Did you order the dude's first 3 chapters? I sent him an e-mail. Should be an interesting read. Wonder what his story is?

Yeah I did, I bet I'll end up buying the book unless it's really expensive.

If it sounds too good to be true...
Let us know if you find any new truths. In the mean time, the archives here are plenty rich but the digging takes a little effort.

I don't know how much poking around you have done (if any) but the website is by no means instructional, it is about "advice" to improving dramatically. All that setting goals, practice your short game type stuff. I've found TGM, I'm certainly not looking for swing secrets anymore. I wouldn't be posting a "competitor's" link on this website as I have far too much respect for all the work everyone has done.
I've done my fair share of digging, and will continue

Matt,
I didn't explore the site at all. All I saw was a home page dedicated to taking a 30 Hcp to scratch within a year. Hard to believe at face value, let alone that it can be done with just 'advice'.
Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'm a little hypersensitive about off-site instructional links. Hope it turns out to be good stuff.

Simmer down Belle Star . . . don't get your thong up yonder too tight . . . nobody in this pack is planning a mutiny or nothing. We know where the straight up truth about mechanics is and now even how to play. But we still got a lot of work to do on the most effective way to learn. Anybody that can make a claim to such a feat . . . we need to at least see what it's all about.
Stop sounding like a woman.
And NO Oberdinkleberry . . . you CAN'T see my 6-shooter.

Poulter
Ian Poulter is on "Playing Lessons with the Pros." He communicates very well. Highly recommended. Hoch did a nice job on his show as well. They give good insight into how they work their way around the course.
My favorite quote from IP (not on the show), "Why would I pay a sports psychologist to tell me how good I am when I already know?"

They have Annika coming up Wednesday night . . . that should be an interesting one too. If I wore all that orange stuff like IP . . . I'd be like the GREAT PUNKIN'.
