a little over a year ago i decided to "find my own swing"...started experimenting in my garage hitting foam practice balls and seeing how the went off a 2-foot side X 8-foot tall board about 15-feet away...also started searching the internet for golf info and read about this moe norman guy...found a forum (SAGF) about swings like his and read a bunch (w/little useful info)...kept pounding balls trying to figure out what made them go where...a post on SAGF lead me to a debate on brian's site started by a SAGF-stalwart and i just started following the yellow-book road from there...like many others i found this little green guy whose posts made more sense than anything else i had read...read more about TGM and Mr. Kelley (and chuckled that he apparently did much of the research for TGM in his garage)..bought the book last january to be able to follow the references and have read it through twice...various circumstances kept me from playing much golf this summer and/or making it to an LBG affair, but i am striking the ball better, but need more practice time for consistancy and playing time for scoring...in reference to another thread i don't post much unless it's a non-TGM-technical topic like this one since i don't feel i have any expertise, but i'm having fun and making progress...don't have the time to browse tons of sites, but this is by far my first choice for usefull info (written and video)...thanks to everyone who puts so much effort into it...my wife and i don't usally exchange christmas gifts (just buy for the kids), but a LBG-DVD sounds pretty good this year...cheers!
