		<description>Hi John,

CONGRATULATIONS! You certainly achieved a great goal, but you sure were committed!

I&#039;ve read your 12 lessons and they will give any golfer a fantastic opportunity to learn from the time you invested in this achievement to the benefit of their game.

I would like to make personal contact with you as I&#039;m the author of &#039;Golf Swing Eureka!&#039; (http://www.golfswingeureka.com) and would be interested in sharing some thoughts with you. If you could drop me an email that would be great. I&#039;m friends with both Mike Pedersen and Andy Brown.

Cheers,

Jon Barrett

		<description>Hi John,

Just read your first 3 chapters and found them very motivational.  Look forward to the rest when published.  You are a true inspiration to golfer&#039;s Mr Average of which I am one.

		<description>Hey john, loved reading your story in todays golfer. Congrats for achieving this great thing. Your story inspired me to work on my game more logically and so far i am noticing improvments. And whats better is i am noticing the faults also. A few days ago i shot an 88 which beat my previous best my 8 shots. Pretty pleased seenas i only played for 3 months.

In your article it said you watched a recording of someones golf swing. I really wanted to check the guy out as i think its a great idea but can&#039;t remember his name....

Thanks..

		<description>Hi John, have just read in Todays golfer about your amazing feat. Ive just started lessons after playing for a year and ive found that having to change everything from grip to posture has put my handicap back up from 23 to 27.
Need miracles i think

Yours

		<description>Dear John.

I have just read with great intrest the article about your challenge in todays golfer. my name is david and i am a 45 year golfer I too have set my own challenge!
i have been a scratch golfer, but 2 years ago i contracted MS. After my 1st attack i was left enable to walk for 3 months. after building myself up i managed a few holes, then progressed to a full round after a few months. i had my handicap reassesed and was given a handicap of 10. I still had problems breaking 90 because my swing was shall we say was individaul before i got ill. i had to change to a more technically correct swing to enable to play again. after finding a excellent coach i have made progress to the point that i shot a pair of 75s in our club championship last year coming 2nd. (i was baeten by 1 shot). this reduced my handiacap to 8.
Well here is my challenge. (set by my partner nikki she has been my rock when i was told i would never play again, she gave me the support and courage to try again).Anyway my challenge is to get down to 1/scratch in 5 years so i can try to qualify for the British seniors open as an amatuer. like you i have been told this is impossible, many reasons are given from my disiabilty to no one can get that good with so many problems. But i belive i can do this, i can no longer work full time so have many oppertunites to practice and play! I cant hit thousands of balls a week but do practice short game a lot. After reading your article i have now a added zeal to do this to show myself and all the doubters that have been holding me back recently that it can be done. I would love to read your book and pick your brain on how you achived your amazing feat. I would love to learn the mental keys you leant to maximise your practice time as i belive this is key to me completing my challenge. i would love you to contact me by e-mail to discuss this more!!!!! Many thanks for your insperation and look forward to hearing from you.

Your Dave.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re definitely an example for all golfers. You took a challenge, worked hard and finally succeed. I&#039;m sure you got the same clubs from the beginning to the end of your crazy year, not finding excuses for bad results in a material problem. Too many golfers seen on the practice range prefer spending thousands of dollars in a driver and high quality balls instead of taking regularly lessons with a pro and really improve their game.
I had a back injury last summer and couldn&#039;t play full swing for more than 2 months. Was it an excuse for wasting my time watching TV and complaining about my back? No, I spent hours and days improving my chip&amp;putt game. 
Your example will definitely be kept in my mind for the coming seasons and a motivation for hard work on the practice range.

P.S Sorry for the language but english is not my mother tongue</description>
