Understand that Bucket is posting from a mental institution - supported by the fact that he has over 4000 posts on this site - and is banned from generally all other golf forum websites. I'd suggest telling him "great ideas!" and then move on - you don't want to see him in your backyard peering through the window - trust me.

Michael . . . . I got your voicemail . . . AND NO . . . you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT mail your underwear with the giant doodee stains in them back because they are defective . . . . remember you tried to do that with the turkey baster you got at the after Thanksgiving sale . . . now just settle down and watch your Gary Coleman videos . . . the nurse will be in with your Flinstones soon.

That was post # 4002 Ladies and Gentlemen and you were there. Might wanta save that to your external hard drive for safe keeping.

You're in a learning phase. Flying Wedges. Power Accumulation, Loading, Storage, Delivery and Release. Hinge Action: So hard to understand, so easy/simple to use. That was a life altering experience for me. :) It took more than 25 years. I know. I'm not the smartest pencil in the box. But WoW. Now 10-2-B makes total sense. The Bent Right Wrist makes total sense.

I study the Book with a Golf Club in hand. Standing with a Dowel, 2 Dowels, Rackets, Ping Pong paddles, Look, Look, Look. "I don't care what you're doing as long as you know why". Plane Boards, Mirrors.

Turn to 7-19. Try everything your reading. Drive it, drag it, Float Load it.

Magic of the Right Forearm....Why does the Left Wrist Cock without cocking your right wrist when your right arm is raised? Try to figure it out.

I think that 50% of your Practice is like this. The other 50% is done at the practice facility.

With this Website and the Book, you should learn everything you want to know in a few months. (ok, maybe 4). You should be scoring in the mid 70's by next Spring.

Great stuff Daryl. I'm going to add your ideas to my winter curriculum as well. :salut:

Thanks,
Kevin

Wow, great replies, I didn't expect this many great suggestions and ideas :).

BerntR I wish I could... Participate I mean. I'm trying, but right now it's mostly me asking questions. I guess that is participating in a way though... :)

12PB, awesome reply. Exactly what I was looking for.
What can I say... just wicked!

Those questions, even though they're probably there for "rhetorical" purposes, I think it's important for me to write the answers down. I might as well do it in this post.

My mission... my mission is, to understand the golf swing. How it works and why.. And in the future be able to explain that to someone else. And that I can't do, before I truly understand, in my humblest opinion.

In the end, I guess this boils down to being a better golfer. I can't do one, without the doing the other. Not saying others can't.. but I can't. I need to understand what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it.

I know I've only played for 1½ season. But, my goal is "simple". Get my HCP down to a low single digit, and be able to play at that HCP consistently. I want to improve, be as good as its possible for me to be. I think that would cover my long term goals.

JerryG I've been considering the Pure ball striker. Since you mention it, I guess you would recommend it? :)

Daryl another great post. As with buckets post, this is one I will go back to and read many times, I'm sure.

I want to take the opportunity to say this. I love your illustrations seen around on the forum. They've helped me tremendously.

Innercityteacher more great ideas! Saving this one as well for future reading.

I'd love to visit Yoda, however. It's not so much the budget, as it is the lack of time that prevents me from doing this. I can't even find the time to go see an AI here in Sweden any time soon, because of work.. work, work and work!

Oh on a side note, me being me, I left my 7th edition on an air plane yesterday.. and have given my 6th away to my father in-law. Will have to order a new copy. It's a pain though. Nothing to read on the Sunday, nor Thursday flight! :crybaby: Hopefully, the person that got Seat 2C on flight SK015 after me yesterday, is right now becoming addicted to TGM...:p

Anyway, thanks ALL of you guys for helping out!
Wonderful! :)

Airair,
You're not understanding something - HE IS POSTING FROM A MENTAL INSTITUTION! You may hear different rumors - but trust me. I stand by my post - as completely solid advice and fact based.

Whatever works for you guys, is fine by me.

Yes Christian, I advise the purchase of a PBS. I also suggest a TALY and a Tour Striker. I have been a sucker over the years for some different golf aids, but those are three I would not be without.

guys whats the big deal with the tour striker.....i always find that practicing with blades improve my overall striking due to the fact that if you strike a blade wrong youl know straight away by 1-feeling and 2-ball direction flight etc

Tried to order the PBS. Unfortunatley, they only seem to ship to c
Canada, and US.

I'm going to check out some reviews on the Taly, and how to use it in practice.

Has anyone that lives outside US and Canada bought the PBS? In that case, how did you manage to get it shipped there?
