You gotta love it - Its great stuff man.....
 

Excellent seems like an understatement.

Of course I have only watched them four times as of now, but I am sure there is more watching time in the future. Really a lot of information and explanation of TGM, beyond the motion.

This is the second series that I think you all have reached new standard heights.

Nothing like a trip to the swamp where the cows can be heard and there is music in the air...

Great stuff....

Great stuff. Interesting that Jeff states he's able to think mechanically while playing a round. Jeff, do you limit how many things you key on, like what keeps you in precision that day? Or do you have a checklist that you go through?

Thanks, Martee, and that appreciation extends to all others who have posted their positive comments. Jeff and I had a lot of fun doing this Series, and we are having even more fun reading what you have to say about it. Keep those posts comin'!

Now, about that 'Green Acres' experience. :redface: :lol: The Swamp is buffered on its east side by a large pasture. And even though there is a tall stand of bushes and trees bordering the two, there is no mistaking the identity of the pasture's vocal occupants (especially around thier quitting time). And there is also no mistaking our commitment to you, our valued Members: We talk G.O.L.F. it until the cows come home! :grin:

But there is more...

On The Swamp's west side, up the road aways, there is a chicken plant. And some time ago, a rooster got loose -- I didn't know there were roosters in a chicken plant :scratch: -- and strayed into the apartment complex next door. And that rooster can flat tell you about it. Yes indeed he can. And not just in the morning either. We're talking a 24-hour rooster here. Please :stop: !

Between the cows and their mellow moos and the rooster's scratchy cock-a-doodle-do, trust me...

The cows are better!

:)

You Can't Please Everybody
 

But the chickens love me! :)

I have only had a chance to watch the final "summary and demonstration." If I'm going to watch them one at a time I'm naturally going to skip straight to the end and see some drivers. :)

"My head is too stationary." Very interesting. Really liked the 'look at the camera and swing' stroke; Jeff's Computer seems to have his motion ingrained pretty well!

Martee/Lynn,
One of these days you might consider posting the MMOC (Martee Makeover Challenge). An excellent video for those lucky enough to have a copy.

Ball? What Ball?
 

Remember, when Jeff made that comment, he was talking about the potential for being 'ball bound' into the Finish. In other words, staying down 'too long.'

To prevent that, he wants his Head to swivel nicely into the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position) and then to come up naturally as he moves onto his left side into the Finish. He definitely was not talking about the need to introduce a Bob (up-and-down movement) or a Sway (side-to-side movement, with the Stroke or in reverse) into his Stroke.

And thank you, Matt, for picking up on that marvelous Stroke. If anyone thinks it's easy to look straight into the camera lens and rip an iron shot long and straight and with a beautifully-carved divot, just try it sometime.

Impressive?

You bet!

Stocking Stuffer
 

Good idea, mb6606, and I appreciate your thoughts. But, for the very personal reasons explained below, I will never post the video in our Gallery.

Marty and I did the three-part video as a special 'thank you' for people such as yourself who selflessly rallied to my call for support of his 'emergency' mission to The Swamp. More than thirty signed on and offered their support with no strings attached and expecting zero in return. It was truly a unique happening...one that I often think about. :)

As you know, at the time there was a good deal of demand for the video from those who, for whatever the reason, did not participate in the funding of the MMOC. However, I just didn't think it was 'right' to offer it outside our group. And I still will never produce it commercially. However, to help support our mission, I may at some point offer it as an incentive to join the Friends of LBG.

I am sure there are many who would join, and I'd like to give them a good reason to do it!

Thanks for the reply Lynn. I didn't infer from it that he wanted to introduce extraneous movement, but noticed that it was a 'different' way of phrasing things.

I would think that having your head stay down too long is a problem that doesn't develop overnight. Usually, when I Swing, the pivot rotation brings the head around and up automatically past impact. Perhaps too many Basic and Acquired motion strokes? Not really sure where I'm going with this other than to further my understanding of interdependency within a stroke.
