My idea was rather that I can't wait to get it all (which I probably never will) & that getting info from different sources is probably more efficient time-wise. I would think that a session with Ben and Lynn are quite different experiences, but that they are sharing the same solid TGM base. Which is excellent.

I've had my fair share of incompable advice before. Seeing several different individuals (Ben, Lynn, Chuck) and experiencing that they share the same foundation (TGM) is actually (and unfortunately) something quite unique.

I'd also like to see Brian and David Laville (who does not seem to teach, but is an interesting character) - one day also. I am pretty sure that the two are again pretty new experiences but still sticking to TGM - each in their way.

In short: Several different AI's, each with different personality and presentation, but all sharing the same cookbook (TGM) should sound fantastic to all confused golfers on the planet - each "spending eons of man years trying to eliminate effect instead of cause".

stimpson,

I can only give you what I can as far as some direction. Here is the deal and you and everyone else can cipher through it and make a logical decision if one applies sound reasoning.

Due to many costs attached to the first Workshop in St. Augustine that Lynn, Chuck and myself put together, the cost was something like $1500. This included range, breakfast, lunch and one awards ceremony honoring the recipient of the first Homer Kelley Award winner. I would doubt that the party and fellowship shared that evening will ever be duplicated again.

With the above being said, not included in the above cost was rooms. The situation I am in is one that is possibly unique. You have a Golfing Machine fan who likes golf and loves people. At my disposal is a Resort, 36 holes of golf and a machine in place that has the marketing, sales and staff to rock some boats. This blessing that has been given to me creates an opportunity for me to do things that many in golfdom cannot only do but actually refuse to do. Not only that but I wanted to up the ante whereby you can not only work on your swing but I have provided the opportunity for the mental game to be developed. This was quite the perfect substitution for yours truly because I cannot commit to being there every minute. Now the parties and having some beers, count me in.

So I encourage you to make a list of pros and cons. Put your pencil to the cost. Then to top it off, I will provide you with all the contacts from the First Workshop. I will give you numbers to speak with Dr. Carey, Chuck and you know how to reach Lynn here.

I assure you that if you make the call to come, that you will walk away understanding your swing and golf like you have never experienced before and if not, I will make it right.

Thanks for your time.

Randy
