I have just returned to England and did not have much access to a computer in the States hence my delayed post.
The Canton experience was fantastic. I learned things that I could NEVER have found out left to my own devices and left the boot camp with a crystal clear blueprint of what I had to work on. I can not tell you how valuable that is. Instead of practicing some good things and junk. I will be practicing the right things. I have got clarity of mind instead of questions and doubt . All my golf energies from now on are being directed along the right path. No more wasted man hours and energy on the working on a mix of good and bad things. A friend of mine Emailed me on at the end of the first day to find out if I felt I was getting value out of the $1500 investment in the course. I wrote back that I would have paid $1500 for what I learned in the first day alone and as far as I was concerned days two and three were a bonus. Each teacher had a different style of teaching and I soaked up information from all of them. The instructors hit my personal swing issues from different directions which was not confusing and I found the combined teaching more helpful than if I was getting the information from one source. Brian wanted me to shift my downstroke plane line left and demonstrated some novel ways of doing it , Lynn taught me the swinger's swivel, Ben's bunker session had delayed reaction where I was doing the right things he taught me a couple of hours without even realising it, Ted worked on my major wobble ( Bad initial hip movement at start down) Most of my faults were a PRODUCT of this fault where I developed a steering action shifting my plane line right to counter destructive hard pulled left shots. Mikestloc provided me with a visual image of the swingers stroke pattern . His swing has to be seen to be believed. I watch it all the time. They all taught me much more than this but these are the main points that I got from them. I have much work to do but so far my swing looks much better. Strangers on practice grounds are commenting on it. I am MUCH longer and MUCH straighter and seem to knocked off about 3 strokes from my HC already. I have a lot of work to still do but inside I know I am on the right track and will get better and better and I am excited about it. This TGM stuff WORKS.Those 3 days in Canton have changed my life . . Also the students on the course were a great bunch of guys. The whole thing was first rate. Mathew did a fantastic job as the host at his golfclub. He put a lot of effort in getting the event running smoothly and this was much appreciated. He also gave me a lesson on my backstroke hip action. ( I was not turning my hips enough) I would like the thank all those that helped me
