Horton's plan

[Brian Manzella]

I would publish two versions of TGM:

Theoretical TGM (Homer's 1982 Edition)

Practical TGM (Edited by AIs)

The original edition of TGM is outright silly and only attracts and fascinates the neurotic extreme of the golfing world, who think that complicated must be truth. The AIs ignore the sham science in Homer's TGM and try to decipher the methodology and terminology to incorporate it and enhance their personal teaching style.

TGM will fail unless it is made golfer-friendly, because most will not buy a pig-in-the-poke promising a golfswing if you educate your hands so you can apply PP#3 and a Flying Wedge. So get real fellas, because TGM is dying because it is a hocus-pocus voodoo golfswing theory. Sanitize TGM, reject the scientific crap, plainly list it's methodology, and stop trying to create a cult following who sound like a bunch of hari krishna golfers beating drums and jangling bells chanting "sustain the lag .. sustain the lag .... "

Thank you brianman for reposting my deleted message ....

I thought my suggestions would blend with your own statements on this forum, namely:

a) You teach using suitable methods for the student, and TGM is only one of them, and,

b) You don't fully understand Homer's intuitive physics, but you utilize the practical aspects of TGM.

Unless TGM is rejigged to make it comprehensible to the average reasonable golfer, it will just be relegated as another snake oil golfswing scam kept alive by a cult following.

....and still producing some of the best golf shots, using 4 Power Accumulators to compress the ball!

You don't have to know physics to get results. You can tell something works when the ball hits the clubface.

FL-john and Birdie_man .... Two results-orientated golfers who have found the solutions to their golfing woes with TGM. Don't let anybody here tell you that you have to go to school to learn the Physics behind TGM, or why the ball must be compressed through it's LOC .... just as long as you are happy with your results.

Of course stay away from those who profess to understand the Scientific ins and outs of TGM, like poison because that my ruin your Four Barrel golfswing.

Good golfing and keep the faith .... [:X]

I have studied The Golfing Machine for 25 years. In all that time, I have found nothing -- absolutely nothing -- that when correctly understood and executed, doesn't work.

Try that with any other system available 25 years ago. Or available now. The truth in Golf Instruction is a pretty short list. It begins and ends with...

The Golfing Machine.

Careful Lynn, he's just gonna suck you in again. Remember the old saying: never argue with a pig. You'll only get muddy, and the pig likes it.
