I have got to sort of disagree with Daryl's earlier sentiments. I worked with a GSED about 10 years ago. We worked on a 'swinging' pattern. I really wanted to learn TGM, but he was pretty reluctant to teach me the nuts and bolts of TGM in fear of making things too complicated for me. I did learn a lot from him and my game improved because of it.

Fast forward to February. I had just gotten back into the game after an 8 year layoff in January and I went to see Luke over at the swamp. I made it clear to him that I planned on learning TGM and I would appreciate it if he would help me with things I didn't understand.

My brain and my personality is the such that I really need to know the technical stuff and what other people are doing. Otherwise, when I start to struggle I start to contemplate what other golfers do differently from me and that may not be a correct component to my golf swing. But, I'll try to make it a component of my golf swing.

I will say that I believe most golfers do not have this type of mentality. Just tell them what they need to do for their golf swing and if the info is pretty good, they are good to go with a bit of hard work and practice. Just as there is no one way to swing a golf club, there is no one way to learn about the golf swing and improve one's game, IMO.

And at the very least, I don't think it's a detriment to a golfer if they learn some of the basics of The Golfing Machine.
