Matt,

Do you really think that a personal rant is the best thing to give to someone new to TGM?

It seems to me that a newbie would want to learn something fairly simple and concrete like maintaining the tripod, flying wedges, on plane, etc.

That wasn't a personal rant - trust me... If I was writing a personal rant, I wouldn't be as sedate.

I think that it extremely benefitial to those that might be motivated to become highly educated in the golf stroke mechanics to know exactly what happens if you achieve your goal of understanding the golf stroke to a very high degree and to expect the unpopularity it brings so that they can expect it. Anytime you know more than someone else and they know it - you generally do recieve nothing but negativity.
