Thanks Kevin. I know Dodger is a golfing beast and he gives good advice! I have to really have Lynn's videos on to get the correct positions over and over. I know he gave me a gift as did Daryl and so many others here.

I have a full length mirror in my spiffy bachelor pad and an impact bag, my clubs and the sorted laundry bins (whites and colors) . That is my only furniture in the living room (LOL!). It has been too cold for yard sales yet, and I am furiously saving my ruples for "the big dance" at Cuscowilla and the epic journey to Minneapolis and Madison and Hershey.

So, anyway, I practice everything, well almost everything , in front of the mirror. It actually reminds me of your Batcave at the luxurious Green Haven.

I set up my laptop and watch the videos and practice in the mirror. I am very,very happy.

I can't figure out why I am so happy, but trust me. I am really feeling great. It might be the "Cuscowilla Borealis," although there is this young lady....ha!

You would think in Philly you could find something that fell off the back of a truck, as my college roomate Kenny "the stick" Igliozzi used to say. In seriousness Patrick I am beginning to look at Tiger's swing the same way. Where is the wobble and why? At finish we have a position we try to swing to, a destination. How do we get there efficiently? If we want to use an angled hinge action and head left after impact, would a backswing that is below the turned shoulder plane get there? or maybe a turning shoulder plane would be better? Think of David Toms. The magic of Kevin's lesson to me was eliminating the position consciousness and focusing on the destination. When I got there, I was on plane, hinged perfectly and the ball did what I wanted. This is why a teacher well versed in the golfing machine is necessary. It is like one of those chinese buffets where you go thru a line and tell the guy what you want in the stir fry. It can end up tasting like crap because you are deciding what to put in. Have the chef do it and it tastes great. The components of the golfing machine need to be put together by someone well versed in the book. It is easy to get attracted to a certain plane or hinge and not have the other components necessary to make it work. That is why Kevin had me start at the end.
