an 8. (Easiest hole on the course a par 4 and worst I've ever taken was a 5, subtract three strokes.)

Imagining a straight line through the ball to the was very helpful.

The bad news:

I pushed about a dozen wood and iron shots about 5-10 degrees off-line. Solved the problem with placing the ball more forward in my stance and fully extending. I was afraid I would run out of arm but then I remembered the plane goes below the ground and I just needed solid contact and full extension along the line and trust that I would automatically step forward to aid extension.

I realy need to give myself more margin for error in playing shots under trees. I made several nice punch shots that would just clip the skinniest branck and deflect wildly! (Resulted in an 8 and 6 on two holes where a 6 and 5 are customary. Subtract 3 strokes for learning a lesson!)

Yes it was a 93. Someday soon, it could be an 83!

You would be THE dream student. Learning TGM and not afraid to experiment with different ideas and components. IMO, that's what is so special about Homer Kelley's work, and what makes G.O.L.F. so fun.

No right, wrong, or best. HAVE FUN!
