Parking lot lesson

[Yoda]

Sounds a little like Bob McDonald (exercise 6 and 7).

Right you are, Drew. In fact, the MacDonald Exercises (#6 and #7 from the book Golf, Robert MacDonald, 1927) were the basis for Phase II. See http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4435 and click on the images to enlarge.

A modified Mehlhorn drill (from the book Golf Secrets Exposed, Bill Mehlhorn and Bobby Shave, 1984) was the basis of Phase I. Bill Mehlhorn was a premier ball striker and a three-time leading money winner on the PGA Tour in the '30s. [I strongly recommend this book and have arranged with Bobby Shave a 20 percent discount for LBG members. Just drop Bobby a line at info@mehlhorngolf.com, tell him which products you want (I recommend the videos, too) and that you're a friend of Lynn Blake Golf. That will do it.]

The bottom line is that the basics I teach stretch back at least a century (to Harry Vardon). But the precision I teach goes back only to 1969, the date Homer Kelley published the first edition of The Golfing Machine. Finally, the application I teach is unique to each student and is often 'made up' on the fly. I see the motion as it is and then, as it could be. My communication skills and the player's dedicated effort bridge the gap.

It is what I do.

Congrats on the improved play!

I am a little green over your encounter! However, I have taken many a lesson from Yoda, courtesy of cyberspace!

Yoda, I will be in the Outback Steakhouse parking lot (71st Street, Tulsa location) Friday evening @ 7:21 pm. See you there?

OHHHHHH man that was a BAD BAD FATAL MISTAKE you just done Okie . . .
I'm sure Mike O will be there now . . .
Would you rather have flowers or memorials sent???
I gotta call that Outback and make sure nobody eats any hamburgers there that night . . . Been nice knowing you man . . .

OKIE,
This is Yoda- I'll be there Friday evening- make sure you wear an orange shirt so that using an example "I could see you say from down the street with a scope." By the way- let me know what kind of car, make, model, color that you drive- and arrive alone.
Thanks-
Green Man

Gee whiz, "Yoda" I am going to have to pass on the oppurtunity. I am an OU fan, wearing orange is forbidden! As for my ride!

Whew . . . I'm glad to hear Silver Surfer is still around . . . he's been AWOL . . .I was worried that Mikey took a vacation way up NAWTH. . . he's probably got his tongue stuck to a lamp post up there some where.

This could be the start of something new.

We can schedule Yoda at a new Parking Lot location each Friday Night (summer only). And rather than Ball Retrievers we’ll hand out dent removers.

I’m thinking $40 bucks a head at the gate and 20% of concessions. I’m sure we can get the “Cracker Barrel” to sponsor the event each week.

We’ll market the events as “Tune Up and Fill Up For The Weekend”

On Special Occasions, $60 buck per head and all you can eat; Cracker Barrel can arrange the Dinning Tables in a miniature 18 hole putting course.

I’m estimating 28K per month and we cut Yoda in for 45%.

Mike O works at In & Out Burger (for reasons obvious) . . . he could probably get us a hook up on the venue.

I'm sure Mike O is a great Fry Chef. However we need to think bigger and I know that Yoda will lean into this a little more if it's a Cracker Barrel.

No no . .. Mike O is Special Sauce Specialist . . .

Do you mean he organizes all of the Packets of condiments and separates them into their own bins for customers to choose? Wow. That's an important job. Overtime?
