New to Golfing Machine - Where to start.

[well01]

Hi all.
I am new to the golfing machine and new to this forum. I am planning on attending the schools in February for Level 1 and Level 2. I am trying to get prepared for the school and learn as much about the golfing machine as I can. Where should I start??

I have started to read the book but I am finding it difficult to follow

Start with a question?


Look at the chapter and section headings in the book- does anything jump out at you?

The Imperatives? The machine concept of 1-L? How about the preface? Kelley's preface has more golf information in it then most entire golf books?

Why is a flat wrist important?
What is the difference between the physics of the stroke and the geometry of the stroke? How many are there?

what are pressure points?

Besides reading the book- go lightly with it at first. Read past threads and see what interests you and - Ask a question. It is a long and fascinating path

For a TGM for "Dummies" guide- the videos are some of the best in the tgm golf world.

Having attended and passed both schools you will be attending, all I can say is that you will have a great time and you will learn so much. As far as getting prepared for school 1 I would take time to get a good understanding of the terms located in the "glossary". Most of the 1st day will consist of getting the definitions down. Next I would follow the outline that you will be presented prior to going. As always starting with the outine given in the preface of the book as to how you should follow the chapters and topics. Finally, be prepared for a lot of writting each evening. The questions for the exam will have you writting until your hands bleed! Stay ahead of the game and do as much answering of the questions as you can each day. I promise you will get a great deal of information from the experience. Enjoy!

Read the Forward and Preface. The suggested approach to the book is on page x.

I have a copy that I tabbed for easier reading using the lists provided.

You can also look up EdZ and check out his suggestions on how to approach the book.

Congratulations on finding the yellow book. You will be amazed at what you will learn in a very short time. Stick with it.

Also, great suggestion on the gallery. Plenty of information there to help you with the terminology.

Good luck.
