If my experience is anything to go by, there would be no shortage of possible participants, willing to pay whatever it would cost. Unfortunately, TGM in Europe suffered the same battering it did in the U.S. and that at the hands of the self appointed bodies for teaching the game, namely the P.G.A.s. For 25 years or so there has been a systematic rubbishing of TGM. Principles before personalities was never an option. The British PGA was of the opinion that studying the GM was the touchstone of insanity, and gave the impression that anyone caught would be barred forthwith. The German PGA loudly claimed for many years that the Golfing Machine was dead. Its leaders continued a very expensive scientific study into the 458 ways to top the ball. I am serious. In good vee vill vin tradition they continue trying to reinvent the wheel. The tragedy that is the Golfing Machine story so far has been given a golden opportunity to transcend the politics and small minded power struggles that have kept it in the shadows all these years. Why not Sweden?. Or Scotland in July?. St Andrews, maybe?. mcfas45 View Public Profile Send a private message to mcfas45 Find all posts by mcfas45
