Conditions-ground very hard despite big storms last night, ball bounced high and ran forever! I was closer to the greens than ever with lots of unfamiliar shots. Lost $6 in team match. Tied for 3 skins but did not win any!


What I did well- Four over on my first three holes Hitting and so I went to Swinging. Level left wrist, Stationary head in balance. Left knee/right knee to finish with 6 straight pars. Several one putt greens, hit a few pins with a knee/knee chip, lob wedge half way to the stick. "40"

What I did poorly- Thought I could re-establish the Hitting stroke on the back nine and was spraying the ball due to forgetting about the square club-face to plane in a Hit. Ten over on six holes. Hit into lots of traps not respecting the dangers and left lots of sand shots on the green but well short. I need to get a consistent sand routine with a shot that runs at the pin! Parred last three holes going back to swinging. "45"


Sticking with Swinging motion.

Lynn Blake says more in a 10 minute insight than many people do lecturing for hours! For example, Lynn has said in the forums and videos how much he admires Moe Norman and Paul Bertholy who's methods he's studied.

My interest is in building a sub-par shooting golf technique that I know well enough to use as I wish and can teach others with clarity and integrity.

My lowest score has been a 77 using Flying Wedges, Impact Fix, Covering the club-head path inside, RFT and a "vertical elbow drop" ala Moe Norman. I have been hanging around the low "80's" with my scores unable to reproduce the same 77 or lower BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE WHY OF WHAT LYNN /TGM TEACHES SO CLEARLY!

Using other TGM instructors and other time-tested golfing insights helps me sometimes, understand, unpack, and appropriate Lynn's observations.

Let's take a talented contributor to Lynn Blake Golf and his observation of the merit of Ernest Jones.

Clearly practical.

Now, let's observe Kiran Kanwar's observations about a pre-turned right shoulder and a synchronized lower right shoulder and lower body lead.

Notice any similarities with Paul Bertholy's drills for greater lag?

How about Moe Norman's 2001 techniques?

I am just starting to understand these things personally. By that I mean I can go to the range, pre-turn and lower my right shoulder, set my club head back along the and covering the Angle of Approach ala Moe Norman and consistently pound the ball down range with added distance using an Angle Hinge and Belly Button shift of the hips. It seems to me as if I get to "Both Arms Straight " much more effectively more often! In TGM, impact is incidental on our way to full extension and full follow through!

Lynn Blake has shown me that TGM is an accurate and effective description of the mechanical elements of the golf swing. He has also shown me a variety of ways to visualize those components with the help of Hogan, Runion, Norman, Bertholy and others. Maybe even Ms. Kiran Kanwar has some golfing insights that reinforce TGM?
