Personalized, Private lessons
No
matter how informative a book, no matter how well done a DVD, nothing is
better than hands-on lessons from a fellow Yogi.
And not just any fellow Yogi, but the last one living who was
personally taught by the Master himself, the one designated at Yogi’s
last hour, as THE one to spread the method.
So,
if you have a gut feeling that you should act now and quickly, you just
might be lucky and get a place in line.
Because
they are so useful and valuable, and because there is at present only ONE
Yogi teacher in the world, lesson spots are limited and costly.
They are limited because they are one-on-one over a three-day
period. They SEEM costly
until one understands the value. Probably
these lessons are in the range of prosperous individuals and private
country club members. Certainly,
they are very inexpensive compared to the top teachers in the US.
They are almost a give away when one considers that there is only
one Yogi and one Yogi teacher. Finally,
the private lessons include all the Yogi material in print, in DVD and CD
along with the irreplaceable “Platform to Perfection.”
Finally, lessons take place in a wonderful Southern California
private club, lunch included. Lessons
are the full swing, the short strokes (125 yards and in), and putting.
Now,
you are equipped with a new swing, a new short game and a new putting
style all in just three days. During
the three days, there will be at least one, but probably two playing
lessons, normally 9 holes. This
lesson will take place on a very difficult very private course, with super
fast greens. The conditions
are magnificent! Your new
experience will take a lot out of you while putting a lot more INTO you!
You
will become a very effective and happy golfer when you learn your lessons
properly. In fact, if you had
paid huge fees in the past to a famous teacher, the Count Yogi personal
lessons will seem a bargain. Of course they are a bargain.
We think they are a bargain at any price, because we agree with the
Count: “…my golf swing is Creator – God – given…” How do you pay for something God-given? How do you acquire something that comes from inspiration?
We
firmly believe, as did Yogi himself, that the Count Yogi System is ‘for
everybody.’ We also have
the realistic experience of not being able to teach every person. Sometimes the student is not ready to accept Yogi.
Sometimes the potential student just wants a quick fix to the power
swing. No quick fixes are
possible here. Just a
permanent fix!
Why
is it important to say this? Honestly
and bluntly, some lessons must terminate at the first meeting. That’s
school for you! How often
does this happen? Rarely.
This is the ‘REAL THING’!
All we ask of the student is that he or she comes with an open
mind, no, more: an open heart.
Did
you know that Tim is the only golfer alive today who never went through
all the confusion, aggravation, and shock of modern teaching methods?
He never pounded a million balls at the range.
He never ‘hit down’ on it with a straightened the left arm.
He learned directly from the Master, Count Yogi. The Master also
taught Tim how to teach you and the next generation.
Tim is not Count Yogi. He
plays excellent, FUN golf! He
even likes golf- but not as much as teaching and sharing what he knows.
He promised at the Count’s deathbed that he would continue the
work of offering this wonderful art form to the world.
He did not know what he had promised.
Slots
fill up quickly, and the teacher only teaches around 9 months out of 12.
What
You Bring To the Lessons:
The
best single thing for you to bring is an open mind. Put on hold all you think you know about golf and the golf
swing. Allow the ideas and
lessons to transform your mind and body.
This willingness on your part will eliminate nearly all your old
so-called problems. On top of
that, as Tim teaches the way Yogi taught and wanted Tim to continue
teaching, he will begin with the common, traditional courtesies of golf
and fill in the time with interesting stories about his time with Yogi.
Nothing like knowing your future heritage!
DAY
ONE LESSON
As
your first lessons begin, you will be struck that Tim is really interested
in you. He wants to know why
you think Yogi can help you. What
do you want out of golf? How
many years have you played? How
often do you play today? How
many holes? To which country
club(s) do you belong? Do you
play with the same friends regularly?
Do you travel and play all the famous courses you can?
Which length tees do you tee off from?
Have you taken lessons from a pro?
Have you become discouraged or even downright cynical about
teaching ideas? Do you
understand club design? Are
you able to put aside your favorite ideas for three days and put yourself
fully into the Yogi swing? What
physical limitations do you have?
What
would really please you to have in your game?
Longer drives? Great
short game? Putting?
Fine scores? Ability to compete in your local and club tournaments?
Tim
then will introduce you to the “Platform To Perfection” and show you
how it is set up, and why it works along with its priceless five simple
step “infallible mental routine” and the Yogi Full Swing.
This takes less than 30 minutes!
