How would I go about getting authorized? I am moving to the Pensacola, FL area in a few weeks and will be near Ron Gring who is a G.S.E.D. Can he authorize instructors? Thanks.

Ron,
We really try to handle things on this board whenever possible. You never know who it might help.

To my understanding, you must be authorized by Joe Daniels in hopes to centralize and make the training consistent throught TGM from now on. Check www.thegolfingmachine.com and go to classes where you will find a schedule. Who knows, maybe you'll come up to Minneapolis for authorization?
Hope this helps, and send questions to pluthb@pga.com if you have any.

You see Todd?
Ed,
I wasn't asking about your knowledge, I consider you very knowledgeable, I was wondering about your post with the dollar signs, I would think since you haven't been to one you would have a hard time knowing if it is worth the dollars or not. I have been to a few and consider it the best knowledge available, something I don't know if I can put a price on.

Not Ed, but the classes for GSEB level 1 and 2 are about $1200 each for just the class..
Some may beleive that is a bit pricy since this differs greatly from regular golf schools.
There was once a list of 65 questions or so that you could study for answering and a short list of definitions as well.
The test used to be open book and to get the percise answer did take a bit of effort on some of the questions.
I beleive that unless an individual needs the certification, it probably is pricy.
One support system that exist, I will say unoffically, is three forums that are led by GSED. I believe even without going through the courses you can follow the suggest reading by Homer and then camp out on these forums and develop a very solid knowledge base of TGM and the application of TGM. Though the forums vary regarding responses (reference, use of pseudo terms, etc.) it IMO really adds greatly to the understanding and dare I say, makes it simplier to learn. After all it was Homer who said you should have an AI guide you on your path and fortunately we have several who have choosen to do this using the internet...

Nice call Todd, go to a class Ed it can only enhance and upgrade your current wealth of knowledge. Nothing any good is free in this world, gee the ammount of money I have spent with Ben and Gregg learning and travelling to TGM Summit and I think I didnt pay enough.

And Homer also learned everything by himself, I believe. I'm not denying for one second the value of a truly knowledgeable teacher.
For the vast majority of people, it's definitely the only feasible route.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe Homer sold his knowledge. He did give a lot away also.
I am sure I have replied to this already, but here goes again,
The level 1 class is 4 days, with an open book exam of 120 questions,before you get to the class, Joe will send you a required reading list, as well as a list of definitions that you need to have done before you get there. I am back to see Joe in Feb to take level 2, and I can honestly say that it has been worth every penny spent, and I have to travel from England to get there. The info I received has only helped to enhance my own teaching. Hope this helps, by the way, I have also attended the last 3 PGA of America summits, and my 4 days spent with Joe, well no comparison.
