Meet The Swing Surgeon Team

Jack, Loved the longer finger analogy. LOL Really !!!!!!!!!!

Gary,

Old news, and the two swing systems are not the same. My advice is to stick with this one.

Good luck

Surge Nation

I am posting a world wide Food Network emergency.

My wife just brought my desert out to me on the patio. She informed me that we are now out of pound cake, strawberries, and cool whip.

I can't live like this. I need someone to "talk me down", or I might jump off my patio wall. That won't help me. I live on the ground floor. I might have to go break into the place up on the third floor and jump off their patio.

Don't let me down here folks,
Dick

Thanks Robert, I've been watching the Ladies at the Kraft Nabisco on the Golf channel. It's their first Major. I'll check out pga.com now.

Janet

Doc said a "good" husband would do the same. Haha

Are you kidding me? I know exactly how spoiled I am. And, yes I do appreciate it. I found the right one, this time. Haha. As my father used to say, "Even a blind pig will find an acorn from time to time." I found the acorn. In case my wife reads this, I am not calling you a nut honey.

I am truly a blessed man,
Dick

Robert

I miss his videos too. I wish he would go back to his roots and sing more on the new videos. I like that the new videos are in color.

Dick

Dick,Jack,Doc

LMAO...You guys are killin me here. I came for golf and got a hybrid version of the food network and comedy central.

LynnF

Nice to see you are still Teaching Don, love your methods and insights, simply brilliant. Makes the golf swing come to life. One day you will be given the attention you deserve. Thanks for everything.

Does anyone have a recommendation for which golf GPS application to use on an android phone?

Dick

I really feel bad that you don't get to play as much as you'd like. ;0) Nice to see the new driver working so well. Told my son-in-law, who loves my burner, it's all his when I get my new one from Doc. He's all hyped about it. He hit it a ton at the range so I may be sealing my own doom...lol.

OK...gory details to follow on my round today. First hole par 3, tee shot to 18 in, birdie. OK, today is gonna be special. Two and three, par 3 and par 4, one under after 3. Pulled my tee shot ont the next par 3 pretty bad and thought ok now the wheels come off. Made a good chip from behind a tree to 10 ft and missed the putt. Long par 3 next, hit the green and then the dreaded 3 putt. Finished the front 9 2 over, so not bad.

Back 9: birdie, par,par,par. Long par 3 that I never hit the green on is next and I hit my 5 wd to about 20 feet. Now I'm really getting nervous. So what does dummy do?...3 putt. Finished bogey,bogey,double, and bogey. Seven over for the round, so best I've shot this year, but disappointed I let it get away..Golf can sure be a greedy game...lol.

Difference for me today was getting a handle on the tempo issue I had yesterday. I let the club fall from the top of my backswing where yesterday I was forcing it. The distance was better and a much more fluid swing. Still having a problem timing the bump, but it's getting better.

Oh yeah, Dick, I celebrated by finishing the brownies tonight.

LynnF

Thanks, I will have to check it out.

Yes, I am a San Diego boy. I generally play the executive course out at Sycuan (can't beat the $11 super twilight). It is a great place to work on your short game.

If Congress could only communicate as well we would eliminate the national debt!

Dick

You're safe. It's him. The DNA test results just came in.

LynnF

That's very sweet. It's guys like you that make me think marriage is a pretty good concept. It's just a matter of finding the acorn. In my case, I'm finding a lot of blind pigs! Haha. Seriously, you're very lucky. Finding the person is one thing; knowing that you've found the person is another. If that makes any sense. ???

Lynn

I know you are sleeping by now. I am getting ready to go do the same thing.

What would you get if you mix Larry the Cableguy and that short fat county woman from the Food Network? A great cook who is uglier than hell.

Glad we are keeping up your spirits. That is what we do.

Dick

I want to make sure that I am on your mailing list. Before you left your last gig , I bought all of your videos and I am glad that I did. My question for you is how often are you going to E-Mail us with new info in the future?........... thanks My address is rogerrubis@sbcglobal .net

I'm sitting here are 8:30 AM simply laughing my butt off to the point of tears. This is great! If you'll buy me a super save ticket on AA, put me up at a Holiday Inn, and rent me a cheap sub compact, and buy me dinner at Mickey Ds, we have a deal! Oh, wait, is there any kind of bet that we could wager?

