As a newbie I found Yoda's recommendation to watch the Rhythm-Hinge video 100 times at least.
I have also been watching the Basic Motion video as well, along with everything else I can watch.
Question - To begin improving my swing, should I begin with the basic motion video?
I have also seen the videos with the Left-Right drill. Should I also employ this in my new curriculum to improve my Gawd Awful swing?

But the Lag and Drag it establishes going back is something I have recently dialed up with great success. The flowing momentum it produces can really Load the Lag on its own but goes off the charts when working in concert with the Hips change of directions prior to Startdown, Axis Tilt. The Hip Slide with a Delayed Turn which represents the second "clear the right hip" of 12-3.
Look Ma , Im loaded for bear.

Hi everyone. Let me tell you a little of what I know about taking golf lessons. Many, many people will charge you near $1000 for a "complete package," and most of those people, I am not talking about TGM/LBG people here, have no stronger of a recommendation than "a friend of a friend," if you follow me.
Mr. Blake gets called all the time from people who are feeding themselves and their families with their sticks. HE GETS CALLED BY PROFESSIONALS THAT NEED TO DO IT THE BEST THEY CAN.
Airfare for me is about $300 round trip. Cuscowilla was about $700 with car rental. Then I payed for lessons. For many of you, that is 10 rounds of golf or less! For me, it is 20 rounds. MR. BLAKE WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY I SPENT.
DO THE RIGHT THING AND REWARD YOURSELF WITH LESSONS FROM MR. BLAKE! YOUR ENJOYMENT OF GOLF WILL SKYROCKET AS WILL YOUR WINNINGS.

I will also highly recommend lessons from Yoda.
If you want to give yourself a life time experience of golf knowledge - he's your man.

Hey City, You're a cool dude .... I enjoy your posts and it was fun watching you improve and seeing your progress every day. In fact, If I had the money, I'd send you down there for 3 more days just to see it all over again. That was a blast seeing everybody learning and having a great time.

He knows everyones' name, who's written what and when. He really is quite caring and very impressive. He could clone himself since he is that busy!

That's great Daryl. I forgot to ask him why Bucket likes goats so much though.
