Interesting post, Richie.
I align with TGM because it has worked for me. It works for me personally and it is working very well for the kids I assist through coaching activities.
The discussion about whether or not TGM is scientifically based is one in which I will not participate. I take it at face value and come to LBG every day to learn more from those that know what they are writing about.
Thanks for everything to all of you TGMers that contribute to this. Without this, the golf portion of my life would still be in what I consider my Dark Ages.
Regards.
You need to learn to read, as i never said he was wrong i said he might just learn something. This is the typical knee jerk re-action from a closed minded person, always defensive, what are you scared of science?
...and you wonder why nobody wants to attend your anti-golf symposium. WOW, sounds like fun.

How do you know it's more about ego than learning, you are making assumptions with no proof as the symposium hasn't even taken place. Seems to be a pattern of resistance for no reason based in reality.
In order to have friends, you must be a friend. Post a video and we'll talk about it.

Footwedge and Changemyswing - Y'all are welcome here and we've been down this path so many times it's not worth getting spun up about.
This site and Lynn's teaching continue to decode Kelley's work. Without a complete understanding of Kelleys TGM, it is difficult if not impossible to apply current science to the facts. You have to have a complete understanding first and then go test it. Other teachers have facts and are applying science to them. That's great! But if they don't have their facts straight then the science is only verifying misinformation.
I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, in fact the majority of golf science is likely rooted in bad assumptions to begin with.
There is a place for both.
Good fundamental facts and current science to illuminate it further.

Science doesn't verify misinformation it disqualifies it. You have an idea or a theory than you put it to a series of tests to prove it or disprove it, with no predujice towards the results, some things can be right and some can be wrong or all can be right or all can be wrong. Homer's work falls in the first of those.
Science verifies a hypothesis. If the hypothesis is fundamentally flawed, then whatever conclusions are drawn are suspect or also flawed.
As a general policy, we don't disparage other teachers on this site. It's been so long since we've had a "camp" war, I thought all of this was behind us. Looks like this is headed in the wrong direction.
I'll close by saying, I hope Brian and Mike have a successful seminar and that they do indeed advance the knowledge of TGM.
This thread is closed.
