Not sure I could get through it. Something tells me I'd read every word in his voice, which would drive me mad.

I assume it's an autobiography.

I don't think so. It is an instructional book. I think he thinks it is his version of 5 Lessons. 

I know he was friendly for a while with Jeffy (Jeff Martin) and that crew and that was some of the input for the book.

Ouch?

Read the sample pages from Amazon. Never heard of Alex Morrison, according to Chamblee, one of golf's greatest instructors. Guess I will do due diligence on the guy.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I don't think anything they had to say was really a part of the book. It's pretty shallow. Halfway through he's still talking about the setup. There isn't much text - a lot of images. And the book is only 144 pages or so, and that counts EVERY side of EVERY page in the book, including the blanks, title pages, copyright pages, etc.

Yeah, I listened to him talk about it on the promotion videos he made on golf.com and he is basically rambling. He is talking about some book that has nothing to do with golf. I would be surprised if anything he says is valuable.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
