would like to go to classes but to busy on tour any ideas.how about an online class for us traveling stiffs
Great idea, John. I personally think it has tremendous merit (at least as a substantial part of the curriculum).
But...
The only TGM certification allowed these days is through the official 'on campus' courses of The Golfing Machine, LLC. And presently, the only instructor is the owner, Joe Daniels. At some point, there may be cyber-courses, but I haven't yet heard any such rumblings.
Until then, just boot up Lynn Blake Golf after your day between the yellow ropes. Heck, make us your Home Page! We keep things hoppin' around here, everybody learns a ton and we love hearing from you.
maybe you and rob can get in his ear about doing this.it has a tremendus amount of potential.definitely reach out to more people,which means spreading the truth and also more money

"For the want of a nail the shoe was lost. For the want of a shoe the horse was lost. For the want of a horse the rider was lost. For the want of a rider the battle was lost. For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail."
-- Benjamin Franklin
Go for it, Brian. You in your way and me in mine. One thing is certain...
If the TGM 'kingdom' is lost, it will not be for lack of nails.
Personally,
I feel online classes have merit - but feel certification should be done by a GSED in person only.
Last February, Lynn and myself posed a bunch of idea's to Danny Elkins (former co-owner of TGM) and Joe Daniels (sole owner now). While Danny seemed more interested in the potential of the internet, Joe seemed less interested.
For myself - there is not doubt to the endless contributions the internet can make - if used correctly. Alot of the current funding coming through TGM is a direct result of the path's laid by those whom, 3 years ago, started bombarding Chuck with questions on his first site. Then it snowballed - and it's obvious today alot of knowledge can be gained (not to mention branding/marketing, etc) from the internet.
However - although one can speak about the concepts from learning online, I personally feel it is invaluable to learn in person from a competent AI, if only to ensure application is accurate.
But...the online classes certainly have merit, just not sure about true certification and John, I certainly feel your pain. Personally, I would comp tour players if only for the exposure. In fact, I would travel to them....
