*scratches head* Why haven't I heard of this?

[Andretti]

Ordered the book a few days back and waiting for it to arrive...

I've been interested in golf for quite a few years. Until recently I had never heard of TGM. Why is that? I mean.. the book was written just before the turn of the century (or close to it), so it's been out there all this time.

This is of course, as YOU all know, a goldmine for anyone interested in how it REALLY works.... or?

I think I'll lay low for a while looking at all the amazing videos while I read up un the subject.
The fact that the golfing season is coming to an end where I live might be a blessing in disguise. Now I have time to work on/try out specific techniques without worring so much about being able to take it into competition.

Looking forward to coming seasons. Just hoping that I will stick to it. It's gotta be worth it in the long run.

Thank you all!

If TGM was right, then that means a heck a lot of people would be wrong, e.g. Leadbetter, Harmon, McLean, etc. And literature in the PGA Manual too.

Do you think these people/organisations are prepared to make a fool out of themselves by admitting this? Imagine all the consequences!

And it takes too much effort to learn the correct things.

Stick with it Andretti. Hang around this forum. It's hard to find a more supportive environment. We have some very knowledgeable and enthusiastic people around here!

Welcome aboard, Andretti, and thanks for this first post. Keep'em comin'!

And about that book...

The first edition was published way back in 1969. So you see, it's been around even longer than you thought!

*blushes*

I actually meant the 1800-1900 turnover as a joke to how long it's been out.... =) I obviously haven't noticed that we are living in the 21st century!!

As soon as my knowledge and expreience builds up, I'll ask more for sure!


Or... what the heck:

When I uncock the left wrist in the downswing, shall I do it to the extent that my left forearm lines up with the left thumb?
And do this take place simultaneously with a roll of the forearm, or is it prior in a sequence order?

Thanks!

Ouch! Thanks, loubert, I've made the change. So much for my math skills, Georgia Tech grad and all!

But remember, Homer began his research in 1941. So, the book was twenty-eight years old when it was born.

That would make it now sixty-four years old!