That’s it. Then you
practice and he talks it into your MIND, where the swing lives. Even though the five-step method done with the platform is
outwardly simple, it will LOOK and FEEL simple. He will insist that, no matter how simple it (the platform)
appears, you will actually use it over the coming years for self-fix
‘tune-ups if needed.’
He
normally ends the day around a drink or lunch with a discussion of clubs.
He needs to know what, if any, your understanding of clubs is.
He will describe loft, lie, swing weight, torque, flex ‘kick
points’, and flex frequencies and what he believes what adjustments and
settings would be most proper for you personally.
DAY
ONE COMMENTS
When
people watch you swing, the main comment they make, unsolicited, is that
it looks ‘so easy, so smooth, graceful and artistic.’ They have open eyes, because what they say is true.
But it looks that way because of the Science and INTELLIGENCE of
the swing, not the greatness (ha!) of your athletic ability.
You will be surprised how you will immediately stroke (not hit) the
ball very well when you do your first Yogi swing.
After Day Two and your second lesson, the strokes (or short shots)
you will actually feel as if you are practically picking up the ball and
setting it down right where you want!
Of
course, all sorts of things will distract you (it is a mental process) as
well as your own previous experience and old neuro-pathways will sabotage
you. Tim and the Platform to
Perfection will keep you on track and later, at home, you can and will be
empowered an able to continue to understand just what is actually going
on.
After
this, if your mind is not over stimulated you might do some sightseeing or
even arrange a little practice session by yourself.
DAY
TWO LESSON
The
next day he covers the short game. But
before he does, at this lesson Tim and you review everything you think you
heard the previous day. He
repeats what he showed you and you and he discuss what YOU think is going
on. This is where Tim excels.
He has great patience and needs to have you feel free to express
your delight or your confusion or both!
You will practice again on the Platform to Perfection while he
watches and comments.
PLAYING
LESSON!
If,
in Tim’s opinion, you are comfortable enough to take it on the course,
he will play a 9-hole round with you either at the country club or
another. You go on two
playing lessons and EXPERIENCE the ease and magic of the Yogi swing.
One on Lesson Day Two and Three.
This can be fun and you will have some shots you never thought you
could make. Some shots will
be non-Yogi blunders, but that is part of the cost of learning. ‘REMEMBER’, you are developing new neuro-transmitters and
pathways in your brain, which does take time and conscious competence on
your part. And, because it is
perfect practice with perfect and correct conception, your learning curve
is quite short compared to other methods.
Your short game will be at a level you never knew existed.
And!
It will begin to dawn on you while you are playing with Tim that
you are NOT really worried about how to set up your swing or how to swing!
You are having fun and Tim is having fun.
You see into the future: your skills at Yogi Golf will be mature
and practiced. You will go
out on a course, tough or easy, and never have a bad day.
You will make an occasional weird swing, since you don’t play all
the time. You will choose the wrong iron, or underestimate the distance or
read the break poorly, true. But
that is GOLF! Even your worst
miss-reads will be executed well. Once
you learn to swing the driver effortlessly and freely, you will have a
complete game.
DAY
THREE
Finally,
you wrap up the third day with putting.
Tim sometimes changes the order of things to suit his mood and your
needs.
This
is the day when normally, the student is really looking forward to hitting
the course. There may be
mental fatigue and even confusion as the new swing ideas replace your old,
inconsistent ones. Tim and
you will review what you learned. There
will be questions and then a brief practice at the range.
Their Tim will teach you the Yogi Golf practice routine you will do
for the rest of your days, along with the mental hand exercise.
Then you will go briefly over to the practice green.
After that you are off to another 9 holes of golf.
As
you can see, the training is thorough and complete. It introduces you to Yogi golf from the beginning, no
matter how long or how well you play golf.
Everyone starts at the same place.
NOTICE
THAT TIM is NOT showing you how to play golf, or make certain specialty
shots. He is not mentioning
handicaps, tactics, distance, etc. All
that comes later, when you have confidence in your ‘TRUE’ mental golf
state.
Some
day we foresee several new teachers, certified by Tim, all over the
country or the world for that matter.
Some of those teachers will be low scoring tournament players.
Golfers who desire to earn a living playing competitive golf with
consistent low scores Yogi style will go to them.
DAY
THREE WRAP-UP and DAY FOUR?
On
this day, Tim will review what you learned and how to maintain your
understanding when you are alone. You
will have your Platform kit to take home for future use.
