Huge flipper, etc. and very frustrated. He appointed me his helper and wasn't about to waste any money on lessons. We played a couple times and I tried to stay out of his way as much as possible. Then he started with the demanding. We let a group go through as he was introduced to Basic Motion on the tee of the 9th hole. After feeling a little compression for a change, he hit a driver. We got to the ball and I threw another one down for him for basic motion. After that he hit his first good iron shot of the day. He knew it could be done. We completed the 18 and he may have had a couple more decent shots in the final 9. After a conversation about the importance of constructive lessons he agreed to meet with KevCarter. He did and really got enthused. Now he'll get it going again with Kev in Feb. I'm a firm believer if Basic Motion could be bottled it would be labeled "Magic Elixir."
