The movie is "100 Rifles" and Lee Westwood is being challenged by Ross Fisher. So far, it's golf! But wait a minute..Racquel Welch has just told Jim Brown "I am your woman for as long as you want," as she pan fries him a steak! Jim Brown hugged her! What an actor!!!!!!


Westwood pars and Jimenez bogies a hole, ugh!

Something about a train with 100 rifles stopping in only one location for water....wait a minute...someone's taking a shower to distract the warlord's troops
....it's not Jim Brown.......who knew trains could be so interesting?

Ooops....Ms. Welch died liberating the Mexican freedom fighters.....and Miguel made a par!

Time to swing the heavy club! " Wedges-Left Anchor 80% -Left Shoulder Spin/Hip Spin-Forza!" (Both feet splayed makes for easier push to the right and to the left and spin.)

Swamp Report
Bagger and I were in the Swamp this past week and had a great time.

I came away with some specific items to work on as follows:

1. Pivot. My old "turn" was to turn my shoulders back and load up my right leg with about 90% of my weight. This was causing me to go inside and sway. My new pivot is to start with more weight on my left side and to let the left knee dip a bit. There is still a good bit of weight on my left side at the top - much more than before. I used to think this was a reverse pivot but Yoda convinced me otherwise. This is going to allow me to get the club in a much better position.

2. Extensor action. I learned to add more extensor action than ever before. This will help keep the club on plane and add more structure to my hit.

3. I really learned how to drive down/out/forward until my right elbow passes my "line of sight".

I think these things are going to make a dramatic difference in my action. The teacher can teach but the student must apply. I'm going to work on the new items a bit and then hopefully I'll be able to post some before/after pictures of my motion.

There is simply no substitute for hands-on TGM instruction, especially if you can get it from the best in the world!

If you get a chance to go to the Swamp or one of the LBG schools - do NOT pass up the opportunity!


My Swamp Report
I can vouch for Trig and I'm going to keep a keen eye on his pivot. It's something I picked up last November from Yoda and will never go back. Ted and Yoda confirmed last week I'm doing it correctly. I heard multiple times, "that looks just like Hogan".

Charlie,

The position as best I can describe it is; At setup you will feel balanced 50/50 between the feet but...you will feel the upper quadriceps in your left leg pushing down on the ground as though you were attempting to level a mound of dirt under your left foot. You will feel "decidedly leftward".
From that position, you should feel like you can launch yourself into a full sprint targetward if you wished. That is your address feel. Think of Ben Hogan and review the video on this site to get the look of it. There is not much perceptable change in weight shift, in fact you can get the feel without a club by taking your address position as described above and simply raising your right hand into an "oath" position, parallel to the plane line about 4 inches behind your squared right shoulder (at address, you are actually taking your right hand to the turned shoulder location). Your left knee will need to flex a bit and your rear-end will rotate targetward to get the right hand there. It's OK to let the right knee straighten but not lock as you turn. (An Option) For many conditioned in pop instruction, this may feel like a reverse pivot but it isn't because your weight isn't shifted to your left foot on the backstroke and right foot on the downstroke. It is quite the opposite.


This is the best golf site in the world for golf instruction!
