My Lesson With Drew. :-)

I had my lesson with Drew today. He's a real gentleman. He gave me something I haven't had in a long time in golf: hope. The man really knows the golf swing. I've had lessons in the past, but none have been so thorough and explained in a way that I could really understand. This is what we covered today:

--Flat left wrist, bent right wrist.
--Flying wedge.
--Waist bend.
--Pressure points.
--Right shoulder down plane.
--If I hit the ball fat I've run out of my right arm.
--If I hit the ball right I came up out of my posture and my right shoulder not down and through.

I know I have a lot of work to do, and I need to be patient, but Drew has given me some tools to work with. Things feel different, much different. My stance feels more athletic, and when I implement the flying wedge, flat left wrist, and bent right wrist the results are startling. It feels...strange. I need to work on it regularly so it doesn't feels so strange but becomes second nature. Drew also gave me a copy of TGM!

One last thing Drew taught me was the TGM secret handshake.

By far it was the best lesson I've ever had. Drew is a master of his craft and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting to learn the swing. Drew was a true gentleman and a consummate professional. I look forward to my next lesson...but not until I've worked on what we discussed!

Sean, geometry is one of God's way of telling you you are never ever lost or alone, even on a golf course!

Isn't it amazing how naturally and logically the pieces of the geometric concepts fit together!

Too bad it's still snowing in Boston, LMAO!

Sheer grooviness!

It feels different, but it feels right. It's a foreign move for me and will take some getting used to.

The snow is melting.

Told you so!!!! Drew is one of the very best Machinists out there! Stick with it/him man . . . . life will change.

Hit the ball fat, it means too much right arm...the right arm outpacing the pivot.

Hit the ball thin, hips/lower body have out paced the arms/right arm.

Totally the opposite of what was mentioned.

Not sure y'all are talking about the same component.

Drew, GREAT JOB, thanks for giving our buddy hope!!!

Sean next time you meet with Drew can you please give him a lesson on how to upload video to the internet...........that man is sitting on some valuable footage and knowledge. Stuff the golf world needs to know. People are suffering out there without a "motion that makes the shot".

The world wants to know........."who is Drew Chapman?" And why is he saying those terrible things about Mike O.?

I worked on my short game this morning and can feel/see the results. The full swing will take a bit more getting used to. I started TGM as well. I don't claim to understand all of it, but Drew created a great picture for me to get me on the right road. I'm looking forward to my journey.

I haven't uploaded video but I think I can figure it out. Maybe after my next lesson, and if Drew as time, I could show him?

I am not sure what you mean DG. What did he mention that was totally opposite?
