Dear Soldiers,

After the 2009 Inaugural GTE, a little ditty...and something borrowed.

Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.

Mr. Finney hitting drivers in the heel! Now I know what John Schlee meant, "...like watching a fish practice swimming." You can play that heel shot all the way to the bank. Y.E. Yang

Fair Dinkum Stevie -- The D-ate - Plane -- TOP SECRET Shhhhhh...

The Tumble!!! To grasp the significance of the golf swing was Brian's duty,to interpret it was his problem, and to express it, his dedication. He nailed it!

Mates, I'm buying a container of driveway markers this week. Want in?

Let me tell you how it will be
TRACKMAN
Theres a pattern for you, pattern 13 for me
TRACKMAN
cos I'm the TRACKMAN
yeah I'm the TRACKMAN


If you drive it right I'll track the street
if you hook it low I'll track your feet
if you sting it hot I'll track the heat
If you toss it soft-soft,
TRACKMAN
and your swinging for no one but me.

Golf, it's a bum's life. A neurotic impulse seeking less imperfection.

Thanks Fellas,

Rick

The Casio was a surprise, when Brian pulled the name out of the hat! It was early into the first day, and when I got home late that night, all I could do was stare at it.

Post up some swings

Hey Rick,

When you figure that fancy camera out why don't you post up one of your best swing like you did when you were a kid swings that BManz helped you rediscover!

Rick 'acorns' Dandy it was great meeting you atthe GTE and an absolute thrill to read your name out as the 'Manzella Casio door prize' winner.

Ok let me translate some of the things in this thread Aussie style!

I asked Brian when he did a beginner live lesson with Nikki(Jim Kobylinski's lovely fiance) why he taught her a big motion first rather than "pointing,tracing,fanningor piston right arm or Chip, Pitch or Punching her. Of course this was funny because it seemed like I asked Brian why he didnt punch her! lol

At dinner the topic of inter personal relations with women came up (where I am a 27 handicap hacker) and Brian explained his Manzella Matrix compatibility relationship system.
Wow! This was quite an eye opener and had all of us in stitches of laughter(he will need to do a post on itfor sure and it will help out a lot of guys).

Ian Clark and James Skelton our British lads from across the pond took back a whole bunch of the aimimg sticks from Home Depot,as they sell for 15ponds in the UK (a new business venture maybee?).

Anyway Bridie Man you need to be at least 90% crazy to be in the golf business, so when 35 of us get together in the same place for a few days, well you know.

It was the best seminar I have ever been involved with-thank you to all.

Steve

Mr dandy I hope the casio is now in full use! As for the tour alignment sticks, yes you heard right TOUR lol aka driveway reflector markers the guy on checkout at lowes looked quite puzzled when I rocked up with about 80 of the things! They are currently on sale with a little drill sheet for £10 per pair which is a little cheaper than eBay. Supply & demand!

OK, so the international contingent has their song, but I think the American contingent needs one as well. Since it must be less sophisticated by definition, let try a little Brooks and Dunn and parody Boot Scootin Boogie:

Out in the country past the Louisville sign
Well there's a driving range near the county line
The joint starts rocking every day when B Manz comes down
They got golf clubs, d-planes, u-planes & lag
It's where all the golfers go to Trackman boogie

I've got a good job I work hard for my golfin
When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my TaylorMade & let the swing speed fly
I go flyin' down that fairway to that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods to do the Trackman boogie

Yeah, aim, grip, NSA, come on baby let's go Trackman-in’
Oh, NHA, TGE, baby meet me outback we're gonna Trackman
Pivot around, what a sound, hit a bomb, Trackman boogie

Brian Manzella asks me says son what'll it be
I want a shot at that Trackman yonder lookin' at me
The d-planes hopping& it's hotter than the fourth of July
I see hackers, choppers, pro and top ams all out makin' it shake
Doin' the Trackman boogie

Yeah, aim, grip, NSA, come on baby let's go Trackman-in’
Oh, NHA, TGE, baby meet me outback we're gonna Trackman
Pivot around, what a sound, hit a bomb, Trackman boogie

Part 2 Thanks Brian, Allstars, and GTE'ers

A couple days after the GTE I was near exhausted and I thought why am I so down after being so up...then I got back to level by realizing...

I said, "Rick, the core was keen and open. The level of electricity and intellect was high. Half of the room could probably run the State they live in or local government they reside in, if not for their committment to get to golf. All the different variants of experience and real world education were present in that room, on the tee, or at the dining table. The hoarder mentality that all of us have seen was left for the dark side of the golfing moon. If you've struggled to get the answers, and maybe been given a dose of golfing snake oil, or maybe given up ten years of your life following a path that some crazy golf guru got you on, then from now on you've got a place to get to, where no matter your failings or misguided learnings, you are welcome, and appreciated. What's more, is you are free to give your appreciation back, or a hand in something you may have gotten to first, and thereby help yourself, by helping someone other than yourself. We needed this coming together.
