Dodger, if someone expressed sarcasm about your golfing skills after I saw your skills in person, I'd disagree with them to their face. I spent four days seeing Mr. Blake's tremendous skill and passion teaching and doing brilliant golf insight. And the line admiring Mr. Blake and seeking his insight stretches outside the beautiful Cuscowilla resort to uhmm, around the world.

So, here comes DG expressing "surprise" that Lynn's sight is somehow lacking in friendliness to golfers or insight into the machine. Really?

And btw, Mr. Tomasello's tapes seem instructive to me and he seems like a very approachable and knowledgeable instructor based on his tapes. If I had known him personally, and if I heard a person insult his friendliness or skill or intellectual curiosity about golf, I would say something in his defense. Why should naysayers get a free pass?

My point remains the same. Technique questions or machine questions are fine imo. "Why does Nick Faldo advocate keeping a flat right foot in hitting a certain type of 9 iron shot," for example, is a legitimate question. "Why does Nick Faldo not understand the really useful golfing technique advocated by the genius Mr. Smith," is just trying to spit on a person while supposedly speaking to them.

Dodger, btw, good luck on your club championship and other endeavors. You seem to have great skills!
