City,
Interesting. I also have a dot on my golf glove but it is on the "snoose box" (Minnesota clinical term) to remind me to Cock instead of roll back which just kills me.
Can't wait to pick your brain with Kevin on the range. I'll try to find my way around the red dots.
Many thanks to Daryl and Kev for TSP help.
With all Patrick's hard work, I have a feeling Jerry and I are going to learn a lot of TGM from him!
Our job will be to help Patrick incorporate the appropriate ideas into his stroke. This will be a BLAST!
Kevin

Ok, the good news: first time ever I have had three consecutive
"9's" sub 45 (41, 42, 44). Yesterday was my personal best of 6 pars in a round. Today, I had 7 pars.
It was also ok that I had 10 GIR's for the first time in my life. Bad news: I was 3 over for those 10 holes!
I burned lots of edges and did not make any putts over 10'. My chipping game was not strong and I snap hooked (because I tried my HHinge at the wrong place in my stance (made two triple bogies).
How did I do it? I started on the driving range getting my hip back with the marching exercise and using pp# 4 to reverse. Felt very solid with plenty of distance (thanks, Daryl). I saw that we were playing our White 9 with 3, 200 + yards shots to the green. So, I tried about 10 EA dominated primary levers. I ripped them straight, dead on line.
What does that mean? I let my left arm be completely limp and traced the base line of the plane (BLP) forever. I brought my left arm to my chin ramrod straight with lots of elbow bend. I kept my head down, except for two holes and extended my elbow to the BLP! Uhmm, no pivot because my left leg is shorter by 1.5 inches than my right and my RFT actually pushes me forward a bit as my hip goes back! (I owe this to insights from my GSEB, John Savage who showed me the "straightness" of the RFT, to Kevin and Jerry who hammered me with RFT, to Daryl and OB, who only give me about one major insight regarding something in TGM daily, and to Yoda's DVD that showed me the yellow stretch band and lifting my left arm up on the DVD.)
I am thankful, and I'm breaking 80 tomorrow one way or another.
I had two drive over 280 yards, on purpose! I simply lowered my tee ball to only 1/2 inch above the driver! I was 5 yards short of our 535 yard par 5 after my second shot. Missed an eagle chip when it hit the pin (first ever eagle chance) and bounced 10 feet away. The birdie putt fell an inch short. We won $23 which went to my Minnesota beer fund account!

I have covered a lot of material since March of this year in hopes of discovering a "perfect fit" that would maximize my physical gifts and ignore my physical limitations. My emotional problems, well, God alone can sort those out.
I have discovered several combinations of components that work to some extent.
Swinging works for me as indicated by scoring multiple 41's when I committed to those components while competing.
1) TSP
2) Horizontal Hinge for driver and long clubs, angle hinge for everything else
3) Impact fix
4) Roll back hip back steadily w/EA
5) send # 4 pp back up steadily w/EA
6) stable head
I drive the ball so well, even using a 3/4 swing speed that I stay in every hole. 75% of swing force applied correctly helped me shoot 6 over on our back 9, today. Feeling the heaviness of the putter really worked, too.
The front nine was a disaster at a 49. When I got my hip back I tried to drive my shoulder down but came OTT. It wasn't until posting on the front leg that my Ott disappeared.

Sorry,
All I saw was "Minnesota Beer Fund Account."
I was 1 over after the first hole and 1 over after the fifth hole. One of my opponents, our club champion, had parred the first five holes. He was starting to complain (in a friendly way) about being 4 down after five holes. I was 7 over on the front nine having burnt the edge or popped out of five holes. He was 1 over. I had 4 pars with five GIR's.
I had four more pars and burnt five more edges and hit two pins sending the ball more than 10 feet`away each time. I shot an 86 and our club champ shot a 69! $10 more for the Minnesota Beer Fund!
What made it even more fun was the fact that champ was using Titelist Pro V1's and I was using Nike's cheapest ball, the "Mojo." (24 for $12) if I had made 2 putts of any length, we would've collected $30!
I have shot two under my hcp during the last two rounds.
It's ok, but I need to overcome one big problem. I am hooking my short irons like crazy and have started to rely on pp #4 sending it straight up on the downswing to keep my line. It was 100 degrees F. here today, and I was carrying my 9 iron over 140 yards!

Holy Buckets, City, much more in the beer fund and you'll be hanging around with us for an extra 28 days!
Those distances you are hitting those 9 irons are certainly impressive. We have to talk. You first.

So I went back to my first TGM, RFFW, frozen, locked in.
I added EA below plain and bent the elbow. The funny thing is that EA below plain bend s the elbow and unbends the elbow.
Here's the amazing thing. Unbending the elbow produces pro trajectory and straight while I'm leaning on the left side. A hip bump sends it further and I can get the same distance and straightness and trajectory by rolling the shoulder up and staying on my left side.
I parred the first two holes and I was long with my short irons, 145 yards with my 9 iron. Driver was long and straight on the third hole and then....
I had driven to an uphill position and I stopped leaning because of the hill! I fought the short iron hooks the rest of the day! Chips and putts got me only four more pars...44/45 for an 89. By failing to lean to my left my ball placement was too far forward and my shoulder came around the hip.
To survive the round, I gave up shaft lean with the short irons which defeated the hooks but took out the trajectory and the sharpness of direction. It is amazing how important the down portion of the strike is because of the forward lean and the clearing of the down hip!!!!
The EA applied to chips and putts with the line in the hole is incredibly accurate and trustworthy relating to the BLP!
Thanks guys!
Patrick

Locking up the Left Lean & RFFW for fun and profit!

OK, shifting left or simply staying on my left or forward leg allows the right shoulder to come straight down. Coming straight down allows me to hit stright down on the ball and shoot at the middle of the greens without fear of hooking.
I have two problems, at least. When I am standing to a shot that is uphill, I forget to lean and get my hip out of my way. I also forget to keep my RFFW intact.
I practiced the hip shift and shoulder down move with RFFW intact a little too much, about 500 balls worth, yesterday. I was 8 over for 12 holes until the back spasms hit producing a disaster. Instead of finishing well, I had to get help to get back in the cart on the last two holes and somehow shot a "91."
The Minnesota Fund was increased, however by $7. Our total is now at $55!

With City's back, Lefty's (Kevin's) elbow and my ailments, we better find a range close to a hospital.
As for the beer fund, nice goin' City. That should get us through an hour or two.

Came down by a front leg post allowing the back shoulder to drop and drive right arm to Both Arms Straight Poisition with Finish Swivel. (The video with Yoda and Rick did it Kevin, Jerry! Frick'n awesome! )
Legs are fine but back spasms came at odd times. Spasms cost me a double and two triples on front and two bogies and two triples on back. Shot 92.
Had lunch. Back felt better. Played a 9 hole Stableford with two past club champs (got lots of strokes) and was 2 over for the last 6 holes.
Minnesota Beer Fund increased by $44!
