Hah, your spelling is improving! What next "The Bears"?

Your right I was waxing it on a little hard there maybe? For grade 7's anyways......but I did show my daughter how to chip just that way when she was about 8 years old. She was making nice little frozen right hand chips with some cut down clubs and was all smiles.

But grade 7's? That her grade now. Thats a tuff one. City, Im thinking you need to let em have fun! That is job one! Just let em go , let em rip it and hard. Maybe think about some music for them to hit by! Get every one to laugh at how frustratingly stupid the game is.

"OK everyone stand on one leg now".

Those who are the addicted to compression types will reveal themselves, invariably. Then you can start to teach them, not before!

Maybe ask them what the secret to golf is? Who knows, you might be surprised by their answers?

Actually as I think about it, job one is really making sure no one gets a club in the teeth! Im always freaked when my kids start swinging clubs in the back yard and running around. Those things can hurt ya.

Good advice Boogerhead. Finally.:laughing9

Maybe you should work in Day-Care. :naughty:

I feel like Im in one right now actually! I think I just barfed up my milk!

OB, I'm sure you have a nice family.
 

All of you are very lucky to have each other. Jerry and Kevin, I'm sure you grind on giving the best possible instruction to your peeps. :thumright

I'm not sure what Daryl does for a living. For all we know, he could be an IRS or State Dept. wonk who surfs the net for nasty things but hides it behind our LBG website. He publishes those remarkably insightful articles of his to hide his terrible secret: He needs a date and has been booted by EHARMONY. Who knows? :dontknow: :laughing1

Daryl might also be an "idiot-savant" and 15 years old.:rolleyes: That would explain his great golf knowledge, or at least, research skills, and terms like "boogerhead."

I'm going to start collecting nerf golfballs and wiffle plastic balls for the team. I think I need special provisions for those interested in golf intellectually, but don't play. Maybe a TGM coloring book with lots of pictures of Hogan? :drool:

Daryl has been Happily Married to the same gracious and beautiful woman ( and the best chef in the world) for 30 years. 2 Children through college and out on their own.

I tried to get my wife to play golf years ago, but she couldn't get past all of the clothing and shoes and matching bag. She hasn't played in years but still keeps her shoes and hats in the closet because she's a Golfer. She doesn't understand why everyone doesn't play alternate shot all of the time. I mean, she say's "with Margarita's at Twilight Couples golf, it's unsocial to play by yourself". :laughing9

I work during the day and have studied TGM at night for more than 25 years. Until this website came on-line, I thought I was the only person in the world who read the Little Yellow Book. I was shocked to find out how many concepts I had misinterpreted during the Pre-LBG.Com years. I'm almost caught up.

You guys On-Line are like my extended family. We share the pain, the insights and the glory.

That's very nice, Daryl.
 

Your Mrs. would have to be very gracious, it seems to me, with exceptional inner beauty, at least, for a 30 year tour plus. Do your adult children golf? If so, what was helpful in working with them?

I have family in Chicago, are you near there? BTW, thanks again for so many helpful and timely answers to my questions. I am frankly embarrassed to have the title "senior" attatched to my name on this forum.

Happy Memorial holiday to all! :salut:

All the best,

Pat

Double D, aka "The attack arm of LBG" as he is known on other sites.
 

Nice try D, Im with City, you're IRS arent you? Admit it. Well at least when your not boycotting our good Canadian soft wood lumber and making millions in the process.

Let the record show that I have met, golfed and dined with Daryl at the Atlanta Country Club. I love the man despite all of that. I saw Hip Action, believe me. Got a lesson on it actually at dinner along with Jeff Hull..... who was all ears. But thats another story for another day. Had a hard time waking up the Judge that night. Good times, new friends and a very gracious host, Mr Lynn Blake. Bambam can attest to this.

Viva D. Viva LBG.

Out of many divergent vectors, one resultant Path! It is so in the golf swing , it is so in life and it is so here at LBG.
