I had an opportunity to work in Atlanta for four days. I was a bit skeptical about it since I dont want to leave my 15-month old son and a pregnant wife for a week. Upon learning that Atlanta has become a Jedi Training Center,
I knew this trip is well worth it.
25 miles from our hotel, I drove to Marrietta to peek at how TGM instructors can be compared to a typical golf instructor.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a madman hitting an impact bag. He was hitting it so hard that the bag can't take the
beating anymore. One seam ripped and I can see the stuffing as the bag flew at least five feet when he hits it.
I told myself I have to get a lesson from this madman. If he can do that to an impact bag, what more to a golf ball? I introduced
myself and fortunately he has a spare time the next day. We agreed on a two hour lesson and I have to use his clubs since I am
only armed with a camcorder and a TGM book.
The session started with learning how each arm functions in a golf swing. I learned the grip, stance, address position, the famous flying wedges, right forearm takeaway, hinges, pressure points, extensor action, the top, address, impact, and follow through. It was
an eye-opener for me and still amazed by how the TGM can be made simple. No big shoulder turn, hands are level with the shoulder and
tracing a straight line with a bent right wrist. The big key for me is how to get to the top with my hands on plane, forearm and elbow
supporting a leaning wall.
Yoda made sure that I can get to the top in perfect alignments. We spent at least an hour monitoring my hands at the top. Why an hour?
because I spent months in learning Dante's magic moves. Dante's magic moves give you an arched wrist from start to finish (I will not
recommend this to somebody with weak wrists). I also have learned to sway from Mike Austin's compound pivot and Dante's Hip movement in
downswing. The hitting motion that Yoda taught me is so simple yet very effective. I finally heard what a compressed ball sounds like.
It was an experience worth remembering.
P.S. - You are not buying a magic pill from Yoda but instead he will give you a prescription that you will take (and practice)
for the rest of your golfing life.
