I will be making a presentation on The Golfing Machine to the Rhode Island/ New England PGA this Fall. I have 90 minutes to make an Impact and change the way golf instruction is viewed in New England. What do you think I should present???
How about including the progression from Basic to Acquired to Total motion? Seems to me that would be very accessible and is a great way to start out students. It would be a great example that would be instantly applicable within each pro's own teaching.

Well first of all, do not wear a Yankee Cap at the presentation.
I would bring with you a qualified golfer and make him your student that you rehearsed with prior to the event.
Bring dowels for stance and plane line. Show how extensor action brings the power package to the top and shows the shoulders how to turn.
Cover all the imperatives and some common faults that students do.
You have to captivate the audience, so demonstration is key......

First,"sustain the line of compression" and then "sustain the lag" to "sustain the line of compression". Also, the TGM's "ball flight law".
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

As someone who is an experience golfer but TGM newbie this would clearly get my vote. This is one of the toughest things to fully comprehend, but fairly easy to digest. I believe a lot of non-TGM teaching pros would benefit substantially from a better understanding of this concept.
