I think that "Innercityteacher" is the alter-ego of this guy who lives in Cody, Wyoming. His name is Chad Ostopowitz, a Real estate Broker who divorced two years ago from his wife of 3 years, Betty-Anne, a full time teacher at a grade-school in a city nearby. I think the Leg Injury is true, but it stems from a demolition derby he lost 6 years ago. About 18 months ago, he moved from his studio apartment above a liquor store, into a foreclosed (due to the economic crisis) one Bedroom condo on a golf course. His doctor suggested golf as a form of rehabilitation.

From what I can gather, he's doing better and has a girlfriend, Gloria, who waits tables part-time at the Golf-course "Grille" where he teaches "line-Dancing" classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They have recently adopted dog. My sources say it's a Schnauzer named "Bingo".

Some of this is speculation.

When I first started TGM, I had a "Frozen, Bent Right Wrist, and I would sweep or punch the heck out of the ball. I moved onto other parts of the book and sort of well forgot about the FBRW.

I picked up lots of things but EA seemed most important. The three or four times I shot sub 80's was when my EA felt perfect.

I went on to other components and forgot about the FBRW picking up more on EA, instead

In the last three days, my posse here have reminded me of FBRW. Kevin and jerry and I had been talking about LAG and the # 3 PP. I had throwing the # 3 PP to my top and hitting the ball pretty well. Good direction and distance.

However, an old problem arose. Back in the day when I first stared golfing, I wore out Faldo's "Golf: The Winning Way." Once, on two holes, I shot back-to -back birdies! All I had to do was, ready for a laugh: straight - arm my right wrist back, turn my belly, separate my left knee from my right and hold my finish!!!

I couldn't keep al those points in my head and shot an 88!

Fast Forward to two weeks ago, about 15 years later. BRW will lead to RFT and then Pivot and Swing or Hit! Better? A little. I know the whys of all the moves and I understand a lot of the inter-relatedness of the pieces. And, I'm consistently sub 84 at my local course. Better.

But sports fans let's be real. Shooting the odd 77 sucks! It's like getting a lap dance from a bald, 500 lb,, buck-toothed girl from somewhere. You know what I mean!!!

Now, Daryl had told me about thinking too much but I didn't think it could be avoided. He and OB had alternately expressed concern about too much BRW. Daryl had suggested maintaining the left palm moving to the ball during the swing. OB had been very instructive in one-armed BRW drills.

So, coming out of winter hibernation, I've been to the range four days in a row. I have been squeezing the pee-pee out my handles. The problem is your left wrist has cock and un-cock. Daryl's advice was for keeping the left palm moving to the the ball (FLAT LEFT WRIST HOLLA AT YOUR BOYYYYYYY!). Where are the balloons???? It seems to me that keeping a Frozen Bent Right Wrist makes that much easier and it is a very effective move which seems to help keep the Plane intact. Duhhhh, ya think?

And there it was. FBRW/Flat Left Wrist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm going to say this slowly to myself so even I can understand it. IF A GOLFER MONITORS HIS HANDS AND KEEPS HIS FLW/FBRW (WEDGES) INTACT, YOUR ONLY OTHER PROBLEM IS HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? HOLLA!!!!!!!!!


"In closing, I'd like to thank the Academy....."



I hit every club flush. I did the JB Holmes imitation (Pivot up holding frozen Impact Fix and Pivot down like a mother!!!!) I saw it hit the tree line on the fly plus 250 in the air. I mixed swinging and hitting components like crazy. Have you heard about bending the right elbow which cocks the left wrist while the FBRW allows you to Pivot from a trapeze and leave groove marks in the face of the ball? It's heavy and it's simple.
