The Surge is Back!

Thrilled to have you back in the backyard driving range and looking forward to new dailies. Thank you for keeping me in the game with the body friendly PPGS. God bless!

Surge welcome back and don’t worry about your distance. It will come back with a bit of work and it sure beats the alternative. I found after my injury that with work and by going to a slightly lighter shaft it allowed me to gain my lost distance back. It’s great to see you vertical.

Hi Don,
So happy to see you back in action. Looking forward to more of the same in instructional materials.

You're story about losing power while carrying DJ's clubs has come in handy. A friend told me how his legs were bothering him and I suggested he get it checked out--I'd just read an article about deep vein thrombosis and also remembered your story. He later got on a treadmill and his heart rate was too high. He mentioned it to his wife and she shipped him off to the doctor. He called my husband today to say he's had a medical scare and might be off to the Cleveland Clinic. So, even though we follow you for golf, your personal stories are also great life stories and I'm glad you share them with us.

Surge, You will never know just how much so many of the Surge Nation owe you. Your return is some of the best news golf wise for a long, long time. It is fantastic that you are back swinging a club. May your health and game get better by the day. Distance? We all lose distance. It is a fact of aging : - ( boo!hoo! In my humble opinion, being more accurate down the fairway and at the green consistently are much better. Recently following the slowest four imaginable, we were deliberately aiming away from them so as not to 'hit up on them'. The results were stunning. A string of 6pars on the most difficult holes on the course. Distance was not good, but accuracy with the hybrids,irons etc from 150-180yds in were impeccable. Distance is good, but give me accuracy and consistency every time Surge. YOU GAVE ME THAT, for which I am eternally grateful : - ]
The weather here is sloooowly coming right and DL and I will get out onto the hallowed turf more often and spread the word about PPGS.
It made me smile to see the sun's rays shining upon you during this video~! Very appropriate-the big fella upstairs was watching it too.
Great to see you back DH and DL in NZ

It is great to see you hale and hearty again. Was it just coincidence that the sun was shining down just right to create a spotlight for you in the video?

Glad you are now back. Have been missing you and your golfing tips and helps.

We are delighted to have you back, alive and well, and look forward to your tips and instruction.

Glad to have you back. Been through all of what you had and more in the past 7 years. It is finally all getting back to what it once was. Take care and hope all goes well!

welcome back, Surge, we misssed your dailys and your expert advice and teachings. Glad you are healthy again.

Glad to see you back "in the swing of things," Surge. Recovery definitely takes time. Keep feeling better. We're all looking forward to new video tips from you.

So happy to hear that you're back. It sounds like your cardio rehabilitation program is a very good one and it is just a matter of time, before you are back to speed. Speaking for the " swing speed challenged," a daily video on what other things you are doing to regain lost swing speed would be interesting.

Don: Hope that you continue to improve fast! Keep up the rehab. I would also like information on what you are doing to increase swing speed.

So nice to have you back Surge! As others have mentioned, that wonderful light coming in over your shoulder pretty well sums up our feelings about you - you are our guiding light and we are thankful you are doing better! Take care, get stronger, and enjoy every moment of this wonderful life! Thanks so much for all you have done to make us better golfers. Hit 'em straight, r2

Good to see you .

So happy to see you again, and you're looking great!!!

You are a class act!

Great to have you back sir. You are an inspiration. God bless you and your family. M

Dear Surge
I am John from Cambridge England and I'm so glad you're on the road to recovery. I started using your swing a short time ago and was doing good until I had a severe stroke. I am now playing golf again but tending to slice quite a lot with 4 and 5 irons. I believe in your method and plan to persevere until I can again hit straight shots consistently. Your video "the Surge is back" gave me great encouragement to keep playing. I so glad you've recovered from major surgery and keep up the good work. Best regards
John

And praise the lord. Went through similar operation 3 years ago. Walking and exercise are the strength builders plus eating a healthy diet are what is keeping me alive. Play 72 holes of golf most weeks. Use your swing and hit it straight but short. Will keep you in my prayers and thanks for all the info on a pain free golf swing.

Don you have never been far from all of us surgites thoughts, its real good to see you back on the backyard driving range. Best wishes from the UK.

Hi Don glad to see you back on your feet again take your time no need to rush things you will soon get back to your old self again. Looking forward to your daily videos again soon. God bless from the Emerald isle.

Glad to see you back in action and recover from your surge (ry) adventures. Looking forward to your continued health and hope to see you out west USA ASAP for a chance to enjoy your instruction again. Almost always down the middle with the PPGS,

Welcome back. While I am not a good golfer, the PPGS has given me the best accuracy AND distance I have ever had. I played 18 today Just down the road from you and I really enjoyed that sunshine. Keep up the rehab and good work and distance will get better. Thank you so much for helping me and others improve.

I played Thursday for the first time in since your surgery. Not because of health but because of heat. The senior group takes off for the summer not only for vacations but since we live in the desert and the temps can be 105 or more. For some unknown reason, everytime I put in my score I though of you and how you made this crazy game possible for me. PPGS has totally eliminated my back pain and I never have hit the ball any better. I played so well that I might take off another three months to see if I can get even better. Anyway, sooooooooooooo good to have ya back. I truly feel you and Doc are part of the family.

It's great to see you back and looking good, Surge. Just goes to prove You can't keep a good man down.

Down under we had a bloke by the name of Don Bradman, he was a cricketer and his batting average was around 99 runs per innings which has never been challenged to this date, that was 70-80 years ago and I doubt it will ever be equalled.

They nicknamed him "The Don" and when ever we want to compare some one who is brilliant in the sporting field, he is the man we use for comparison.
Not only was this guy good, he was a gentleman of the highest order as well.

You may not have reached the heights in golf as this man did in cricket, but to me, your passion, honesty and dedication to the golfing franternity, puts you in a similar league,

I say this with all my heart, welcome back "The Don".

Great to see you at it again. More prayers coming your way. May God bless. Stan Kerlick in Laguna Niguel, CA

It is good to have you back Don. Incidentally, after some trouble of my own, I am back on the golf course also, so I decided to spruce up the old swing again with your method that helped me so much. However I came back to re-look at the swing foundation videos I had purchased over 2 years ago on the old website I found out they were gone.

I have emailed your support desk and this is the response I have received:

"Dear Mr. Vignolini,

The only record we were able to secure in our split was that you purchased Situational Shots Around the Green, which is available to you in your account. This is why I stated we received incomplete records and your account must be one of them if you previously had access to more than just this video. In order for me to accurately credit your account with all that you have previously purchased, it will be helpful to have you forward me the receipt for your purchase. A simple search of your email or PayPal history for Maven Marketing will likely yield results. With that I can easily and accurately populate your account with everything you have previously purchased. If you have any further questions or issues, please do not hesitate to reply to this email and I will gladly assist you as quickly and best I can."

Pretty poor putting the onus of proof on me, when really you should have all the details in your database.

Needless to say I am extremely disappointed of, firstly you having lost the videos I had paid for, and second of a substandard customer service.

I shall let the people interested in your products know of this caveat emptor.

PS: I had never purchased the situational shots either, by the way...

Warmest regards
Roberto Vignolini
