...maybe we shouldn't feel the need to be defenders of TGM. We all love it, of course, but there is so much more. The genius of Lynn Blake Golf as an example. We would all be a little lost, IMHO, if YODA had not unlocked the secrets of the pivot with the MacDonald Drills and the thoughts of other great teachers like Boomer. TGM and all of Homer's work is WONDERFUL, but there is so much room for more interpretation, and we find it right here.

I vehemently disagree with disrespecting TGM, it is the foundation of all great golf swings, but there is more...

IMHO, that my friend, is why you are having such great success in teaching your daughter. Flat left wrist, lag pressure, plane. Man, when a student understands they need to work on those principles before all else, they learn to help themselves...

Add to that the simplicity of the LBG pivot using the MacDonald drills, watch out!!!

The MacDonald drills. The pictures are silly, the text is basic, the results are MAGICAL!!!

I have to review these some more. Right-left, right-left. Right?

You got it.

In addition, Rick Murphy, YODAs protege, does a wonderful job discussing their simplicity in his Golf Channel video!

I send a bit of time in Miami at the Doral. Having spent a lot of time on the range I have overheard Jim and his assistants in their teaching.

Interestingly they pretty much teach one pattern. Its by no means a bad one, its pretty good stuff. Not the variety one would expect from someone who has this particular criticism.

Jim McLean on Brian Gay.
 
He wrote this on YouTube.

Has Brian ever been a top ball striker on tour? He putts it often but has worked with quite a few teachers over the years. Not developed by TGM.

Any suggestions on what to answer?
