I'm now finished here at Cuscowilla and I'm soon on my way home. I know it's a long travel that takes a long time and it's not exactly cheap to stay here and get lessons. It sounds like a complaint, but it's not. If you have the time and money and you want to treat yourself to something special, then do what I just did. You might learn to play better golf too.
Won't be posting anything the next 30 hours I guess.
Safe travels, Air.
You were -- and are -- a marvelous student. Thank you for your dedication and for coming to my lesson tee!
It took you 21 hours to get here:
Bus to Oslo (two hours);
Plane to Newark, NJ (with layover);
Plane to Atlanta, GA;
Private car to Cuscowilla.
But once done . . .
We made it happen, didn't we? A few hours everyday for five days, and we covered the waterfront.
One thing I won't forget:
That little 65-yard knock down you hit on our last day -- first shot and with its character called by me -- in front of the teaching pros at Cuscowilla (and under that pressure!) . . .
Bang!
You hit the red-and-white pole, the "candy cane", dead center on the first hop!
Can't make it up!
Not to mention all the 'cracking' irons and drives you hit -- also with 'gallery' pressure -- with your new alignments. Especially your new grip, shoulder alignment, start up with its coordinated pivot, arms and hands, new Top with its 'structure' and radically different clubshaft alignment, start down waggles putting you in the 'slot', right knee action and wrist roll through impact, and the new 'arrow through the ears' finish.
Amazing.
Nowhere near the 21.5 handicap player swing you had when you arrived!
Then, on the course our last day. Your first drives sailed long and true against the blue October sky. Later, three tee balls over water requiring almost 200-yard carry. Every single one on line and dry!
I am so proud of you, Air.
Bustin' every button.
That's why I called everyone over to take a look. Not to put pressure on you, but to show my fellow teachers just how far one dedicated student could come in such a short time. And you delivered.
