[8cork]

I talked with Bobby Shave today. He is as excited about helping golfers as he has always been, and it was fun renewing our friendship (see post #39 here http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ill+mehlho rn ).

I first learned of Bill Mehlhorn and his teachings through Bobby's book in August of 1990 and have been an advocate ever since. I have only now learned there is video available of Bill demonstrating his system, and to help me help my students, I today ordered the videos/book combination package http://mehlhorngolf.com/products/bookdvds.html.

Also, I ordered Bobby's custom Mehlhorn's Grass Whip swing aid. http:/dent /mehlhorngolf.com/product...grasswhip.html . For those who may think that the 'Grass Whip' Approach is just a gimmick, I respectfully remind them that, in addition to Harvey Penick's ringing endorsement in his Little Red Book, http://www.amazon.com/Harvey-PenickS.../dp/0671759922 Hale Irwin's father taught him to play using exactly that. In fact, that aspect of Hale's early training was featured in a Golf Digest cover article some many moons ago.

Finally, I am pleased to say that Mehlhorn Golf products are now available to LBG members at a 20 percent discount. Just drop Bobby a line at info@mehlhorngolf.com, tell him which products you want and that you're a friend of Lynn Blake Golf. That will do it.

Thanks Lynn,
I got out in the yard today swinging my weedcutter, first with a split grip, then with both hands together. What a great feeling to transfer to a golf ball. It gave me the same sensations that I get when following Jeff Hulls instruction from the video series. I would like to know Jeff's impression of this training device.
