it seems so curt.

Jerry, curt is the uncomplicated poetry of TGM - pretty sure Homer himself would give you a thumbs up for keeping it concise and accurate.

So thanks for that - I wasn't trying to be coy, I actually get that with TGM less is more. Like the swing, Homer found a language that made the most impact, with the fewest moving parts.

And thanks for the exposition on your points - most of TGM is way beyond me. So a extra verbiage goes along way to fog lifting for me. But I'm amazed at how profound a change the little I have figured out, has made to my game.

Good luck. And if you have any questions, do not go see your PGA pro unless he has GSE? behind his/her name.

I hear you brother. I can't even watch playing lessons with the pros on the golf channel anymore unless I turn the volume off. I watch just to see beautiful, efficient motions.

Last face to face instruction I had was at cracker barrel with Lynn+Ted over a short stack. That was...5 years ago?

Now its me, this forum and a stack of balls chipping to a hole 35 yds away. My warm up used to be an hour of pointless / uninformed ball smashing hoping something good would happen.

Now, once I hit a few solid chips, feel the ball melt, compress then fly off the clubface - I know I'm on the right track. Well, at least a 'more right' track.

Sorry to run on, thanks again for taking a moment to help.
