O.B.Left;73036]Yup RFT , "Fanning and Bending", "Walrus and Indian", its in Alignment Golf 1 as "the Indian chiefs HOW" or something similar. "Right Forearm PIckup".

Before diving in to this, let me apologize for using a really strong word carelessly, in describing some people's support of their hockey teams. I poorly chose to use the word "stupid" saying more about my temperment and lack of sleep then I should have. It was wrong and I apologize to the very nice people who have been so generous with their time in snswering all my "stupid" questions.


I remember listening to the radio with my dad when the Hawks won in 1961. I was almost 4 and I remember being so happy. After the
'69 Cubs and countless Hawks teams, I learned to appreciate my adopted home of Philadelphia excepting the Bears and Bulls who both won championships on days of the birth of my children.

Go to Top (not End) , return your Shoulders to their Address position without allowing the Hands to drop................look at where the Hands are in relation to where they were at Address. You have isolated the Hand's travel. It isnt as big as you might think. Its a little Right Forearm Fanning and a little Bending Up, in some combination or other. It could be Fanning and then Bending or it could be both at the same time.........up to you and your Plane Angle , Plane Shifting "needs".

I communicate with little people all day and I'm pretty effective. What is amazing to me is how effectively you all communicate to me using the almost exactly the same language as John Savage my GSEB who has mentioned how Ben Doyle has influenced him so greatly.

Its this maintenance of the Hands to the desired Plane Angle via a RFT and Tracing that separates a pure Shoulder Turn Takeaway (where the Hands follow along to where the Pivot directs them, always under plane), "Pivot to Hands" from "Hands to Pivot".

My GSEB has worked hard to get me to turn back with the RFT and/or the slight move of the sternum or tracing the baseline of the plane to keep the primary lever more in front of my body. A pure shoulder turn makes me get lost coming back down and invites many silly compensations sapping energy and distance.

You can start your Shoulders turning and RFT at the same time in Startup, if you wish ( I dont personally) and still be Hands to Pivot! If you're on plane , you're good! Its not "Hands then Pivot" its "Hands controlled Pivot" or "Hands to Pivot

If I don't start from impact fix with shoulders leading RFT, I'll shoot a 98 as I proved on Saturday.

Me personally I feel like my Right Hip turns back then I RFT with my Right Elbow bending right off the get go, Fanning, Tracing etc. Not so much a feel of my Shoulders turning ......that gets me into my old , rock the two straight arms takeaway.......a geometric disaster, Angled Hinging, outside the plane, #2 Angle blocker, no Magic. NO RIGHT ARM BENDING! Now, I feel like my Right Arm pulls my string like Left Arm which tugs my left shoulder around........maybe its just a feel. I dunno. I really suffered with that Push the Triangle away with two stiff arms thing.

Bending the Right Elbow was the second thing Yoda taught me, right after we got the Right Forearm on plane at Address. It was about lunch time on our first day and he said "You know , we could stop right now and you'd probably achieve your goals in golf with just these things". Brain Gay says much the same thing in his Premium Video on this site. Its a must see actually for anyone interested in TGM. Brilliant and affordable. An hour or so filled with insights of all kinds.

I was so distraught after shooting a 98 on Sat. and watching the Hawks inexplicably doing something right in the series that I decided to use my hips as my GSEB has instructed and forget my fear of losing balance

Swinging with horiz. hinge drives and angle hinge approaches, I took lots of money from my peeps at the course and herd "20 hcp. my ass" all day. I got so greedy with a little success that I started hunting pins. Vertical hinges cost me 4 strokes and really aggressive draws cost me 3 more. Greedy putts, longer than Lake Shore Drive, cost me the other 7 for 14 over.

PAR IS OUR FRIEND!

If the Wild, North Stars, Hawks and Leafs had coaches as effective as Kevin, Jerry, Daryl and OB, they'd be playing hockey right now and not hunting for a certified GSEB, GSEM, or GSED as they should be doing
