Good to see you my brother...I am sure you became one of the golfing machine. But poor me, during the past year, home moving, son's interview for primary school, only a few rounds for the whole year!

I feel your pain Bro. I haven't played much the past couple years either, but keep learning and enjoying. Maybe this will be the year we both make our come backs playing. Whatever we do, you have always been a HUGE part of this journey for me, thanks Mate!

Lynn, during the end o the summit you were talking about the sawing motion of your right arm. I haven't heard you talk about this motion before. Could you let us in on what you were talking about? How is learning to saw a straight line as useful as learning to hammer? Are you referring to te magic of the right forearm and tracing?

Thanks.

Oh are you going to post the whole session of your presentation up?

Nathan,

My close was an analogy: "Be a craftsman". It had nothing to do with the golf swing. Only with doing a job and doing it right.

Master the fundamentals:

Learn to "saw a clean line".

Learn to "hammer the nail straight".

Later, when you have the skills, bevel the edges and add finials. For today, be content to build a sturdy piece of furniture that will serve its purpose and stand the test of time. Get fancy later.

Be proud of the skills you have -- however minimal they may be -- and deliver each job to the best of your abilities and as a professional. Don't chase the fad and fashion of the day and bandy about terms that you barely understand just to be perceived as an "expert". Instead, diligently pursue new skills that will add even more value to your work.

Be authentic.

True to yourself . . .

And to your students.

Lynn, thank you very much!! As with many I think we are ver blessed that you returned to teaching. You have certainly helped me.

I'm glad I don't have to saw during my swing.

I need a list with sections and alignments, has anyone made one and posted it?

All this can be found in The Golfing Machine.

The essential alignments of the Body, Arms, and Hands, together with photographic illustrations, can be found in Chapter 9. The Wrist Condition alignments can be found in Chapters 4 and 5. For Power Package alignments, see Chapter 6. The essential explanations and alignments of the 24 Fundamentals and their 144 Variations are found in Chapters 7 and 10.

With the above information assimilated, an essential Drill Checklist for real-time monitoring (exclusive of Pivot Components) in each of the Twelve Sections of the Stroke, can be found in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3).

The information is there.

It awaits only your arrival and purposeful pursuit of Golfing Perfection.
