I just wanted to post a thread of thanks to Jim_0068 and the difference TGM and his instruction has made to my Golf.
It’s a long story but worth the read I think :-
After a long search around the internet I eventually stumbled across the FGI site and one day clicked on a thread that dealt with a swing fault question that I knew I had - Jim had replied and it made a lot of sense – so wanting to know more I emailed him direct and since then he has taken the time and a lot of patience to answer all my questions and then some (I'm even picking up the US lingo).
I was an 18 handicapper with an all arms and hands swing, a strong right hand grip, closed shoulders, no axis tilt, a small reverse pivot, no flat left wrist, no pp#3 and a flipper – just hand & eye co-ordination (former sports) and a will to improve got me to that handicap.
After a few questions Jim concluded that I was a swinger using angle hinge – which meant nothing to me at the time.
He’s explaining to me TGM in simple terms, I’m learning all the time and I can feel my swing improving with each tweak, I'm also able to feel what I'm doing wrong on occasions, something I was never able to do.
Now after a few months of online tuition - I’m a steady 14 handicapper with a much better and more consistent swing - my ball striking is light years ahead of where it was, my bunker play has improved, only my pathetic putting lets me down from scoring better - which Jim has tactfully mentioned in another thread [:I] – LOL
What is all the more amazing is the fact that I am from England, UK and Jim’s in Chicago and he’s never even seen me swing !!!!! -------I haven’t sent him a video - he doesn’t even know what I look like [
)] (lucky him) - It’s all been done through, questions & answers and links to BM Instruction Articles and Lynn Blake Links.
So a really big thanks to Jim, his time and patience and to all you TGM instructors and contributors who have taken the time to set up & post on these sites to help us golfers who want to improve.
