Drew,

I will be in attendance and am looking forward to it. I am a Campbell grad and had the dubious honor of being David's 1st Teacher's Assistant (aka "Top Bitch"). I am looking forward to seeing his spectrum presentation as it has been a while since I first saw him present it. I was very pleased when I found out your background (2 AI's at a PGA Seminar!!!). Looking forward to seeing how your present your information. I always enjoy going back to the basics. Always find something new. Unfortunatly, you will not impact everyone there. People are stubborn. This is David's 4th year at Campbell and still can't get everyone to buy into him. It will come though...have to look at the big picture.

Whatever you decide to talk about, I am sure it will go well. Even if you do confuse them a bit, it is better than given them bad information. Some will catch on...those that want to. I think your presentation will go a long way in being a starting point for many. If David had not come to Campbell, I don't think I would have ever picked up the book. Hopefully after attending the seminar, others will begin to search into "The Machine".

I know that I will get a great deal out of it...hope others will as well.

Thanks Darren,


It will be a challenge to provide as much information as I can, given time constraints, but without confusing the heck out of some.

It may not be for everyone, but you never know.

We'll have to have a drink or two afterwards.
BTW, Rob Baxter, also an A.I., will be helping me out as my "Designated Driver" for both Swinging and Hitting.

See You Friday,
Drew

Drew,

Best of luck on Friday. You and BBax have my support and confidence. Wish I could be there. Your knowledge and passion, for the topic, will win the day. Let us all know how your presentation goes.

Hope to see somewhere down the fairway.

Thanks everyone!
Thank you all for your input. The presentation went off as planned on Friday. I gave an introduction to TGM for about two hours (actually had to cut my outline from 10 to 6 pages ), before fellow A.I. and PGA member David Orr, aka "Annikna Skywalker", discussed Swing Spectrums and Stack and Tilt. While some may have been overloaded with all of the information, the presentations served as an example that there is more out there than conventional instruction can provide; objective information that answers all questions.

On an ironic note, I sat with a fellow PGA member, that I had not met before, at lunch before the presentations. He told me the last time he heard a presentation on TGM was Valentine's Day 1983 at a meeting of the Georgia Section of the PGA; the day Homer Kelley died on stage making his final presentation.

Getting the message out
It was a great time had by all. Listening to Drew and watching David demonstrate his "swinging" and "hitting" motion was priceless. The information is addictive. The more I learn the more I want to learn more. Thanks Drew and David.
