City, I think it is very unique that you are acquiring such an understanding of TGM in such a short time. I don't think I am on par with your gains.
I do have to share a big breakthrough today, however. One of the kids on our high school team (11th gr. next year) that I badgered all season long about how high he hit the ball and how he needed to stay under the stratosphere in order to compete with the better players. I just could not get him to buy into forward shaft lean and hands ahead, etc. He thought I was nuts, I think. Today, at our summer golf school he was swinging a 3 wood on the range and It appeared he never had the ball in the same place in his stance two times in a row. It went everywhere on the range including dead right into a 4-some on the 7th hole.
This led to a discussion about swing bottom, ball placement, educated hands, forward leaning shaft, etc.
We started with the SW. Crisp shot after crisp shot ensued. 9 iron the same. 6 iron, easy swing like the SW and it just rocketed toward the target straight over the 150 yd. sign to not far short of the 200. Hybrid was the same. 3 woods were majestic. Drivers had a boring trajectory and had just a hint of a draw. I had tingles. He had the biggest grin.
I hope he can hold on to it until the next time I see him. Heck, I got so excited I tried to call Kevin and let him know what was going on. He knows the kid.
