OK, I am still here.

Matt hooked me up with an AI about 45 minutes from me here in WI.

Have had 4 lessons so far.

I've been into TGM for about 1 1/2 years. Read the book 3 times, read almost all of Manzella, Evans, TGM and this website. Watched Tomasello many times, and Manzella and Evans DVDs.

There is no substitute for an AI, even if he is a GSEB.

I had the ideas correct in my head, but I wasn't executing them. By the 4th lesson, we began making some progress. I wasn't understanding what he was trying to get me to do.

Scores since beginning AI: 81, 88, 76, 83, 45, 45, 39, 41, 83. Very similar scores to last year, BUT I am beginning to understand why my ball is going where it is.

Started with basic motion and progressed from there. When I do it right, I hit driver 280 and 5 iron 185. I've had multiple comments lately on my ballstriking.

Thanks all for your comments and support.
