Encouraging to hear. Thx
Here it is 80 degrees warmer than at home (75, -5). Feels better on the range.

Thx Bernt. I working on it here. It helps a little with more than the one attempt in the cold ...

Thanksgiving has no tradition here. I was a teacher as well.. I don't know what disc golf is, but I threw some discus and javelin in my time.

I don't think a plastic ball will kill anyone.

No wonder you did well with the club throwing, Air!

I participated a general training course as a teenager. I think it added up to 4 weeks full time so it was quite a lot to take in. One of our teachers had been a national team coach in discus and shot put. He taught us about something he called "central motion". When I started to play golf in 1989 and the pro told us about the golf stroke, the central motion came back to my mind. It was basically the same.

I think a lot of the fundamentals for discus and javelin is very relevant to getting a feel for what the pivot should do in the golf stroke. The rotation, the footwork, the sequencing of feet, hips, shoulders then arms. The "keeping the lag pressure on" until the ball / javel, discus or whatever has been launched.

One perhaps important difference is that the swing center is lower in your spine when you play golf, since the ball is on the ground.

Unfortunately I hadn't the world's best technique in the throwing events either - I used too much arm power and didn't get the most out of the rest of the body. I also started with golf in 1989, but unfortunately I already was 41 years old, but it's (almost) never too late...

Today I played 18 holes on a par 73 6600 y course. A bit rusty - not my best, but some of the drives were ok and I tried out the new putting style without too many problems. Have to stop..

On my way home
 

to the dark and cold again...

Back home
 

I'll have to try to get back to normal again - what ever that means...

To find the right "method"
 

All though I have been here over 4 months, I have to confess that I still don't understand TGM and how to use it. I have read that TGM isn't a method, but since I have had lessons from Yoda, I of course listen to his advice and use this information as a "method" - that suits me (in order to get a better swing and get rid of my many mistakes).

I think I have read that using an AI is the best way to learn what TGM has to offer. The AI uses TGM in a way that the student may have difficulties to do on his own. That's ok by me. I'm more interested in what works for me than to know how this fits in the whole TGM picture. And since I am so lucky to get this information from Yoda himself - first in October and once more in March - I think and hope that that's enough for me to concentrate on the information from this instruction - and use it as the "method" I should deal with - and more or less "forget" what TGM is all about as a whole.

But if anyone wants to convince me that I should do this in a different way, I'm willing to listen to sound advice on how to use TGM - in addition to Yoda's "method" in my case. Can anyone understand my problems with TGM and how to deal with it?
