[Delaware Golf]

My friend Jim Percherke a Footjoy Rep in DC Area was a student of a Tommy throughout his college career...just told me today....that Tommy told him quote...."Listen Pally...You can't withdraw that right hip quick enough...remember withdraw the right hip... raise the right arm ...lower the right arm...zip the left hip" ....We changed it recently.... to a RFT w/ a delayed hip action

Interesting that you bumped into him today....

Annikan...I've got something better...why don't we listen to the MAN himself..

Direct quotes from Tomasello...In Tommy's studio (Deer Track Golf Resort).

The conversation is between DG and Tomasello exactly 12 years...

Tomasello:....for a chip shot it's the forearm (right forearm), then we get to the Pitch shots it's still the right forearm, and then we get a little further back (Full Swing), the right forearm going up pulls the shoulders, the shoulders pull the hips...Now when we reverse that right... (Tomasello demonstrates the forward swing) bang!!! So the forward golf swing is merely a reversal---IN ORDER(Tomasello raises the tone of his voice)...in order see...(right forearm start down)...Alright, now what was the first move when going backward....the forearm.

DG: The Right Forearm

Tomasello: The forearm, the forearm...Now the forearm pulls the shoulders that pulls the hips....

DG: That's your delayed hip action.

Tomasello: You got it....
