[Yoda]

Well stated, Yoda. Eventually it will click.

That it will, Rich. We are not testing The Golfing Machine... The Golfing Machine is testing us.

My driving last Friday was a display of mechanical perfection I did not think possible. At least not by me. But it was. However, it would not -- indeed, it could not -- have been accomplished without a system that I knew I could rely on, one that could be counted on to produce its fruit over time.

Building a fine Golf Stroke takes years of dedicated study and practice. There simply is no real alternative except to stay with it until you have finally correctly interpreted the Principles and integrated the Procedures you have chosen to implement them. In the meantime, especially in the dark hours, you must keep the faith. That is what I did, and on at least this one fine Friday afternoon, I was able to hammer my flag into the summit.

Was it worth it? All the hours, all the effort, all the sacrifice?

Yes...

Yes, it was.
