Approach to studying TGM.

[O.B.Left]

What I'm missing is part of my mind from so many years of all of this.

Uh oh, have I been screwing up again? I'm going to blame it on alcohol. I'm going to PM you my password and I'd appreciate you correcting my mistakes before too many members get wise to me.

You know I love you guy. But give me the password just in case, OK?

By the way Buckets digitized the whole 6th. Thats like cheating......like hows he gonna get the pages stuck in the wrong places? Key word search this Bucket....."cheater".

Same with Mike O. "from the best of my recollection , the word .....is mentioned 5. 6 times in the yellow book......." Ya right! On top of the heinous nature of this copyright infringement this is an insult to the good people of LBG, people who glue their own books together with pride, with their own hands.

You can take my yellow book away from me, but it will be.... from my cold , dead, glued together hands.

I've warned the U.S. people before - I suggest first we put up a fence on the border between U.S. and Canada - Canadians are the next immediate threat! They've spent decades building the "low key, laid back, nice FACADE" as a weapon of deception.

How long would it take a small contingent of men riding on moose back to get from the border to Turner Maine? And anybody got any good dough nut shop recommendations whilst we're on route?

I don't know how long it would take to get there but you better hurry. There are a lot of people on this side of the boarder that may get there first.

I've been told to arrive at 9:00am and look for a guy wearing a stocking cap, sleeping on a bench - alone - with a bottle of Jack. That will be Mike.

In line with this idea of digitizing the book I've been fantasizing about a TGM/LBG iPad app. This app would contain digitized text from the yellow book, with links to pictures, videos etc. In addition you could have a tab of the application for compiling component parts, which you could then play back in a video sequence which would show you how each of the component parts fit into total motion.

I ordered the DVDs but they got sent back because I had the wrong zip code. I'm hoping they get here this week because I recognize the value of TGM but I'm frankly overwhelmed and discouraged by the yellow book.

I've been reading the book for a while now. I'm learning a good deal about the golf swing. And I feel my game is improving. My bad days are getting less bad, and my good days are getting better... from a golfing perspective.

To my question though.
I've been reading, but I'm not sure I can say I've been studying.
I'm not really sure how to go at it. I've been reading List #1, #2... and re-reading again, and again...and again.

This forum especially has been a gold mine for me...(along with the Alignment Golf Dvd) There are not many questions that I couldn't find the answer to using the search function. And not forgetting a bunch of very helpful members that answered my newbie questions in my Swing problems thread. Just awesome.

But what I would like to know is, how do YOU study the book? How do you Approach it?

I know there isn't a "the WAY". I know it's individual, but, maybe my question could help me find my way.

My approach right now, is trying to memorize key parts, and where I can find them in the book, and briefly what these parts are trying to say. This isn't studying as in understanding them. But, my hopes are that with this memo'ing, it will be easier for me to connect the dots... so to speak.

HOW TO STUDY TGM

First of all, TGM is NOT a method. It is merely a catalog of the things that happen in a golf swing and the things that should be in a effective golf swing.

The foundations of the book are the primary concepts per 1-L: "the Hinge Action (2-G) of an Angular Motion (2-K) operating on an Inclined Plane (2-F)"

The golf swing has 24 components (from putt to drive) and they each have a varying number of variations. Chapter 7 and 10

The golf swing passes through 12 sections. Chapter 8

The motion that makes up the golf stroke can be divided into 3 zones. Chapter 9

There are 20 points through which every swing must comply with in order to produce a geometrically correct swing. All these 20 points can be represented by a geometric figure. 1-L-1 to 21

The science of the book is laid out in Chapter 2.

Chapter 3 shows you the correct way to build your golf stroke.

Chapter 4 talks about Wrist Positions

Chapter 5 talks about Monitoring

Chapter 6 talks about the Power Package

Chapter 11 is a summary of the variations and outlines what are and are not compatible.

Chapter 12 contains zero compensation beginner stroke patterns for both hitting and swinging. It also contains a curriculum with which to begin learning G.O.L.F.

Chapter 13 speaks about non-interchangeable components

Chapter 14 talks about the role of the human mind in golf.

Should you study TGM with professional help? In the timeless words of Mr. Kelly: "Preferable with. Advisedly with! Imploredly with!!!"

You need to memorize the book if you really want to understand it.

Nice overview.
Do you also have tips regarding in which order these chapters should be read?
