Golfing Dad: I was teaching a couple of surgeons in Las Vegas a number of years ago and it keep saying "muscle memory" and I got corrected. They told me there is no such thing that brain dead people don't move. OK, that made since to me so I stopped saying 'muscle memory'. I questioned the same question to the doctors. It's where I came up with how to de-program you personal swing computer and re-program with information so you can tell your body to do something different. We do the same things over and over simply because we heard a 'Key' phrase, we saw for example a ONE PIECE TAKE AWAY that was shown in slow motion on Sunday that Johnny Miller or Brandell Shamble spoke of or you see how long Tiger Woods keeps his head behind the ball and it sticks in you mind. You go out and swing once or twice and it works so it's forever in your mind. You may not think you are telling your body to do anything but in truth you tell your body to do everything. What to see how fast your body (anyone's body) can change a 10/20/30/40/50 year old habit here is what you do. The next time you meet someone put your right hand in your pocket and when you are introduced reach out with your left hand and watch how fast the human brain changes what you've done all your life as it stops reaching with your right hand and instantly reaches with your left. That my golfing friend is how fast you can change your golf swing. All you have to do is tell your body to do something different and it will do it instantly. You keep doing it and keep practicing it to the point that you believe you have developed muscle memory. But you haven't all you've done is tell your brain we are going to do B instead of A from now on so your brain sends the B signals to your muscles for response instead of sending A brain waves to your muscles for response. But make no mistake about it. You don't pick up a glass, brush your teeth, open a door or shake your head yes or no without your brain telling your body what to do. Try brushing your teeth with the opposite hand. Talk about odd. ------ I missed the last step coming down the stairs a couple of years ago and fell so fast I did not have time to put my hands out to brace the fall. I hit right on my right shoulder. Like a defense player wrapping up the ball carrier and then driving the ball carrier right into the ground on his right shoulder. You've seen it happen. My right shoulder popped out of socket, it was under my chin. What it did was stretch the muscles and tendons so far that they would not keep my shoulder in the socket any longer. Dr could pop it back in but if I raised my elbow up past my nipples (to brush my teeth) it would pop out again. Try brushing your teeth with your left hand, Daaaaaaaaaa NOPE. got no feel for it at all. Not even with an electronic tooth brush. Some thing's you just can't do with the opposite hand. Like butter bread. It took me 9 months to get my shoulder back. I can write left handed now. Throw left handed now. Butter my bread left handed now. I can even shave with a straight razor in my left hand now. It's like having a good golf grip. As Harvey Penick said, if you have a bad grip you don't want a good swing. But golfers try to swing consistently with a grip that is not on the club so the club can be repeated. How do you develop a solid grip. Well easier than learning to sleep on your left shoulder that for sure. But here's the key to a repeating grip. --------------- IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO FEEL GOOD YOUR ARE SUPPOSE TO GET USE TO THE FEEL. Hope that helped you. Appreciate the question. Have any more please post it on my face book, I invite all questions and videos of your swing. Please be my guest and post. It's the only reason I posted here. I was the first golf teacher to be marketed world wide via television infomercials. The marketing company got greedy with the amount of sales we had. They marketed the word ' STRAIGHT' and it sold for no teacher had ever stated you could hit a golf ball dead straight till I hit the air in 1996. The word straight was not used in the golf industry anywhere prior to 1996. Now you see it every where. ----------Your Welcome, but all the post on me are because we sold 4M videos and they would not allow me to get in touch with anyone who bought my videos nor would they let anyone who bought the tapes to reach out and ask me a question. ---------- Golfers I'm sorry. It was not my doing. The whole idea if the --follow up, follow up and follow up after the sale. That is why we are calling it DALTON'S STRAIGHT TALKING GOLF this time cause the team that are helping me this time are devoted to making sure golfers can reach me at any time with any questions and I will respond. My phone number is posted my personal email is posted and if I have to take a short video to explain your questions and send it to you or call you on Skype to answer it you damn Skippy I will. ------------- I am a weekend golfer just like you are. I just happen to be able to relate the golf swing so simple that it's very difficult to argue with how I say it. As long as you can't disagree with what I say the mind will accept it and the body will do it.----------- I guarandamnteeyou. Dalton McCrary

------------------------------ Pay for the balls. Oh Podner, I'm going to pay for the balls, pay for the round of golf, pay for all your lost balls, pay for the cart, pay for all the cocktails we drink after we play, tip the waitress and give you $20.00 bucks for gas to get to me. ------------------------------------- .What else will it take to get you on the tee line for an afternoon and play golf? Just let me know. Yours Very Truly Dalton McCrary

