As a matter of interest,exactly what is it you dont understand,by that,i mean can you give me an example what it is you cannot follow? im not on a recruitment drive ,just wanting to know what bothers people so much about TGM,im hoping its not just handed heresay,but actual proplems reading the yellow peril cheers

The last part of your last sentence sums it up pretty well. My responses are definitely not a dig or misguided attempt at rubbishing the teaching of TGM. I guess it all boils down to “I’m too farkin lazy to take the time to try and truly understand all the technical components of the book.” Obviously a brilliant mind, but one that I gave up on trying to match. Plus, as stated before, I simply do not have the mindset to put in the practice that TGM requires. I guess if I truly wanted to be a single figure golfer I may exert the extra effort, but I fear I would be dead before that remarkable achievement could take place. I shall remain a happy hacker attempting to play a consistent form of golf off my current 15 Hcp. My goal is to try and get back to where I was
40+ years ago playing off 12. That will do me.

That is not to say that I am not open to golfing tips that may improve various parts of my game. Provided, for me, if they are simple in explanation and come with a visual description as well for ease of comprehension. I feel I learn better from being shown how something works and having the stages explained to me as they take place. That way I can at least attempt to mirror that which is being shown and explained. The one thing I do understand and try to keep in my game is the Flat Left Wrist concept.

All good commish,I knew you werent taking a dig,I fully understand where your coming from.I am also on the back nine of golf life being 71 and still on singles.(just),your well on your way when you follow FLW concept,,it doesnt belong to TGM,,,add straight plane line (im sure you know that) and have a lag pressure and you can play solid golf imo,…we all try so hard to get the ball “out there”,we forget about accuracy,…..we could no doubt play a much better round or two by taking 1/2 swings (AQUIRED MOTION),..as for practice,i only use s/wedge 20-40 yds,and can look at my swing without too much effort,……..Anyhow,thats another story,i wont bore you with it,thanks for the yack mate

Totally understandable Commish really,but if one REALLY wants to improve in any sport,that sport should be dissected into sections for easier comprehension,..Homer did this,if its too hard to understand (the book)..there is tons of help out there. When I began learning through this system,Paul Hart directed me to Lynnblake forums where I learnt different meanings and descriptions and it all became cleared,I asked MANY questions and got so much help…….If I had my time again,would I go down this road again..?..IN A HEARTBEAT…..Steve Elkington said he read the bookmany times and did some work with Ben Doyle and steve said he could not find 1 thing incorrect in the system. cheers mate
