I have noticed that you are not so active in the forum lately (and that your daily average has dropped from 4,03 down to 3,90) and that makes me wonder if everything is well?
Please enjoy the music as you read my response below.
After hitting the recent 9,000 post mark, maybe I just decided to sit and stare and rock!
Naah . . .
No problemo on my end: I'm teaching at Cuscowilla from early AM to dusk every day. The nights are full, too, with people and events I could not script (including my wife and, on occasion, my daughter, son-in-law -- "bought boat will travel" -- and five grandkids!).
Also, I've been heavily involved in the logistics of bringing my team of five Lynn Blake Certified Master Professionals to Plainfield CC (NJ) this August (our sixth year) for The Barclays, an $8,000,000 PGA TOUR event and the first in the FeEdExCup Series. This includes working with Barclays project managers to design the ideal floor plan of our dedicated The Barclays Golf Academy pavilion directly off the 18th green.
Not to mention a terrific amount of teaching, curriculums design, and admin re my Lynn Blake Certified Instructor program. Plus my upcoming Pro Instructor training next week in NJ. And, the following Monday at Memphis with Grant Robbins, U of M men's golf coach, and his selected participants.
Then, with Brian Gay and his caddie Kip Henley Tuesday-Wednesday, both playing in the Memphis St. Jude on the PGA TOUR. Kip, a Class 'A' Tennessee Section PGA professional, took a week off the bag before the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, shot 10-under-par, and won the 2010 Tennessee PGA Section Championship. Hence, his exemption into the Memphis St. Jude.
There's a story here.
Player and Caddie.
Mano a mano.
Can't make it up.
Always, Air, you are in my thoughts. You are the quintessential, high-handicap amateur who always thought himself doomed to a low golf life . . . one, let's say, 'less lived by'.
Then comes you and me.
We've got this thing by the neck, Air. Now, lets just choke it to death!
Twenty-three hours separate us on the lesson tee, but . . .

Alignments are forever!
Talk soon!
Live long Lynn, and prosper!

That's 0,13 posts per day the last 16 days and counting...That's not like you.
I'm glad you are busy and giving your students your full attention, but I think I speak for us all when I say that we miss your daily (4) posts on the forum. But at least we have a 9000 pluss treasure to explore..
You gotta understand, Air, that Yoda (almost) has posted everything he is able to put down in words already - at least in this forum format. Maybe that's not true but that's how it looks to me anyway.
The volume he has produced over the years with serious content is massively impressive and I figure he feels like any "new" question that pops up today is some variation of a question he has spent a lot of time and effort into on several occasions earlier.
To produce a response that lives up to his usual standards probably takes a lot of time even though it seems like he can quote the ins and out of every TGM edition in his sleep.

I could've spent not just 4 days with Yoda, but 30 days just absorbing the subtleties of the golf stroke and his insights. His posts, within the framework of TGM all reinforce the essential observation that the golf swing is logical and easily described by those who think carefully. Lynn's posts are amazing.
