Great to meet you Paul, you could also have buried a shaggy dog under that divot!:salut:

Ahhhh.......the 'Kinniston' divot....:golf: :eyes:
Remember Low Point is not 15 miles behind the ball :naughty:
It was great meeting ya'all alls. Currently standing at Atlanta Airport and I have lost Burner somewhere at Customs...oh well :D
Thanks to everyone for a great week and it was a great experience. Will write more when I get back to cotland.
BJ....remember 'that's not right' and you have to apply some 'hore-zontal hinging' :D
Alex

Yeah, you two cracked me up with that! I see you are using the proper middle english spelling for the hinge action we speak of :)

Ted,
Further evidence that you are one sick puppy!:eyes: Another example of the importance for all parents that post or read this forum to have your kids use protective headgear when riding a bike or skateboard!!

only 250 yards
 

I've been having some problems using this reverse pivot. I can only hit a driver 250 yards. :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think a reverse pivot requires a reverse accumulator action on an eliptical plane while maintaining anti-centrifugal force. That should get at least 30 extra yards.

I'm not as smart as Yoda, but I did stop by the Holiday Inn Express and ask for directions:scratch:

Drew???
 

Did anyone tell Drew that the weekend is over, or did someone leave him unsupervised at the driving range.
I am sure we will hear from DREWITGOLF since the Redsox are almost "Down and Out".....:crybaby:

There I fixed it for you....with all that wind helping you on that shot it should have flown 350 easily :D
Alex

I am still digesting it all. It was a great four days at a five star resort, lots of education, laughs, drinks and I met many passionate "Machine-Heads". I will post more when I get a chance. Right now I am battling lack of sleep from watching late ALCS games, unlike SwingNS. BTW, we were down 3-0 in 2004 ALCS and came back to win four in a row, before winning the World Series, against...what team was that that suffered the worse collapse in baseball history???

I hope everyone made it home safely!

Cuscowilla 2008
 

Hi all Y'all,
Wonderful venue, fantastic Teachers sharing knowledge that is soundly based in fact, great bunch of guys to spend time with. It was a blast!:golf:
Interesting, statistically speaking, that in a bunch of guys some thirty strong, not forgetting Melissa, there has to be an a**hole.

I did not meet him. :confused1

Go figure! :think: :redface:

:laughing1 :laughing9

uh...pops, i was about 12 hours away from being that a**hole....lol

i almost made it there to see you and Alex..so close.:wall: :wall: :wall:

Next time Son. :salut:

The only person in the world -from Barnsley -with a southern accent!
Brilliant!:laughing1

the rest of the story
 

Did you enjoy the additional golf on Mon. & Tues.?

It was good!! Jeff kindly let us loose on his course (Uni of Georgia) on the Monday and we played a final round at Cuscowilla on the Tuesday before heading to the airport (still can't play that 14th hole right!!!) but we did find Neil's Squirrel sized divot on the 9th :laughing1
Alex

And of good Mining stock also. But, nothing underground in South Yorkshire beats the depth of that bloody divot!:eyes: :laughing9

Didn't know that Potholing was your other passion.:grin:

Some Squirrel! A Jurassic throwback if ever there was one.:shock:

Thanks Jeff, and everyone else who made our time in CW so very memorable.:salut:

The WebMeister Hits the Stick!
 

We've got a ton of photos and swing videos coming in the next few days. Only time is our constraint!

For now . . .

Take a look at LBG site admin Bambam's action (courtesy of golfguru).

Son of Barney Rubble
 

Ben is a very nice, quiet guy. But, he hit balls behind me on the practice range at Cuscowilla. The sound of his compression, however, is not so quiet :salut: .

The Casio is having a nervous breakdown having been in its case for 2 days now on its way home. Next time with a wind mic we might be able to record some of the goings on without it sounding like the gale in Teds pants:)

The stop off in San Fran was fun with a mini workshop held at Senoma Golf Club with John Erickson who hosted me - one of Ben Doyle and Mac O's tour pro's in the late 80s and 90s. We played Mare Island with 1935 Bobby Jones irons and these weird wooden things called woods:golf: If anyone is interested in playing tournaments with old gear I can put you in touch with him.

Good to be home but still coming down from the high.

Extension.
 

