I am not implying you don't teach well, just wondering how useful that sort of information is, I mean I know what extensor action is, but no idea what chapter number is, that doesn't stop me using it though?

A STUDENT doesn't need to know but a TEACHER needs to organize his mind to understand the material to the fullest. Once organized the teacher sees the book as a small file that is instantly easy to open. Students,at first, see it as a batch of notes tossed randomly in a shoebox. Organize.

Good luck on class
I plan to attend one next year (move to NY in the summer) and was wondering if it would be of benefit to come visit Lynn beforehand.

What do you think? Anyone?

Any experience with an AI will help prior to a school and a visit to Lynn maybe the best of the best as far as getting a leg up on the school.
I always approached it in a way that any additional insight into the book was going to help me, even if I did not interpret the insight from someone else the same as they did.

Get all the experience you can.

Kevin,

Come see me.

Especially if you aspire to becoming a 'credentialed' TGM Instructor...

Come see me.

There is TGM 'between the covers,' and there is more. Much more.

Today I turned 60.

I expect to be around a good while longer.

But if I am not...

And if you forego my training, yet continue to pursue a future in TGM...

Then, in time, you will regret that decision for the rest of your life.

Braggadocio?

No.

It is a decision I made for myself in December 1981 when Homer Kelley called from across the country and said "Come see me."

I couldn't afford it. And I had no real business doing it. I was a 'middle income' earner with a non-working wife and three kids. I was not even a golf pro for cryin' out loud. But do it I did, and it changed my life.

Thirteen months later...

Homer Kelley was dead.

And now, he lives on. Through my personal work with students, public presentations and this website, the lives of hundreds, even thousands, of others have also changed.

No complaints.

No regrets.

Come see me.
