What happened in your experience to change from "nose in book" to "head in game?"
I absolutely LOVE the Machine and I think it has helped me tremendously . . . however I think there is a REASON that some people get it without the book . . . I think that REASON (or whatever it is . . . instincts) is innate in all of us. Some people just LEARN golf more effectively or quicker or something.
There are WAY WAY more people that don't have clue about this stuff that can flat play golf than those that know the book and can actually DO IT.
There are many that succeed in the game INSPITE OF INFERIOR INSTRUCTION than what we have with TGM.
The riddle is WHY IS THAT? What is going on in those peoples' LEARNING process? How do we better access our innate ability to LEARN precise movements required to effectively control the distance and direction of a golf ball?
Ahhhh, the difference between knowing and doing.
Ideally you must develop a near daily program that enables to train to the best of your ability. One thing I don't think people do in golf enough is equate the game to a sport. Its a sport that includes fitness and flexability, rigourous training routines tailored around the specific individual.
It doesn't matter what you know - its how you apply it!
Good golfers generally just experiment and pick up things they know help usually under the guidance of the teacher but they are out there actually practicing and eventually they will get a very good level of play. No one ever got better just by reading a book - even if it is as great as The Golfing machine®.

These are excellent good points.
So, is it safe to think that, Any good golfer MUST have the ability to apply Good Common sense and the positive attitude what works and what don't work for them to get in the Hole . Regardless the route and journey to learn to play golf?

Heres a quote from Jack Nicklaus - Playing Lessons
Quote:
Build a storehouse of key swing thoughts
Every tour player has a stock of key swing thoughts that he'll draw on as nessesary to keep his game in synch. Generally one will emerge from his mental storehouse during pre-round practice, and he'll stick with it at least for that particular day. Try to build up your own stock of key thoughts and feels, drawing them from your best shot-making periods. Write them down if that's the only way you can remember them. But be disciplined about how many of them you can use on the course. Most people can only concentrate well on one thought at a time.
Also people can't do the same things. If you are fat and out of shape, you might not be able to maintain a stationary head for example, however it is far preferable to physically improve rather than swaying off to the right and saying thats 'your style'. Whatever improves your ability to be consistant. Most people are just too physically out of shape to have a golf stroke that is going to be consistant on the level of the PGA tour guys.
