A Golfer Friendly Version of the Golfing Machine

[Delaware Golf]

For those that embark on the journey toward A.I. status, this is the place to be. I was fortunate enough to have perfect grades in both the extensive written and oral testing as well as the demonstration portion. I don't say this to impress you, but to impress upon you the important of LBG. Everything you need to know is on this forum. I don't say that lightly. After spending so much time here, achieving A.I. status was a piece of cake and you can spend more time at the bar with you fellow A.I.'s in training ...then there is the dues.

If that were true, there wouldn't be a need for a Golf Factory book.

I'm against "Book Burning" but for the "Golf Factory" book, I'll make an exception.

Just read this post and it is disappointing to say the least. What is nice about this site is Lynn is courteous enough not only to allow "competitors" to be mentioned on the site, but also different ideas regarding the Golfing Machine. His gallery includes both Doyle and Tomasello for instance. Homer Kelley is dead. He cannot validate or endorse anything anymore. Doyle, Tomasello, Sloan and Blake all spent time with him, as did other instructors. All have different methods, to say one is right or wrong, which Mr. Blake never does, is simply arrogant and outside the spirit of a book that is designed to open people's minds about the golf swing, not close them. Other sites out there have rabid supporters who attack anyone who disagrees,one hopes this site does not become one. Delaware Golf is a gentleman and devotee of Tomasello's teaching. He has never criticized Lynn Blake's teaching in any post, I reviewed all of them. No one other than Tomasello and Kelley know what they discussed, Homer's taped lessons reflect some thoughts not put in the Golfing Machine explicitly and I assume he was always adapting, as any good scientist. I find some of Tomasello's lessons fascinating, as I do with Blake, Sloan, Evans, Fort and many others. Suggesting Delaware Golf go elsewhere for providing a perspective that we can disagree with or suggesting that some pro who took the time to write an online book about his interpretation of the Golfing Machine have it burned reflects a closemindedness that in no way fits in with the forty year search for truth about golf that Homer Kelley devoted so much of his life to. Those on this post who were harshest have wonderful posts and I learn a lot from them. Civility is a lost quality on the internet, it would be nice if it existed here at least.

DG did not lead this thread with a mechanical concept because he did not want a mechanical discussion. He simply wanted a fight which I gave him so he'd feel some validation of his own animosity. I'll do better next time DG and just let you vent with your lack of grace.

You seem to enjoy the victim role so well. "Those mean LBG people are picking on me," sort of thing.

For your own edification DG, when you lead with an insult you are looking for more of the same.

Lead with a technical concept or technical observation to invite thoughtful discussion.

Civility? Geez, I'm holding back big time. The "Book" has nothing to do with TGM.

Have you bothered to read the On-Line book? It's a "hook". The guy sells Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations and uses the book to draw in customers.

Here's an excerpt:

ANGLED HINGING OF THE LEFT WRIST
The wrist remains Vertical to the ground and square to the target line (the left hand arches away from the left forearm), making an attempt to keep the clubhead moving toward the target. This motion disrupts the natural rotation of the clubhead, opening the clubface, causing a fade.

Are you kidding me? It's this kind of trash that gives all TGM'ers a bad rap.

Wanting to start a fight is ridiculus. I accidently discovered the Golf Factory book per a search for the 1st edition of TGM. I did my due diligence, searched Lynn's sight for any reference to the Golf Factory text, found none. Only expected a debate in regards to the technical validity of the books content, not what followed. Sorry for not including some technical spin on the factory's presentation and analysis. However, I'm actually surprised at the 1st chapter with the presentation of the three essentials instead of a presentation of the three imperatives.

My responses have to be kept short, I'm studying for a professional exam. Maybe I will add more after the exam is complete (6/4).

Lynn is probably very busy teaching simple alignments and making the game of golf fun for unskilled golfers like me and accomplished touring pros like, name a dozen or so.

DG, go teach someone something and you'll get lots of challenges and have fun, interesting adventures of the mind and spirit and a few disagreements too!

Of course, you'd do that if you wanted more than just an argument.

I am at a complete loss as to how DG's post was either an insult to Lynn Blake or an invitation to fight? He indicated some criticism may be forthcoming, nothing else. What am I missing?

I think it's just history. DG tends to be as protective of Mr.Tomasselo as we are of Mr. Blake. Both wonderful ambassadors of TGM, I love it that YODA preserved the Tomassello videos on his site. We all need to quit taking this stuff so personally. I am very guilty myself...
