I really need to get to Cuscowilla for more training. I couldn't come close to accomplishing all that in one session...

Fortunately for me, Sean fell into the latter category. He is a true seeker, every astute, articulate and a fine person.
With Sean’s permission, the following is brief outline of some of the things we discussed:
His athletic background and physical condition.
His Golfing Goals
The Four Prerequisites that should take place during the lesson.
Making changes and their different sensations.
The Geometry of the Circle and the player’s responsibility in creating a Three Dimensional Impact as well as the Clubs responsibility.
The three Functions of the Club and their corresponding Imperatives.
Basic Motion.
Impact Fix, setting the Flying Wedges, and their relationship to the Address and Balance.
We determined that Sean is a Hitter based on his own beliefs as well as his Loading Action at the Top and his active use of the Right Arm.
The normal condition of the Arms, especially maintaining the Flying Wedges at least until Follow Through.
Homer’s simple idea of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach.
We studied pictures of great ball strikers from the past.
The precise use and feel of certain Pressure Points (Direct Drive #1 and Indirect Drive #3)
The motion of the Right shoulder down plane and the avoidance of running out of my right arm because of a Flat Downstroke Shoulder Turn and its resulting Clubhead Throwaway.
How Over-Acceleration Kills Alignments and Lag.
Drills, Drills, Drills
The TGM secret handshake.
Not booking another lesson until certain things happen.
I am sure we talked about more than I have listed. Above all else, Sean hit some beautiful shots that sounded and looked different, which made us both happy .

People are suffering out there without a "motion that makes the shot".
And why is he saying those terrible things about Mike O.?
We discussed letting the Motion Make the Shot, but you knew we would.
Also, I gave Sean a copy of my secret files on the forum members, which he agreed to destroy after memorizing. They contain all the infomation on who can and can not be trusted .

Secret hand shakes. Secret files on members. You showed Sean a lot of stuff for a first lesson, there Drew.
Did you show him Hogan's secret too? HOw bout Kim Jong-IL's X Classification Release Throw? Tell him what type of golf ball is on the moon? Is the Colonels secret recipe still known only to the free world?
We need the Truth! How many beans did you spill in that session anyways?
Once the correct compression of the ball on the moon is revealed to him at sea level in New England. I will attempt to lyricise important swing thoughts for his fav tune once I learn Kevin's George Strait tune.
And Jerry, I have you pegged as a Guess Who or Dooby Bros. man.
"American Golfer, stay away from meeeee
American hacker buddy let me beee
Don't come flippin around my door
I don't need your shanks no more..."
Anyway Jerry, you can see how it just bubbles up at odd moments.
Sean, rock the golf practice, baby!

Told you so!!!! Drew is one of the very best Machinists out there! Stick with it/him man . . . . life will change.
I worked on my short game this morning and can feel/see the results. The full swing will take a bit more getting used to. I started TGM as well. I don't claim to understand all of it, but Drew created a great picture for me to get me on the right road. I'm looking forward to my journey.

The world wants to know........."who is Drew Chapman?" And why is he saying those terrible things about Mike O.?
I haven't uploaded video but I think I can figure it out. Maybe after my next lesson, and if Drew as time, I could show him?

Yes, thanks to Drew I now know all of your secrets but, in the spirit of TGM, they will remain just that: secret.

I got a hold of the good guy - bad guy list. Very disappointing. Don't click the link if you don't have a thick skin...
Drew's List
To be honest, Rick needs a little help with his Hula-Hula flexibility to be able to move on the range like I do. His two assistants, however, have potential.
