Many thanks for a great weekend bringing TGM concepts into reality. Yoda IS the master, and his continued enthusiasm is only exceeded by his knowledge. Ted you were to really able to help me feel hitting, with simple concise explanations, and make me believe in hitting. I am definitely going to try grow that hitter in me(though I can't quite give up swinging yet). And VJ...man what fun!! A great host...and if Ted is "YodasLuke", VJ ought to be Han Solo...a little irreverant, a little crazy, and a load of fun whenever you get a little bogged down in TGM. He is able to "pilot" any golf swing to improvement. Thanks to all you guys and the rest of the crew at Old Waverly. I'm ready for MORE!
Dave
Doc,
You're a HITTER!!!!!! Just accept it. There are only an elite few, so you should feel privileged.
Having someone with 3 dimensional understanding is always easier. If I see you again and you're swinging, we're going to have words. Thanks for trusting me enough to send you down that road.
If you see Russ again in Franklin, tell him we met. I'll try to reach you when I return to Franklin. Maybe, we can play at the Legends.
wow, that's a weird coincidence. There's a course in Franklin, IN called "The Legends of Indiana".
My game is coming around...well, actually more up and down (I still need to get you some video). In short, my plane is good, hips and on plane r. should are getting better (still working on these), and I'm getting consistent in-to-out divots now. Relapses are getting fewer and further between, but the hips/r. shoulder are most stubborn. Had a great range session yesterday; probly won't play much until I'm more comfortable with the changes. Short game is getting lots more consistent; had my first range polie in quite a while today.
I had a wonderful time with each of you guys....and I hope to leave you with these parting thoughts until our next gathering.
If you practice, then let the ball fall to the way-side and think of your mechanics. Nothing wrong with practicing basic motion and acquired motion on the range instead of hitting full shots. Going slow.....means getting your components in fast.
D.D.- Great understanding of TGM.....monitor when you practice and let it go when you play.
B.S.- Just work on swivel to the end of followthrough and watch the trophies pile up.
T. aussie C.- I will never forget the slipper joke. Keep monitoring your acquired motion and making that NOISE out the bottom.
Castek - Don't ever forget the picture of my swing before and after extensor action.
D.R. - Don't hit!!!!Just kidding. Take ONE Component at a time and work it into dependability.
N.K. - Address routine with an emphasis on "pressing the button" (pg 232) on the course. Off the course, practice.
For the others that are not mentioned, when I see you on the forum I will shoot you a line.
Those of us lucky enough to go to Old Waverly -how good was that little "break"where Ted and V.J.demonstated in and around the bunker -buried balls, crazy lies..and V.J's 'hosel shot'!!Amazing

Neil,
I'm going to try to put up a little video, just for you.
