How much is 3,654 times 456 ?
I don't have to memorize the answer to be a great mathmatician.
I do know how to solve that problem.
This was an example that Homer gave.
Remember that musical group that learned that top hit by rote.
They did't speak any English.

Denny,

How much do you think it would help you if you could see immediately the errors that students are making in their Downstroke - the 8th section of the swing.

Of which their mechanical checklist would be...

Extensor Action
Aiming Point - Lag
Left Wrist Position
Delivery Line
Right Elbow Position
Rhythm

And how would you know unless you have memorized it?

Memorizing the principles of TGM is akin to memorizing basic mathematical operations.

Teaching these TGM principles would be akin to applying your mathematical operations in finding out what the value of 3,654 times 456 is - which incidentally is 1,666,224...

Believe me buddy, there is a HUGE difference when you have the PRECISION to pinpoint a problem and when you "sort of know it".

When you know that you know and when your student knows that you know - things happen.

I should know...

I experienced it myself.
