I wanted you to be one of the first ones to know that today I won the Southen Nevada Chapter Championship! My two day score of 69-72=141 (-3) total beat out my nearest competitor by two shots. I just wanted to say thanks for helping me understand the dynamics of the golf swing better through TGM. Although, I don't have a complete grasp of "The Machine" in all areas I do feel that your clinic this last May at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort was instrumental in me turning the corner with my play. Thanks again for all your help, I look forward to advancing my knowledge under your guidance.

Pat,
Congratulations!!! Knowledge is power, application is practice, winning is the result of hard work and trust in the alignments. Way to go.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Thanks everyone for your support. I was excited with the win and wanted to share the results. I have a long way to go but it's the small successes along the way that make the travels enjoyable. Although they don't know it, Jeff Hull, Ted Fort, along with John Riegger, Brian Gay (even Mr. 12 piece) have inspired me to expand my understanding of the golf swing and to apply this knowledge where it is the most fun and rewarding...the golf course.
So here's to everyone's continued journey!!!
Pat
