Guys, I told you that you'd be hearing from INDIA soooon. Meghna who was with Lynn earlier this year and came back to India and had me cement what she learnt from Lynn during her three day stay at Marietta, won the Northern India Ladies title with a margin of 12, thats right 12 strokes. Played solid and didnt even let the competetion get anywhere close. Well done Lynn.

Congratulations Vikram,
How about sharing with us what Lynn taught this potential LPGA player?
More interesting and useful would be how you "cemented" what Lynn taught - pretty sure the forum faithful will appreciate how to incorporate TGM principles into their own games.

Great news, Vik. Thanks for posting and for your continued fine work with Meghna Bal!
Most of all, congratulations to Meghna on her wonderful victory at the 39th Ladies Northern India Golf Championship at the Delhi Golf Club in New Delhi, India. She's a hard worker with a very supportive family. Megs and her father, Rajiv, have continued to stay in touch since our Swamp sessions, and I could not be happier for them.

Congrats once more!
Thanks Justin,
She was totally new to TGM when she went to Yoda and till today relishes the time spent with him and thanks me no end for suggesting Lynn to her. What she really succumbed to were Lynn's words in as much meaning if she came back ten years later she would see Lynn teaching the same things and which she realized were the TRUTH. That is what actually changed the way she thought and channelled her mind to work on without any doubts on her mind. She now had a direction in what to work on instead theories to 'try' out. Lots of the fog was cleared and a new motivated Meghna emerged. What Lynn taught her to do is all in the book but to elaborate it was the FLW, the hinge actions and their effect on ball flight. They hit hundreds of balls in basic, acquired and total motion to understand these actions. Lots of dowel drills and impact alignments were explained.
She had a complete knowledge of what and how things work in the swing. She was tremendously focussed in accomplishing what she had to achieve - and we did. Hours on the range with me watching her she looked, looked, and looked till she got it right and kept going. Eventually she set her wedges and the FLW through impact giving her the results that she desired. Hours of mental work went in to manage her emotions and thought process in which "Every shot must have a purpose" played a great role. A lot left to do and cement even further. Lets hope she will get what she wants to acheive further in her Golfing career.
No substitute to hard work!!! After all where theres a will theres a way - The TGM way.
Vikram.

Vikram,
That is good mental stuff. What you believe will be reflected in your actions.
That is the Mental Advantage - knowing full well that what you believe in is based on something as untenable as the universal laws of physics and geometry.
How about the "Mechanical Advantage" that you were telling me over the phone?
Since 99% of golfers always want more distance, your exposition will be eagerly awaited by us!
For those that are not aware, Vik's student JJ recently won a Long Drive contest with other top amateurs in competition. JJ is a small lad by American standards, about 1.72m or 5'6. He won it with a blast of 314 yards.
My conclusion? Its either something in the food they eat, or something that Viki is teaching them from the Book...

Thanks Compda,
Building confidence in ones self is one of the most difficult things to do in golf. It really boils down to beleiving you can hit the good shot instead of fearing the bad one. All of us have had bad ones I repeat ALL OF US, But rarely do we have confidence in ourselves to produce the good one when it mattes most. It maybe a drive, long iron, a chip,pitch, bunker shot or even a 4 foot putt. Negativity rules and plagues the mind. One always produces a tentative execution of mental and physical ability. The fact lies in that ability of the mind to clarify the process of thinking positive and rationally. This is what I worked with on Meghna and all my other students - The power of the 'computer'.
The mechanical advantage that Lynn spoke to Meghna was the snap release. She worked on it with me for a couple of months, gained strength in her forearm and wrists to withold the release of the trigger to the max that she can presently handle and beleive me hits it 25 yards further on the driver, and that is a big advantage from her previous ability. Max trigger delay is a dangerous mention in the book and people may try to overdo it simply because MAX is what people will strive for in the swing, be it pwoer, distance or delay, so tread with caution fellas - you need to be supple and strong at the same time to use it effectively - Just like my friend JUSTIN. If you wanna see anyone WHIP it , watch him. He has posted a photo of him in that position on the forum and i have been fortunate enough to witness the cccrrraaaaack!!!.
Looking for back to back wins from Meghna who is playing again this week - presently at second position after round one in the Eastern India Championship. I am not with her as in the last win but I am sure she knows what to do to win.
As for JJ, he naturally drag loads and snap releases. He can really turn the screws loose when he wants to have a go- and so he did. 314yds into a 10mph headwind is quite a snap. Its not in the food Justin its in the hands - THE HANDS!!!
Cheers!!
Vik

Guys, I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am.
Another piece of information, Vikram is the National Coach of the Indian Golf Team.
Come 1st December, he will be leading his troops out in Doha for the Asian Games - the most prestigious sporting event in Asia.
As Viki has pointed out, the Snap Release is mentioned in the book just like the Bending Left Wrist is.
They are mentioned because TGM being a catalog, catalogs what can happen, what ought to happen and what should not happen.
It also prescribes warnings of side effects to the use of certain procedures.
Nonetheless, for physically disadvantaged players (small build, low hand speed etc) the short, quick arc of the Maximum Trigger Delay produces yardage equivalent to players with high hand speed (i.e Tiger Woods) utilizing the Full Sweep or Random Sweep procedures.

Yes Justin I was nominated to be the coach to lead India into the Asian Games beacuse I have Three out of seven players on that team. Thanks Justin for all your good and kind words for me and all of us here in India. They are all TGM exponents and have all excelled at one time or another and ratehr frequently after stating to work with me. And I can safely say that it is TGM that has got them and me to where I and they are today. What really worked with all of us is simply one thought. Beleive in the truth and get closer to it as you possibly can. TGM's clarity has cleared the stream of thought towards acheiving the truth of the essentials and imperatives no matter what hurdles one encounters to reach them. Miss the ball if you have to but adhere to the essentials and imperatives and eventually you shall prevail. Its been tough for all my students to accept in the beginning but when you see the smile on their faces when they comply to those alignments of impact, they neednt even look where the ball is headed, they know where its headed.
I have now a few very promising players in the stable and its not going to be long before I hear from the fellow teaching pros saying " What on earth are you teaching these guys Vik? How about sharing some with us too". And as I have mentioned in my earlier posts, when you see a guy teaching what you've been teaching you know you've changed it all.