Sorry Dick, I cn't help. The brownies are gone.

LynnF

Hey T, I also live in NE OH--Youngstown. I am a fan of the Surge swing, but have not actually used it. Too cold and wet. Call me for a meet, greet, and play. Bruce 330-793-1307

Nice to "meet" you, Harold. You were the inspiration for a recent video, right? I love hearing from you guys who've actually spent time with Don and the team personally. It really shows what we all feel from watching them, that they're a great bunch to be connected with.

Where's Doc? ....he must of been a good fit away!

Janet

You are so right. I was just too hard headed to quit trying until I got it right. I can be a slow learner.

Remember, pigs are not frogs. It won't help to try kissing them on the forehead. Hang in there, you will find your prince in God's timing.

It makes perfect sense. It should scare you when something you say makes sense to me.

I found THE ONE, and I am smart enough to know it. Kelly Jo fits me. Better than that, she completes me. And, to top it off, I got an extra son, daughter in law, daughter, son in law, and three more grandkids who think Pop Pop walks on water out of the deal. Along with the package came a wonderful mother in law and dad, who has become my golfing partner and a great friend.

Now you know why I always say I am a blessed man.
Dick

Dick

No sleep yet. I was reading most of your replies and just sitting here thinking...I wonder how he really feels...lol. I was hungry til you hit me with the Larry the Cableguy hybrid..lol. Not any more. I do have a question for you. Did the pro at the course learn anything from you?

LynnF

Ronnie

Have you been out here in Oklahoma beating up our roads too.

I think I found where you hit a bucket in my parking lot.

Dick

I wasn't "fit" to make the travel team this year.

I hope you appreciate how spoiled you are. Makes me wish I had a wife.

Hello Bruce. Nice to hear from a fellow buckeye. We are a bit apart. I am in the Canton area which i believe is about 1 1/2hrs from Youngstown. Perhaps some future time we could find a decent half way between us course. During season though i golf on four leagues, Mon-Thur, so my Fri, Sat, and Sun are usually my other jobs days, lawn, house, errands, etc. Never the less, we may be able to work something out. I failed to take advantage of the few good days we've already had, due to some hand ailments and other responsibilites, but now, i wish i had. It's pretty ugly looking weather for the near future in my area. I hope we can get out on Monday, but it doesn't look to good right now. Let me know if i can help you in the swing changes and transition. I only started with it mid to 3/4 way through last season, so i'm far from good with it yet, but i'm learning. Or perhaps, i should say, my body is learning to cooperate. Knowing how to do it, and actually being able to do it, can seem like worlds apart at times. Waiting on and hoping to get new Fitted clubs this year also, from our cirtified fitter in Columbus. We are into the process at present. Waiting on the weather to improve for that as well. If you know how to edit, you might want to remove your phone number from the public posting, unless you're not concerned with cranks. I have it copied. Cheers

Others on the news, suggested it was concerning the missing sock on the one foot.

Doc

They just did not want to bring out all the big guns for this class. Can't have all you guys in one place at the same time, in case something happens. You know they do that at the fed level. They keep them spread out so there is always someone left to run the show if a disaster happens.

Dick

Nite folks

I am hitting the rack. I have to get up early. I have a long day ahead of me. I will be thinking of you all when I make the turn.

Hope you all have a great day. I look forward to spending some time with you tomorrow night and hearing how your day and golf went.

Keeping it vertical, and dreaming of the perfect shot, in Oklahoma,
Dick

Lynn

I know, I need to learn to come out of my shell. My wife loves the fact that she never has to try and guess what is on my mind. The mental picture killed my appetite too. For about 5 minutes then I made a full recovery. I have great news for the Surge Nation. My loving wife restocked the entire desert supply tonight on her way home, while I was at the range. I keep telling you I am one blessed man.

