Hitting Convert?
 

Getting close to having the snow melt and head back to teaching. I can't wait!

I have worked hard on my TGM studies in my off time this winter. All the advice here has been a HUGE help in understanding Mr. Kelley's work. I decided I better take a look at 12-1, even though I am a swinger, I thought.

I figured I should understand the mechanics in case I have students who are hitters. The basic Pattern sounds great, very simple to learn and teach.

I dug out my Address and Set Up video for hitters by Ted Fort. WOW. You guys need to rename that. It not only teaches us the address routine for hitters, but runs through the entire swing. This video will be every bit as helpful to hitters as the Brian Gay video is for everyone who plays. This video takes the mystery out of hitting, and Ted makes it look sooooo simple. Hey Ted, what year did you last miss a fairway? With that solid action, it can't happen very often!

I took what I learned from Ted's video to the dome this morning. WOW, it really is as simple as it looks. What a great way to play G.O.L.F.! One outing as a hitter, and I think I'm hooked. Accumulater #1 Rules! :)

Just fair warning Ted, please make room for a fat guy in the hitters forum!

Thanks,
Kevin

Is that in the premium videos Kev?

I too am converting to hitting after finally getting fed up with a wandering duck hook that would show up unexpectedly and certainly unwanted several times a round!

GP, it's the last video on the Pro Shp page.

A good video
 

The advantages of being around here for awhile. I downloaded it when it was free. Ted would be cool to take a lesson from.

still on the journey
 

I miss fairways. But, the missed fairways are getting fewer and fewer. BY (before Yoda), I couldn't hit my butt with two hands, a mirror, and a flashlight. My game changed when I was introduced to the TGM that Homer taught. I think the best thing that ever happened to TGM was Lynn's hiatus from golf. In Lynn, we have a bridge to Homer without a re-invention of his work.

I'm getting older, having more kids, and playing better. Without Lynn and TGM, I think my game would be hurting. In '07, 80% of my under par rounds were in tournaments. Five years ago, I had to have less than 24 putts to shoot under par.

Few teaching professionals will have one Tour champion in their stable. Fewer still will have five Tour champions in a calendar year.

Living in Pittsburgh makes trips to the Swamp infrequent, but having had two 90 minute sessions with The King of Hitting over the past few years I can attest----it IS cool. Worth the trip for sure.

Someday...

Hard to believe my idea of golfing heaven has gone from Augusta to a swamp. :) I've been to Augusta, now I have to work on the latter!
