D, you morphed this thread into Meat Ball Methods, didnt you. Bagger aint gonna like this.
And all this time I thought you were looking for some new spaghetti recipes. Or variations. TGM is not a cook book you idiot.
You will be set adrift, to live in eternal damnation amongst your friends on the Advanced B.S. website. And, May G.O.L.F. have mercy on your poor pathetic soul.
I liked Johns writing, his reflections, his passion.
Have you told your Wife?
Aye, he was interesting at first. What happened? Now, he seems to have a 'chip on his shoulder'. I guess being on a TGM website for almost two years will make anyone kinda crazy. Especially while people are trying to itemize a "Stroke Pattern" for his "Swing Method". That could force anyone who thinks they have something new to offer, to go over the edge. Now, he babbles and needs Therapy. Man; "Another one bites the dust"
.
He could be pis_ed off because Nancy Pelosi is his Congresswoman. ??

The only "Post" mentioning "Method Golf" in this thread was written by you.
There are so many wonderful teachers and patterns out there that we can all learn from. We all feel YODA and ALIGNMENT GOLF are at the top of the list, but many others have a lot to offer as well.

I'm with you there Kev and said as much on Lag's site.

Kevin,the love is in the almighty dollar as usual. If you are trying to push a pattern, you are selling. Homer Kelley called his book a tool box, meaning there is something in the book for all patterns. Unfortunately, a lot of internet sites push a method of some sort, a pattern that is superior. They pick out golfers who have never won major tournaments and prop them up as models. LBG instruction creates athletic, golf like movements, whether swinging or hitting. If you cannot claim superiority, you won't sell. Unless what you provide is not sales but information, like we get here. If our agenda is making golfers better, of course we would get along. If we are trying to sell a pattern, watch out. If we could transport some of these guys back in time to teach Jack Nicklaus at Scioto when he was 16, do you think he would have been a better golfer? I'll stick to the yellow book, study my alignments and work on my swing, not Moe Normans.
The essence of "love" is destroyed by rendering love common place. Every system (golf or otherwise) is implictly exclusivistic. However, not all systems are equal...some have closer correspondence with reality than others. Acceptance is not to be confused with toleration. Tolerance is a myth. I reject the "can't we all just get along?" mantra. Let us scrap it out...the last idea standing...wins! Nothing free about love my friend...it makes it's own demands. Unity of thought is for utopian suckers! Again...I say let us scrap it out! Bring it...big boy...bring it! Insert smiley.

Thats it. The sound you are hearing is a big can of whoop-ass opening. I'm getting your address from Bucket!

Dodger, I like your sentiments, the only problem is that most on here agree that if Yoda got hold of Tiger then 50 majors would be realistic.
I laso agree with Okie that one of the best ways to settle any argument is the old line - "Show me your medals"
the sad truth is that with the exception of Brian Gay, there are no professionals winning events (never mind majors) who will say "I owe it all to Homer Kelly".
Whatever we want to believe about sing theory, it is whoever gets it in the hole in the fewest number of strokes that wins the prize. We can wax lyrical about Stuart Appelby's positions, but the truth is, that there are no TGM'ers winning week in week out.