He learned some great one liners. I told him I am doing a golf video. He said he would like to see it when it is finished. He asked what I am doing it on. I told him the working title is "Don't let this happen to your game." There were a couple of times when he was just about to make a swing and he would just walk away from his ball laughing himself silly. He told me I could not tell anymore jokes while we played because it was killing his game. He did have one great line at my expense on one hole. It is a hard dog leg right. He went first and hit right over the trees of the dog leg and landed right out in the middle of the fairway in front of the green on his tee shot on a par 4. I knew better than to try that. I was chuckling to myself as I hit my shot. It went almost to the turn and then sliced right off down the hill into the heavy brush. He has a very dry sense of humor. He watched my ball go out of sight into the brush, turned to me and said "We don't mow down in there Dick."

He enjoyed our round together enough that he told the guy who runs the vol program at the course to find a position for me. I guess I owe him for all the range ball I can hit and all the golf I can play for free. I must have left a mark on him somehow. Every time he sees me anywhere around the course or clubhouse, he always takes the time to walk over and talk for a couple of minutes. He is very down to earth.

I have had all I can take of you people for one night. I am going to bed

Have a great day, talk to you soon.
Dick

You were already there I do believe. Did you receive your daily email today after 1700 EST?

Ok, I'm now hurting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don, When will you have a certified teacher and club fitter in Northern California? Preferably in the SF Bay Area.

Surge Nation

Would who ever posted the TEF video the other night, please post it again so Janet can see it.

If that ain't Doc on that video in black and white, I will carry his clubs for a whole round.

Dick

They certainly do seem to understand each other, don't they !

Merrill

Doc is here on the blog with us, having a fit. We have at least one good fit on here every day, before we can get away.

Dick

OohRah!

I just got word that FishHook in Palmer will be open this weekend. I might get to play a round on a real golf course for a change. The only bad part is that I will have to carry a four pound hammer in my bag to drive me tee into the ground.

By the way, check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

I'll let everybody know how I play in my first frozen round of the year.

Hit'em Long and Straight,
Bob

Hello all

Just got in and shared a wonderful diner with my wife. That gal can cook. I offer exhibit # 1 to prove that. Exhibit 1 is my waist line. I object your honor. Over ruled, shut up and go eat your desert.

Nothing to worry about folks, the argument is over.

Hope everyone had a great day. It was a bit cool here today, but not enough to keep me from playing. I can't fool around now, dad and I are playing Friday. We are meeting in the middle of main street at 10:30 AM for the show down. I don't think he knows what is coming his way. I worked at the course on Sunday after church, then played 18. Played 18 on Monday. Had to work all day on Tuesday, no golf. Hated it. I had a home inspection this morning then played 18. Tomorrow I am changing it up. I am playing 18 in the morning, then doing an inspection in the afternoon. Then 18 on Friday with dad. Going to my other range on Saturday. Working at the course on Sunday after church. Hope they let me off in time to play at least 9 before I head home at dark. What a life. If I am dreaming, leave me alone. I will have to bust a cap on anyone who pinches me and wakes me up.

I had a great game today. The new driver is working real well. I was banging it with the 3 wood today. I was on the green in 2 after nice 3w shots on 4 par fours and in 3 on 2 of the par fives. I took a page out our pal Steve's book today. I did not even keep score. I just worked on shots and shot from different places to the greens. I took 4 hours to do 18, with all the extra shots and ball hawking. I had a great time.

It is great to hear that our brothers who have been on sick call are doing better. I can tell Robert is just about ready to sneak in a game.

For those of you who are still snowed in, if you send me your address, I will send you a box of what we have coming this weekend. They are saying it might get up to 92 Sunday. If it does, the guys and gals will come out of the woodwork to play. The course will be hopping when I am working.

I know I am not the only one who played today. How did your games go today? Somewhere one of us is playing right now.

The sun never sets on the Surge Nation.
Dick

Bob

Good news pal. Maybe you could use a 16p nail as a tee starter.

Thanks for sending the video, that was incredible. Almost like caddieshack.

Dick

Aaaaaaaa, ummmm, huh? Nah! A good husband would do the same!! LOL LOL LOL
