No I don't think anyone did but the one nut in all my TGM years to define is the role of the pivot in relation with the hands. Its the first thing taught by TGM, hands control the pivot but the pivot moves the hands so go straighten that out. Other then a small chip shot with flying wedges set and the motion almost all pivot, you have to have own some pretty untrained hands to be in the pivot controlled hands world.

So we have no enemies only teachers-Ed z's line is good. With a 10.7 hcp. index I still have a lot to learn. That will get better as my chipping/sand game becomes routine with the use of the vertically un-cocking left wrist.

So I was sitting next to one of our coaches who had an online article he wrote about a local tournament. Says he's a seven hcp. I mentioned my lack of distance and he said he was a big Ben Hogan fan and spoke about how he tuned left by pulling his elbow left but the ball position has to be forward. Which sounds similar to Whip's bumping the hip and pulling it behind me.

So tomorrow I'll trace and march heel/heel and try a few shots pulling the elbow left as a down swing like stepping and swinging a bat. I know I can use the aiming point to the ball or to a location and I understand the priority of a hands controlled pivot. I know McHatton speaks of stepping left too. I might discover the secret is as simple as deciding to hit the ball further with the aiming point.

Report back soon. Thanks guys.
