From Can't to Can In Two Hours
Patrick and I had a very good day.



Prior to our individual session, he watched for two hours as I worked with two very talented professional players. That experience resulted in more than a few "Aha!" moments.

Later, when we began our two-hour mano-a-mano, he demonstrated a wonderful understanding of the Basic Motion. Through his time and diligent study on our website, he had mastered the Flat Left Wrist with the Club below his hands. Terrific!

However, he needed a major grip adjustment that would enable all future progress. He made the change immediately and never looked back. That done, we went to work on his Pivot, learning and doing several drills that would forever rid him of his "cement legs and feet" that was inhibiting his natural, athletic motion.

Summarizing, we began with his grip (his connection to the club) and then went immediately to his feet (his connection with the ground).

We progressed rapidly through the short clubs -- turf finally began to fly! -- and ended with his driver. Using the same motion we had been working on from the beginning, he proceeded to nail shot after shot down the length of the range. His swing would have brought a smile to the face of Sam "Oily" Snead.

Proud of you, ICT!

Tomorrow, we build on that progress. Using the same concepts (but with several deliberate 'tweaks'), we'll attack the short game and learn a myriad of scoring shots. This is, after all, in the vernacular of the PGA TOUR pro . . .

Money.



I've got photos and a video I'll post soon in this thread.

Stay tuned!
