New to TGM. Need help

[dvdpfstr]

I just recently purchased TGM after becoming frustrated with my golf game over the last year. I have had a handicap between 7 and 10 for a couple of years and felt like I was stuck in one spot as far as golfing goes. Last year I suddenly lost the ability to compress the ball and consequently lost yardage and accuracy. Ultimately this is what led me to TGM. I started working on the basic motion this week and have found it tougher than I thought it would be, don't understand what I am doing, making it more complicated than it needs to be, or just over thinking it... maybe all of the above. I attempted acquired motion tonight at the range and mostly just kept sticking the club in the ground and hitting the ball fat. I have watched all the videos in the gallery and have been reading TGM manual and believe it is starting to make sense to me but I am getting extremely frustrated. I am almost starting to think there is so much information in the yellow book that I am over thinking everything. I am tempted to go back to just swinging the club without thinking about it or taking a break from the game altogether. Any encouragement would be wonderful.
