I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, but first I want to say that I feel priveleged for having found a resource such as this devoted to the game. To be surrounded by people that demonstrate such passion and devotion to the game of golf is an honor, and the very reason I love this the game.
I am relatively new to the game of golf (six years or so now), and I am very new to golf as defined in Mr. Kelley's ingenious acronym. I have slogged through the book twice now, and bits of comprehension are beginning to trickle through the fog of pressure points, power accumulators, planes, hinges, etc. and my excitement for the method is building daily. I have begun to apply what little I feel confident that I understand, and I have already seen possitive results.
I was hoping that some of you could offer up your ideas on how best to proceed in applying the method to my game. I know that there is no substitute for meeting with a TGM insructor, but I fear that even with my rudimentary understanding I may be the leading expert on TGM in the Green Mountain State. I will track down a TGM instructor eventually, but in the meantime I would love some virtual council.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you, and I'm extremely excited to have found this place.
Four Winds,
Haven

Well, welcome to the forum and TGM in general man.
I'll say flat-out that you're right in saying that this is the real deal.
Just remember that progress is not always in a straight line. Your learning will be have ups and downs- much like a stock market (BUT with TGM it will be like a FLOURISHING stock market!...ups and downs but always on the rise in general ...hehe, not bad eh ).
Just stick with it man. Everyone here will help.
It's taken me under a year to become pretty damn proficient with it. All it takes is some curiosity, an open mind, and a will to figure out this game that borders a bit on obsession.
You're right, these TGM forums are 'different', eh?
