3Jack,

BTW, not that what I think matters, but since you started with Ted your swing has become majorly more solid and looks fantastic. I also really enjoy watching you learn all about TGM. I wouldn't miss a morning of your Blog... Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing what you are learning with us!

Thanks for kind words. My swing is slowly coming along, which I'll take considering I came off an 8 year layoff from the game. I got back into the game in January and played to a 4.3 handicap. I got with Ted in February and I'm down to a 1.0.

When I played at Coastal Carolina I worked with a GSED that had me using a swinging pattern. I find hitting much more consistent. I actually tried to read TGM back in college, but only understood about 4 pages of it. Now I'd say I *understand* about 80% of it and while I'm using a hitting pattern, for me just being able to know the different components that other patterns can or may use has helped because it clears up the fog. No more of the 'well, so and so does this in his swing and it works but I do this instead...maybe I should try what he's doing.'

Talk about an exercise in futility.