Just watching Lynn move was enough cure my swing faults.

The professionalism of this team quite shocked me. They changed my life. I thank them very much.

chance of a lifetime
 

We were honored to have both the Pauls. It was our treat to spend so much time with you. Next time, I'm coming your way. :)

Flights are cheap, as we speak.

Thanks :) Good thing you were behind me and not out to the right when I was working on the RFP! I felt like Tin Cup on the US Open practice range. lol


For those who missed it, Jeff showed us that drill on Friday. Put a stick in the ground right on your plane line and try to hit it, or go right of left of it if you're fighting pulls/pushes. When Jeff showed us the drill, he hit the stick his first 6 times!! These guys are good.

Paul the Pinseeker
 

Paul Hart is one of Australia's most respected teaching talents. To read his words of commendation regarding our LBG team is both gratifying and humbling. Thanks, Paul!

:salut:

P.S. Our Homecoming Classic featured a Closest To the Pin contest on the four par threes. Paul won two of them!

:golf:

Where was Bucket?
 

So what happened Bucket[bouquet} ?
I go all that way in anticipation of a weekend of Mike o,Darryl and the great chicken eater and -not one of you shows up.
You missed a little bit of fun, some serious education and GREAT PEOPLE:sad2:

Paul was embarrassed when I refered to him as a Legend.So in the true spirit of Aussies/Poms,I changed that reference to Leg-end,he was happy with that!
What a guy,and what a swing.
Paul don't forget, if you send an insulting reply ,my Brother lives in Sydney!:eyes:
It was an honour to meet you Paul.

While the iron is hot
 

Lynn,

It might be time to plan a class reunion!

Animal House
 

Need a little more time here, Drew. The entire staff remains in recovery!

&B

recovery time
 

Some of us need recovery from lack of sleep.

Others, and I'm not going to mention Neil's name, need recovery from alcohol poisoning. The accent became so thick as the night progressed that the guys from the U.K. had a little trouble understanding.

Those of us from the States just had to laugh when everyone else did. :eyes:

Oh yea I remember that......there was Burner, me, Jeff and you in a line on the range. Jeff hit the pin in his first 6 shots and then found it boring hitting the pin with his 7 iron and then proceeded doing the same with his driver!!! Burner hit the pin about 3 or 4 times...Bam Bam hit if a few times and I am managed to get one in about 50 shots :sad2:
I was Tin Cupping it all week on the range whilst I was working on things. Like Lynn said on the Thursday its like drinking from a firehose..there were so many ideas and things to do on the range that my poor brain could not take it all in at once but again the Guided Struggle has become easier.
Again thanks to all the guys (and gal) for making it such a great week. It was great to meet you (especially our resident Aussies 'The Dart' and Smithy) all and have a great time with this game called golf.
Alex

Ha ha ha!! That will be right...especially with the hours that Yoda, Ted and Jeff put in during the school and afterwards.
Oh yea on another note did anything think that Neil sounded and sort of looked like a younger Tom Wilkinson (Batman Begins, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) ??
Alex

H8D to miss it man . . . . issues . . . . issues . . .

Neil,
Trust me the man has issues! :golfing_banana:

P.S. BamBam's PM folder is full and he's asked me to ask all forum members to temporarily stop PM'ing him - Thank you.

Is that a prophylactic device swinging a 3 iron or something? Should you be posting that in the e"L"ection thread you botched?

It's a Natural Golf Swing - see how the right heel stays down even after impact! A 6 foot prophylactic - now you really are dreaming!

Bouquet Head,
I thought Botchulism was what caused your problems? Don't try to change the subject - we're talking about your issues!

Now give me a break! I seem to remember that I was doing my best "TYLDESLEY" accent.
Tyldesley ,for those of you who don't know is a small town about 10 miles outside Manchester[my town] -and even I need a translator when I go there.
Now all y'all leave me alone!:martini: :occasion: :occasion: :occasion:

Not seen either of them Alex so that better be a compliment:)

This is true, but all the PM's seem to be coming from the same IP address...

Southern Nights
 

Despite his English ancestry, let the record show that, at Cuscowilla, Neil mastered the plural form of y'all.

Well done, Neil!

=D>

Seeing as no one else has asked yet, what are the hopes/plans of holding a similar event in 2009?

:eyes:
