I am back behind a desk, but thats a good thing as my back won't let me stand around the range very long. I'm afraid my playing and teaching days are over, but I have very fond memories of my time with YODA and all my studies of the little yellow book. I wish I could have had a chance to really put it to good use...
Besides Brad Pluth, who is a wonderful teacher, both Dodger and Jerry Gruepner are good friends and excellent students of TGM. You guys should get together! Another wonderful teacher who hangs around here but doesn't post is Dave Sanchez up at the Refuge. If you want to learn some Lynn Blake/Homer Kelley Right Forearm Magic in Minnesota, Dave is your Man!

Oh, you guys! I went up to Turtleback with pal Kevin Sweeney (another TGMer) and we had a fantastic day bothering Kev Carter, playing golf on a beautiful golf course and devouring the best french fries I've had. The golf course was great fun and the visit was a hoot. We met some uniquely interesting people such as the supt. who actually built the course and a fellow that used to work in the company at Rice Lake, WI that built all the laminated wood heads for Wilson and other club companies.
The course is beautiful, challenging and great fun. Get your fannies up there if you can. I'm going again in Sept.
Spalding, shoot me a note and let's connect for some golf. Dodger, I'll send you a note shortly.
Jerry please explain to us foreigners , does this move make Kev a cheese head? OMG!
Kevin said there were club rules stating purple and gold were not allowed together on the golf course. I think there is actually a Wis. state law against same. In the grill the only thing not green or gold was the bar and the popcorn.
Kev looks like he is enjoying himself. It is great to see him back in the saddle with a huge smile on his kisser. Everything appeared orderly and everyone seemed very happy.
On the practice tee there were a bunch of kids with a couple adults working on their motions. I was very heartened to see a dad working with his early adolescent daughter on bunker play.
The pace of play was great, but I think we were the only two walkers that we could see on the course. It is a big course and I believe we made 18 holes in 3.5 hrs. max. Pretty darned good considering there were lots of folks out there and it was a good mix of ages and genders. Kev has them well indoctrinated already.
Ok just checking . Thought maybe the cheese head helmet was getting in the way of his double shift. NO problemo. Still want to hit the course with Kev some day. Ill stand and wait.
