Your next post, @ellamia, had better have some real substance to it. Again, enough of this weird marketing BS stuff. Out with something. Heck, pick one of your "core lies" and share what you think about it.

Well if he does come back we all know you’ll respond about 2 months afterwards. 😛

He posted a marker. He’s from O-town. Could be your neighbor.  😉

Honestly, thanks to Erik, the moderators, forum leaders, and the collective brotherhood here, I think the TST crowd is too knowledgeable and well-educated about golf to fall for stupid infomercial crap like this. Guys like this pray on the poor uneducated saps trying to enjoy the game and it’s sad. He should be ashamed of himself.

Yes, and @ellamia’s writing is just awful, it comes off like a bad caricature of an infomercial. I doubt any TST golf enthusiasts would bite on such garbage. I did a quick google search and the same content has popped up on a couple other well known golf sites, that I’ll leave unnamed. Definitely a shill of some sort.

Can you remember the first time that you hit a golf ball?  If it was after you had learned how to hit a baseball or something else, then this is the first day that you started believing a few if not all of the Primary Core Lies about how to swing the club.  You were doomed to average at best from this point forward.

Here’s the scenario:

·       You pick up a club, doesn’t matter which one.  Boy does that feel weird, you thought.  It’s awkward and feels unbalanced.  You try to take a practice swing and swing it like a baseball bat and it seems not very smooth through the bottom, like you have to manipulate the club head some how to square it up in the hitting area.  Nothing you ever had to do before, unless you played hockey.  This might be the closest thing, but then that still doesn’t translate well because you hold a golf club nothing like a hockey stick.

·       You take your first attempt and you might even miss the ball completely or hit the ground behind the ball.  More LIES being birthed in your brain about the game of golf. 

·      

This isn't even close to how it went the first time I played golf. 

Sitting at my desk, first job out of college. A guy walks by pokes his head into my cubicle. "Hey Chet, we have a company golf league. We play tonight. I put you in it. It's great fun." 

Me, looking up from what ever I was working on. "Uh, okay. ... I don't have clubs."
"Rent em, or swing by MC Sports on the way to the course... See you there." 

Chet buys box set of Knight Centari clubs at MC Sports on lunch break. Goes to company golf league night. Don't remember what I scored, but had a lot of fun. Ate Nachos afterwards. Drank beer. 

Next night, Chet rents VHS tape of "Golf My Way" by Jack Nicklaus. 

................................... Fast forward 30 years. Chet's typing comments into an online golf forum instead of working on customer quote he should be working on.

His IP is in Orlando, which checks out. Maybe it is @Vinsk when he takes that Mr Hyde mask off!😜
