What you resist...persists! If you want to learn about HOMER KELLEY'S The Golfing Machine THIS is the place to be. HK solved the puzzle and some people resent him for it! Go figure
Ironic that "The Stallion" is merely a Trojan horse made up from the wreckage of the vessel he himself has sailed in!
My mom has given me better golf lessons than M-dog did in the 3 hours he had to work with me. He gave me the WORST lesson I have ever gotten by far, and I had to drive 20 hours to get it.
Smoke and mirrors.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
I just finished watching a video web show of an instructor who instead of covering the topics on the list was to bash the way homer wrote TGM and your instruction. I know there are going to be differences in TGM instruction Men will be Men but this is not the way it should be. I just want to say that you are the real deal and offer more about TGM with your web site than any of the so called Cesar’s or Napoleons of the golf instruction world and I just want to thank you again for it.

You may be interested to know John that your description of the pivot i.e you know the one you put up that the Cesar along with the cronies poured scorn on is now the greatest aka a face on clip of Sam Snead
Hypocrite seems impolite but appropriate

Here is the Smart Pivot I wrote in my book. This is what Sam and many great players of the past did. I have been teaching it for over twenty years and don't plan on stopping.
The Smart Pivot is the natural rotation from the hip sockets. For the human body to make a pure rotation from the hip sockets only one hip pivots and the other is passive. This would be the right hip socket for the right hand golfer.
If both hips are pivoting at the same time, the result is a twist (Chubby Checker). Most golfers are taught to twist today, as many golf instructors do not know how the body is designed to move. For the right-handed golfer on the back swing the right hip does the rotation while balancing the weight on the right leg. The left hip socket is passive.
The left heel lifts at the start of the back swing from the bending of the left knee (Knee Action) and the rotation of the right hip pivot. As the Smart Pivot continues the back swing pivot, the left foot rolls inward form the right hip rotation with the ball of the left foot only left in contact with the ground to help with balance at the top of the back swing. The same pivot action is used in the wind-up of a baseball pitcher but his left foot comes of the ground. The upper body rotates in a circle with the Smart Pivot of the right hip as if the upper body and lower body were fused.
The down swing of the smart pivot is still the rotation from the right hip socket. When you combine the rotation or the right hip, knee action and down swing momentum, the left foot returns to the ground and the Smart Pivot will have the look of an orthodox pivot you see with tour players. The Smart Pivot was the pivot used by great golfers of the past. Bill Mehlhorn taught this smart pivot to Sam Byrd and Sam is the only pro baseball player to have success on the PGA tour.
Today this once natural motion known to many has been replaced with a variation of hip twisting motions with weight moving all over the place taught as a pivot. It is not a pivot but an unbalanced twist. If you look very closely at Tiger, Jack and many of the great players of the past and present you will see this Smart Pivot. It has never left. It will always be present in all the great golfers because it is the correct way to pivot in the golf swing.

Tried to post this before but apparently it vanished. I attended TGM schools level I&II. I learned more in those two weeks than in 30 years of personal research and lessons. Joe presents the material in a professional manner and educational environment. If you want to be an A.I. it is worth the expense; however, that doesn't mean you cannot learn TGM concepts from great teachers like Lynn and Chuck.
As for the TGM family, we are all trying to teach Mr. Kelley's concepts- authorized or not, and we need to support each other in taking this information to the golfing world.
