TGM perfect?

[innercityteacher]

If you read your last sentence it sounds like your doing exactly what your railing against, you should take some of your own advice. I mean were talking about the golfswing as it relates to science, or science as it relates to the golfswing.

Comparing it to some ideology from some crazies is just a bit of a dishonest analogy. You need to have an open mind and then make your own judgement, you could just learn something.

I'm sorry you don't understand what I'm speaking about. As a teacher, I teach up first or try to see who has the most understanding.

The heart of the 12 step movement and my life is seeking help from the HP (higher power) and accepting it. In other words, we all have limitations and only Deity has the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Therefore, if we are all limited, we are all equal and in need of each other and bound, morally, to accept and work with each other. All have dignity and all people have some divine talent or insight. It's my code and I'm sticking with it.

All you read was my last sentence and you made no attempt to follow the context or understand the point. In other words, you are guilty of the mistake you say I am making. You made a "dishonest analogy."

Intrinsic in the claim of "absolute truth" is the fanatic's inferiority complex. Why else would someone discard what is very effective, unless they didn't understand it? Put it this way, "the enemy of the good is the perfect."



* Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien.
o The better is the enemy of the good.
+ La Bégueule (1772)
+ Variant translations:

The perfect is the enemy of the good.
The best is the enemy of the good.
+ Note: This quotation also appears in Italian (Il meglio è l'inimico del bene) in the Questions sur l'Encyclopédie article, "Dramatic Art" (1764)


What I would've enjoyed from that fanatic was a simple invitation based in reality and the necessary humility which would logically flow from a human being. Something like, "TGM is very effective in what it teaches. Technology is improving since TGM has been written. We are having a conference to discuss how new insights might impact some of TGM's observations. Maybe y'all would like to check it out."

"Footwedge," you are a funny person based on your note here. You didn't answer or address my central point: what is truth in any field, including golf and how do you come to it? I guess you felt that a superficial attack would hide your misunderstandings and your failure to comprehend my point.

Are you a politician or lawyer, or perhaps, you work for a politician that plays a lot of golf and wishes to be "flashy," and not really effective? Perhaps you make your living by trading in dishonest analogies and sounding off to obscure what is effective so that you can be noticed?

Here is another basic idea. Technology can be a great thing or a really crappy thing. Technology helped some scientists decide that DDT could poison rats given massive doses and might poison humans. As a result, Africa is ravaged by Malaria. Technology helps lots of dictators control funds given by UN food programs in "hidden" bank accounts so that their people are enslaved with a shortage of food. BLAHBLAHBLAH...who doesn't get this?

Technology has helped make a lot of golf courses obsolete and so, there are new standards for tour wedges, backing away from "improved technology."

You can see the DNA and miss the fact that the person is hungry.

The big picture and the details are both important concepts. Interdependence is better (people who need people... and people who can go it alone when needed...whole people, emotionally) than dependence or independence, imho.

One last point you missed FW, is that I have spent considerable time and effort with BM and LBG. You want me to have an "open mind?" So I can go back to a 28 hcp.? Did I hurt your feelings by indicating my mistrust of BM? Everyone has a belly button and is entitled to their opinions unless you have the "absolute truth," right?

Do you have a golf hcp.? Is there a system that would reduce a 21 hcp. to a single digit hcp. in 6 months that you are aware of and have tried?

My offer to you is the same offer extended to CMS. Post your videos. Let us see your swing and if you would like help, there are many friendly, insightful people here on this site who could help anyone's swing or hit.

And if you are in my area, and spot me my hcp...

Have a happy learning day, FW.

BTW, go Brian Gay! 112 to 12 in one year! That TGM, I guess, is pretty effective stuff!
