Teaching from the 7th....
The point of my post is to try and understand Tomasello's teaching approach and how it relates to the new info in the 7th edition. I don't want this tread to turn into a debate about AI teaching styles...I would like to see the new addition of the term FULL POWER and my question about the paragraph in 12-5-3 debated.

In Ben Doyle's foreward...in the second to Last paragraph Ben mentions "One of the Nation's most highly regarded teachers told me in 1973 that I was "ten years ahead us." My point is...by having the 7th edition notes did Tomasello have an insight to Homer's final analysis that others did not...by 1991 was Tomasello "eight years ahead us."

Golf Illustrated contacted Tom Tomasello to do an interview about TGM...I would have to believe GI contacted Tommy because he was getting good results with his students. Bottom line. Can we trace this to a 7th edition influence years before its release.

So, what's the problem with developing a MY WAY approach from TGM...there could be several excellent MY WAY programs developed from TGM...so WHAT. The bottom line is developing a set of compatable components per a hitting or swinging stroke pattern...

I believe Tomasello was developing a highly integrated approach that would allow a player to use both hitting and swinging and the three hinge actions easily to creatively generate any shot...both powerful long shots and the most creative short shots. To me that's TGM in a nutshell (Creative freedom on the golf course).
