I've been talking with @iacas about the possibility of doing a group lesson at Golf Evolution in Erie, PA. 

We were talking about getting together in the AM on October 9th. 

We could do the lesson at Golf Evolution. We can kind of schedule it however we like as long as we are done by 1PM so Erik can head out of there to coach his college team. 

I know I'll be working on my game a lot this off season, so this would be a great time for me to get another lesson in. We can flesh out the details as we go. But for now I'm just trying to gauge interest. Anyone else interested? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Pretty sure I can make it as I’ll be staying in western NY longer than originally planned.

So, I got into a car accident last week which totaled my car (have a few scratches on my arm but no other injuries otherwise thankfully) so at this point, I'm a maybe because I have to figure out my car situation before committing to anything.

I've been really busy, too, and haven't done anything golf related in a month, either so there's that, too. :-(

I’ll probably spend the night near Erie (in my van!) and would be interested in playing in the afternoon, weather permitting. I’ll play solo if needed, but would love to play with others doing the lesson if there’s interest.

Glad you are okay, brother. 

Perhaps this is the chance to get back into golf related activity?

I'd be interested as well. Although it's been my experience that playing right after a lesson can be ... what's the word? ... interesting?

Thanks, bro!  Yeah, not necessarily a bad motivator.

Well now, if ppl are playing then i might rent a car if i don't have one to get the lesson and go play!😂

You could also consider hitch-hiking?

I'll need to check schedule more but my interest is peaked.  I have @ 4 1/2 hour drive and would not spend the night in my SUV.  @Chris Brooks you can share a room with me if I do come.  I would only come with the anticipation of playing a round in the afternoon.  Just too long a drive for only a lesson (although I am sure it would be a great lesson).   As for golfing after a lesson, at least we would be with others in the same boat.

At least not as bold as golfing with the instructor!

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
