I played golf for nearly 4 years and never have a swing coach. The reason is simply - not rich. Besides, coaching standard in Hong Kong is not so good; “return your club head to the address position”; “hit the back at the ball””swing slowly”etc etc… I learnt by watching on-line Golf channel academy live; DVDs; books, and practice with purpose on range.
Results was not bad, I can only play 4-5 rounds on course and driving range practice per month and I managed to break 100 within the 1st year and 90 on the 2nd year. However, the more I viewed the golf channel and dvds, the more I found that swing tips were contrary from different famous coaches.
I kept track with the internet and found out The plane truth by J. Hardy. I ordered through local large book store before published. It seems that the book concluded why there are so many different theories regarding the swing, so you have two set of fundamentals for 1 & 2 plane swing.
Guess what? I scored 100+ for trying to swing one plane…..swing plane swing plane….what am I doing????? Google again…an article regarding swing plane by Paul Smith, I dug into and TGM; HK (Homer Kelly not Hong Kong); Chuck Evans; Brain and then Lynn. Of course I brought the yellow book online.
Tunes of free or charged videos, passionate discussion let me improve a lot. I swear I drove 30 yards more; I knew what 3 imperatives are and the secret of playing good golf. Since then, I have so many chances to break 80!
I also made friends with AI of Hong Kong and Leo and I shares so many good information to my friends what is TGM. SO many folks want to know more. I read every night on your site and Brain’s site (reviewed from Day One), I saw happiness photos of you; nice discussion against anit-TGM guys…I also planned to save money and take long leave to visit both of you. (Very expensive for a poor golfer lives in Hong Kong)
Nevertheless, I knew something happed, I am sad. I missed good old days such as discussion over Horton….
Now, the tripod issue is hot and I saw so many different pictures and lines. As a weekend golfer, what should we do?!

KOC,
Wipe that tear from your eye and rejoice in the freedom that is The Golfing Machine.
Go to the Adam Scott sequence in Post #72 of the Tripod Vote thread and be glad that someone else far more qualified than Brian or me -- Homer Kelley -- went before and solved the Golf Problem for all people and for all time.
