A lot of TGM teaching seems to emphasise the down and out motion and neglects the up and in part. Is this what you were trying to tell him?
1-L-13,14,&15, 2-J-3, and 5-0 are brilliant. There should be emphasis on these things, but all of it should be kept in context. It shouldn't be exaggerated into a flaw. I think in anything, one can put the em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LA-ble.
The Follow Through was a downstream result. We worked only on the Start Up and Backstroke. "As it goes up, so it tends to come down."
I witnessed one of the self-proclaimed TGM prophets, after his daily walk on water, teaching the "up and in" part, and I was underwhelmed. The student ended up looking like a compass drawing a circle on a piece of paper. The sharp circle of balls that he laid on the ground looked like it would have required a very short radius on a very flat plane.

That was worth the price of admission for today's lesson. Great stuff Ted!
I am really enjoying the transformations all ya'll are posting, as well as the lessons in southern english...

Thanks for all this great stuff Ted.
The fella you mentioned, Im trying to figure him out. I had a similar lesson once that confounded me until I met you guys. Was he teaching a covering of the Arc of Approach but with an Arc that was too tight and not a visual equivalent? Its comforting to know that some A.I.'s dont fully understand 2-J-3 cause I sure struggle with it.

I don't understand the arc of approach procedure at all for the visual equivalent. I have searched and read threads, its just not getting through to me, I think I need to have someone show me to grasp it. I am slower than most I guess.

Yes, he was. I thought it looked ridiculous. But, I was only a G.S.E.B. and he was a G.S.E.D. I thought that he knew what he was doing, which was a bad assumption on my part.
I was terribly disappointed that 2-J-3 was misunderstood at the highest levels of TGM. I was given falsehoods as truth. It's one of the many reasons that I am no longer an "Authorized" Golfing Machine Instructor.

Thank God for Lynn.
Its sad to see some GSEDs trying to kill the basic tenants of Mr. Kelley's work for the sole reason of making themselves look like pioneers. False prophets?
LBG Certified / Master must feel great to have by your name, that still means something!

If they keep telling themselves that they are the best in the world or that they are the only ones that can teach TGM, maybe it will come true.
I'd rather my epitaph say, "He loved helping people succeed", instead of "Egomaniac with an inferiority complex."

I'm feeling a little badly about this post. There are also GREAT GSEDs like our friend Paul Hart, and many wonderful GSEBs and GSEMs as well. I didn't mean to put them down as a group, and I feel I did. My apologies to all!
