[efnef]

The Italian guy helped me a lot with no band aids. I've got a flw, a straight plane line and LAG.

I did much like you efnef, I started with Ben Doyle's tire lesson from this site and did not move on until I could execute a chip, pitch and punch without flipping the tire over and without looking down the shaft. I was a decent player before I started with the TGM ideas, now I am a lot better. I'm sorry but I just don't see any bandaids in that. I don't see how anyone that thinks the 3 imperatives are the ticket could be a band-aider. It simply takes a lot of time and dedication to get those right.

Ummm... once again, the shortcomings of attempting to participate in internet written communication... I guess I was not clear. My initial response was to the remark, "Whatever works." I did not say that the three imperatives were a band aid. I agree with you 100%. It takes time and dedication. Build the swing on a solid foundation. Quick fixes are here today, gone tomorrow.

I think I need a vacation from internet forums.
