I see Elk is in contention this weekend, lets hope he can make some birdies over the next coupla days.
What does DOCF stand for?

Cheers Iain. Just been going through a lot of his vids. I sort of stumbled onto his way of swinging on the range a few months ago but couldn't quite get it to gel.
This stuff is really interesting! Does he want to come to perth Kills the ball!
If he's giving lessons to people like Elkington in the USA, then i highly doubt he'll be back here anytime soon.
Checkout his YouTube channel though. Lots of cool vids there explaining his philosophies and methodology.
I'm pretty sure he'll be back over Xmas. But, like Jarro said, I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed over there basically permanently. He's still got family over here, so I expect he'll make regular trips back.
It's a shame, he's a great teacher, I'm just trying to get back into his methods.
How are you managing now that he's not here Iain ?
Have you learned enough from him in lessons past to carry on on your own ?
I haven't really played/hit balls since Nudgee plate, so just trying to get back into it again. I've emailed him, he knows my swing pretty well, so he should be able to steer me from afar. Plus, I'll get out and video my swing and send it to him.
I thought as much.
It really is a simple swing he teaches. Not a lot to go wrong with it once you ingraine the muscle-memory.
I knew we should've had that lesson with him before he left
I'll try and tee something up for when he comes back. Hopefully he will....
That'd be cool.
I'd be keen
Steve Elkington sounds a lot like Ben Doyle when he goes on about impact and address.
His swing doesn't look anything like Martin or any of his students.
Well Martin must be doing something right.
Elk up into 8th at the PGA.

Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.
I just spotted this on WRX:

That would be my take. It was reported that his renewed interest and good form is credited to work he has been doing on his putting with Geoff Mangrum. Elk's ball striking has never been an issue. It is all about putting at this level, you only have to look at Tiger, Mickelson and Duvall to see that.
Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?
I think it's probably more collaborative with Elk, as he likes to play around with different things, but the principles are definitely Marty's.
Plus, Marty's already stated that he's learnt an awful lot working with Elk. That it's only going to help how he conveys his teaching.
Bloody hell. How about the 300 swing experts on WRX?
