I am supposed to fly to Atlanta on April 17th. After this story, I've decided to start walking to Cuscowilla, TONIGHT!
Those I meet along the road will be treated to my version of many different LBG stories. Those who are interested can walk with me.
Congratulations to all involved!

3-w
I have never seen him play. But I know he is a swell guy. He heard I was interested in a 3 Wood. While I was practicing he drove and fetched two demo clubs from the proshop and gave me a good deal. I now am the proud owner of a Cobra 3 W. My set is full at last - free at last - Like a dream. (I hope it's the same Wayne we are talking about).

Air has opened the door for the "rest of the story".
Last week, Wayne asked me to take a look as he prepared for the Championship. He was 'almost there', but something wasn't quite clicking. He knew it, and the occasional push-cut joined in the chorus.
One swing told me all I needed to know: Arch Enemy #1 -- Steering -- was alive and well. I showed him what was going on, and we did a few drills to free his Golfer's Flail (Arm Swing and Wrist Action). The corrections in place, each new swing sent the ball soaring straighter and straighter and higher and higher and farther and farther.
In my best Martin Luther King, Jr., oratory, I began to preach, "Free at last! Free at last! Great God All Mighty . . . Free at last!"
Wayne picked up on my message and spent the rest of the lesson chanting before each swing, "Free the people! Free the people!"
That's the way I left him the weekend before the tournament. When he returned victorious on Friday, he told me (and a half dozen other well-wishers milled 'round), "I had only one swing thought the entire week."
And just what was that winning swing thought?
"Free the people. Free the people."
Worked for Wayne.
Works for me!

Thanks Lynn
In G.O.L.F what is "the people" and what are they being freed from? The Arms swinging freely, independently from the Pivot...........as in the McDonald drills? The golfers flail specifically with Wayne?
Just a guess.

Yes, Wayne's issue was all about free Arm Swing (Zone #2 Power) and a total unleashing of the Centrifugally-Accelerating Flail (per Homer Kelley, the Left Arm and Clubshaft unit, a.k.a., the Primary Lever Assembly). He had been "holding on" (Steering). He needed to "Let it go!" (Release). I demonstrated, channeled Moses and said, "Let my people go!"
Wayne picked up on that phrase and ran with it: "Free the people". It was his own catch phrase that enabled him to "free wheel" (hats off to Bobby Jones) through the ball. Then came my Martin Luther King, Jr. oratory, "Free at last!"
Hey, I'm shameless and in this instance called'em all in:
Homer Kelley . . .
Martin Luther King, Jr. . . .
Moses . . .
Bobby Jones . . .
Whoever and whatever it takes!
A "W", after all, is a "W".

Really all "Free the People" meant for me was a free arm swing and 2-K The flail. I let the Hands do it all and then the body just supported the intentions of the hands!!!
