I'm glad you put this on.... I tried to be pretty vanilla on TGM, because I didn't want to accidentally offend anyone there. So, I was going to post something here but I've been spending so much time with dowels and trying to get lag, I haven't done it yet.

Actually.... I was much more impressed than I let on....I wish I'd known how easy it was to hit a golf ball in 1992. I wouldn't have band aided my swing for 13 yrs. I'm still a long way from being 'there' but I now know where 'there' is... and I have a solid plan to get there.

I've played one round since being back. 49 and windy (10-13 mph), hit 7 greens on the front, went to heck on the back, 4 greens (1 par 5 in two though, w/ a 255yd wind aided 3 wood). I found myself backsliding on impact fix as the round wore on.... but that should be simple to fix, I just spend an hour a day addressing and re-addressing with the dowels. I was a bit surprised that in addition to carry, I get more roll with my driver. Some of the steepness is leaving the swing, I think.

Ted, the chipping and pitching is improved, but I still putt like Ray Charles (rip).....lol... actually I did stroke it well for 3 holes the first round back, but I've got a lot on my mind. None of this is auto pilot yet. Practice is getting there, but again it requires concious thought and the right shoulder comes out, and I slide back into more turn then I should have hitting. I'm committed! It will come!

I want to thank Ted, he is an excellent instructor who made the book appear to be easy reading.
