[quote=innercityteacher;86249]LIke many of you, I am benefitting from Lynn's presentation of TGM and harder fairways. On a par 71, my last 4 rounds:

48,46
41,39
53,42
42,43

My driver started to roll out more than 270 yards and my start down waggles have been huge. When this clicked for my swing, I suddenly found myself under mature trees and out of fairways. I started being more selective with my driver use and my 53 shrunk to a 42.

A flat left wrist with a correct grip, standard address, mid -body hands, and the left-right-left of the MacDonald drills are components. Balance and start-down waggles followed by balance are other essentials.

I practice putts and putting chips with alignment rods.


Putting this stuff to good use is such a dream come true, eh City? Who ever woulda thunk guys like us would be hitting through the fairway and over the green. Never in my life have I ever hit it too far. Geesh! I even use the 4-wood (ditched the 3 wd.) and hybrids off the tee on tight holes.

On another note, Tuesday I watched a little of Kev Carter giving a lesson to the 20 yr. old son of a friend of mine. In a few minutes the kid was hitting laser like wedges and 8 irons.
I saw the dad at the golf course Thursday and he said the kid still hasn't wiped the smile off his face. He ran home, grabbed his dad and took him to the range to show him.
Nice stuff K.C.
