TGM is not known in India AT ALL. I ventured out on my own on recommendation from Paul Smith to half way around the world to learn what this little yellow book was all about. I did my GSEB and returned with a much clearer understanding and intention as to what I MUST impart to my students. Having taught for only two years till then, I was noticed by an ametuer while I was teaching a student at the Driving range. A day later he asked me if I could help him as things were not happening with his present coach the way he expected to. Said he had reached a brick wall and had tried everything under the sun but wasnt able to move up the ametuer ranking -26 at the time.
One year later we have a No.1 in the guy and when he looks back at the year passed says" What a trip Sir!! What a trip!!
Thats the power of TGM as far as I am concerned. Many others have come in to the swamp here and all are here to stay. The word is spreading here and who knows!! A TGM summit in India????
Anythings possible.

Thanks for sharing this inspirational experience, Vik. Great stuff!
And I like the reference to your own "swamp" in India. It brought a smile to ol' Yoda's face.
I'll be there with you Lynn - sometime. Gotta move ahead. Its been an experience on its own - The Forums. Put your brains in your hands is what I tell them (My students), Works wonders for them and me.

Here we go again. After a TGM student becomes the No.1 golf ametuer in India another one gets second place in the Malaysian Ametuer at 14 under par. Now THATS not too bad going is it. Things are happenning around here people and TGM is coming alive. "I am trying my best Mr. Kelly" Hope you can hear this!!!!

For those who think Vikram got lucky by chancing upon a world beater...think again.
His student Chiragh Kumar was no where near the dominant amateur he is now before he met "Sir". Nuff' said
You had the pleasure of meeting Chiragh when he was in Singapore and rubbed some of your vast TGM knowledge into his mind, body and soul. So you're a part of that acheivement too.
Thanks for the compliment Justin. Now lets go and get some more guys into the fray.
Birdie man Thanks for your kind words for our fraternity.

Congratulations Vikram Is it just my ignorance in the past, or are there a lot more youngsters taking the game up in India?I seem to notice more Indian names in amatuer golf these days-are they about to take over like the Koreans have in the LPGA?.If so,you're going to be busy
It is busy out here and its only getting better. I see only the "tip of the day teachers" around here and its a pity that only some few will ever get the information that they reallyreally need to become better individuals and better players.TGM has cleared the way for me, otherwise I would have been a card in that pack too. Theres so much conflicting information around that it makes me sick at times the way the game is taught. Less said the better. For me?-I just STUCK to the essentials and imperatives, used the component variations to get my students to where they needed to be in their alignments and I have two pretty good performing players and quite a few who are getting there - slowly but steadily. Its been a lot of hard work both sides but thats the only way to go I guess. I have another imperative that I found most useful and that my freinds is how to talk patience into your pupils.
Yes Neil, we have a few guys up there and lots more to come hopefully. Will need every bit of everyones input and encouragement to get there though and by the looks of it I have all the help I need.
Thanks everyone.
