See you Sunday.
The shoulder spasms have been very instructive, Jerry. I had to realize that I couldn't shortcut the biomechanical truths about Alignment G.O.L.F. (The recent film really helped but so does the premium films with Ted Fort and Jeff Hull.)

The plane is the thing. The club must go back on plane using EA and RFT. The pivot must permit the club head to come down on plane. That can only happen if the hips get the heck out of the way, the back shoulder comes down on plane, and EA holds the flying wedges and club face on plane. Planting on the front foot brings the power package intact below the waste and the right forearm extends through the Impact Fix startup, intact, compressing the ball along the chosen target line.

Keeping the alignments intact allows for a very slow "pinch" of the ball off the ground holding the ball on course with backspin. I swung within myself hoping to avoid the spasms and taking extra club to shoot to the middle of greens. No moving pieces, except for the pivot, means less chance of spasm city. No pulls, no pushes, just straight shots.

The stroke was so smooth, I only had trouble picking up the tee or breathing after I struck the ball. Getting into the cart was harder than hitting the ball!

Chips and pitches loaded with EA hold their line even if the distance is not quite right.

The elbow putt method is so smooth that the only question is where will the baseline of the putt be aimed and speed.

We are not building a stroke that "peaks" if we get hot. We are building a consistent, intelligent, dependable stroke that doesn't care about the weather or the opponents. It is a bio-mechanically honest and physics-driven stroke that anyone, almost, can do, given the physical tools necessary to work on plane.

My foursome, and most of the guys at my course who play in the daily game, have simply not grasped
If they knew TGM existed, after seeing such a display, many would line up for lessons!