Mr. Desmond You seem to be very well golf educated from the number of post you put up on just about every subject or forum offered you have some interesting comments. You say you are from California now an implant to Dallas area of Texas. Well let me be one of the first to welcome you to my home state.. I can't live more that 20 minutes from you. Give me a call, 972-983-3331 and we'll stop all the debating on weather or not I know what I'm talking about or how well I can relate the golf swing to someone. And I mean real Andy By God quickly. Be my guest and lets talk golf and play. I'll bring my camera man out and we'll document our time together so you can comment here on the Sand Trap and I'll have the follow up video posted on my web site. Offer is good anytime ponder, your call. I'm in Addison. Little bar their on Belt Line just south of Toll Road, south side called Vernon's meet you there for a drink also anytime and we'll stop all this wondering. My approach is very simple. I've cut out 80% of what golfers who think they know the golf swing love to talk about. See I don't give golf lessons. I never have. I don't know how to give someone a golf lesson. What does a golf lesson consist of anyway? What, 30 minutes, 45 perhaps an hour. What in the world can you get accomplished with someone in 30 minute to an hour anyway? By the time you warm up and we get ready to learn your time is up. Golf lessons don't have an agenda for what they are going to accomplish that day. They just have a time set for you to swing in front of an assistant pro looking to make extra money. That's a lesson. That's not teaching golf or the golf swing. Teaching requires you to be able to answer all of your student's WHY QUESTIONS. Why does my ball hook? Why does my ball Fade? Why do I top the ball? Why don't I get the ball in the air? Why don't I take the divots like you see on TV? There are two main reasons why a golf ball fades and two main reasons why a golf ball hooks. As Rod White says, ' That's some important information to have right there.' But I don't give lessons. I teach golfer how to teach the golf swing. There are only two ways to change what you are doing that doesn't work for you consistently. One: You can stand out there and hit 300 balls a day and if you are actually doing something different in time you may start to feel something different. If you hit enough ball. Worst case scenario you learn to make the same mistakes over and over very consistently and then play that way. The other???? Two: You can simply tell your body to do something different than it's done in the past and your body will do it instantly. The trick is, knowing how to tell your body to do something different. That's where I come in. I know how to teach someone how to teach the golf swing. and in the process of learning how to teach your son or daughter you'll learn how to play golf yourself. That's what I don and I'm the only golf teacher in the country that teaches this way. So I you have not experienced it then you can't intelligently comment on what I do. If you have not been though the course, agreed on a philosophy. And better yet you don't' even have to agree with me. The trick I have is the way I say it, you can not dis-agree with what I'm saying. I've never had anyone who could. And I've personally taught enough golfer to hit the ball dead straight with every club in their bag to fill the Cotton Bowl. Yes, sir, I've had failures. Four to be exact in 30 years. Golfer who think they can teach don't know how to tell their body do so something different that it has done in the past. ------------------------------------------Golf Teachers and weekend golfers who think they know the golf swing believe there is muscle memory---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------And there is no such thing as muscle memory. ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, NOPE AND NEVER HAS BEEN.----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT? WELL GET READY FOR THE PROOF. BRAIN DEAD PEOPLE DO NOT MOVE .------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- IF YOU ARE NOT TELLING YOUR BODY DO SO SOMETHING IT DOES NOTHING-------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------Every motion your body does the brain is telling your body to do it or it would not do a damn thing but lay there.----------------------------------------------------- Don't even try to argue with that for you can't, it's the truth. Period, like it or not. That's what I teach for the weekend golfer doesn't have a prayer of telling himself how to do something different that he's always done. Men, we believe we can get from point A to point B without directions. We believe we can put anything together without the instructions. AND, we believe we can teach ourselves anything. ----------------- But you can't teach yourself to be the best golfer you can become. Every player on tour has a coach. I'm the weekend golfer golf coach cause I can't show you how to teach yourself to be the best golfer you can become. And be a self evaluator so when you miss a shot you instantly know why you missed it so your frustration with golf game is over. That's what I do. That is different than you've ever heard the swing spoken. You've never experienced it with all the golf you've been around. Therefore anyone who's not experienced it first hand are talking out of there behind for they know not what they speak of. That, I guarandamnteeyou. I'm offering you this experience so you can speak with knowledge when you post. You have an open invitation my golfing friend, Your call, Sincerely, Dalton McCrary
