Although my understanding of the book is still green, the guide from Yoda will be very helpful to my study. My mentor, oztrainee, always asks me questions. What are 3 imperatives, what chapters related to hands….when he challenge me; I will ask him what I memorized already. What is 6-B-3-0-1? Answer me! Yesterday, I watched a golf coach, sort of AGTF, gave a lesson to someone I knew but not too familiar with, the coach said: Take your club back with your left arm; swing slowly; don’t use your hands; use your shoulder, use your hip, you hit it so long… But, as a student of TGM, I knew that none of the impact was pure. No matter how fat he hit, club head slipped through the mat and no adjustment or comment was given. Instead, the coach said: see, listen to what I taught you, you can hit longer than me. The guy also demonstrated a 7 iron stroke. He said: hit the back of the ball first, return to address…and he did that with off-plane 3-F-7-B weak shot! As I am nothing, I mean nothing, I just can’t say a word, I closed my eyes, thinking of Yoda giving lesson to Collin Neeman and recent Hull videos, (also kind of information memorized) I knew how to let my friend to understand 3d impact and what sound shall like just with basic motion. But he won’t get it from that coach. When my friend wanted to took a rest, he handed the club to me, I took a deep breath, I chip a few first…ok, 3d impact sound, I acquired more, #2 and #3, still good, I punched a few, still under control, (the distance is longer than his coach already) I checked all alignments and ready for a total motion, wow, yahoo, they stood up and run close to me to see the landing, a good distance as his coach using a fairway wood. The coach said i used my hands pretty well, I smiled at him and replied: I am training my hands still… My mentor said to me that as an amateur, I can take part in AI program, He said AA. Authorized Amateur? I also want to be authorized too, is that a dream? KOC View Public Profile Send a private message to KOC Find all posts by KOC