You can look at the three DVD’s that show Yogi actually swinging
and teaching. You will have
the two books, (Now 3rd Book offering!
“Revolutionary Golf Made Easy”, Yogi’s Historical
Masterpiece, First Book from the 1920’s, 30’ and 40’s to ‘Private
Lesson students only) which are rare collector’s items, and finally,
your head full of a brand new experience.
DAY
FOUR?
Tim
is NOT rigid, nor is his teaching methods.
If you need, or he thinks you need, a fourth day, he will give it
at no cost to you. If you are
one of those blessed individuals who has so much enthusiasm, he might
agree to make an extra day available.
If you have come a long way, love what you are doing, you can have
extra instruction and play.
Finally,
you will be sent home and a tentative schedule for the tune up will be
made. This is included in the
lessons, but there are limits.
FOLLOW
UP
In
the past, Tim did not include follow up lessons as part of the package,
owing to the ridiculously low price he charged.
He thought the public would overwhelm him with demand for private
lessons. But, in this new
approach to teaching and saving the artform, Tim is including reasonable
partly unlimited phone talk and hands on lessons for the first year.
If this is not abused, he will retain it. The follow-ups have low priority relative to new lessons as
well as his own personal and family schedule.
Phone calls are only received and can be scheduled at certain hours
during the week. He
determines what is reasonable and unreasonable!
You
will love your lessons and your whole golfing and personal life will
change for the better.
Nobody
wants you to ‘get’ it more than Tim as well as Yogi (with the Creator
to whom he so often gave full credit), so please come prepared to learn.
We are ready for you!

Costs
a.
You
must get to Southern California, or in some rare instances, the teacher
will come to your facility if it is comfortable and private and no
negatives from other members or the pro.
When these rare occasions take place when friends, other members or
the pro is open minded and agreeable, Tim will travel and offer discounted
‘Seminar/Clinics’ for a maximum of 10 people or less.
More information on this can be given on request.
Tim does not want to even appear to be treading on your head
pro’s turf. He doesn’t
need to. He comes only if
there is a open minded welcome and invitation to share.
b.
You
must pay for your three night stay, which is very close to the Pacific
Ocean
c.
You
take care of your breakfasts and dinners.
We buy lunch
d.
So,
we are looking for people who are really excited, who will work at it, and
who are extremely interested in acquiring this art form. The teacher, Mr. Tim Nicholls the adopted Godson and protégé/apprentice
of Count Yogi, was himself taught over a 15-year period by the Count
himself. The Count wanted Tim
to carry on with the art form, so he taught Tim how to teach.
Tim can only do 4 lessons per month, depending on his traveling
schedule, and whether he can be persuaded to work more than necessary.
e.
Repeating:
Our amazing fee for all this, including the three days worth of lessons,
the Country Club Setting, the full set of existing documentation remaining
from Count Yogi (the ‘Full’ Platform To Perfection ® Kit with DVD’s, radio interviews, etc) and your
present set of clubs fully reviewed and analyzed for their correctness and
performance). As well as whatever it takes to send you home with a big
grin on your face is only $5,000.
i.
In the rare case that during the first day it becomes clear that
the student is not ready for Yogi, a full refund is given.
f.
The
main cost is YOU! You have to come here with the following PRE-commitment:
i.
Willingness and excitement to adopt the Count Yogi method without
any reservations
ii.
Willingness to ask questions, to understand the fun and tone of our
approach
iii.
An open mind
iv.
Don’t come if you are ‘fixing’ your game.
We don’t offer tips and fixes.
v.
Don’t come if you plan to just check it out.
Tim is developing the future Yogis of the world and wants people
who can commit to it, not curiosity seekers
vi.
Come if you just know down deep that Yogi is for you
vii.
Come if you would love to have fun, swing effortlessly, and enjoy
your golden years at your own club without real, exhausting frustration.
Let the GOLF COURSE and the GAME of GOLF frustrate you, not your
own clumsiness
viii.
Come if you also want to help us preserve this artform so the
coming generation will have access to it.
Tim is the LAST true teacher of Yogi Golf™ method
and he is in a time squeeze. This
is much much more than a commercial operation.
It is a chance to preserve and extend Count Yogi Golf to the world.
We want all students and potential students to be future boosters
of Count Yogi Golf. And for
those of you who become A+ Yogi style golfers and are able to bring in
super scores, we might even like it if you could be certified as a
teacher. But that is down the
road
10)
What do you do next if private lessons are possible for you?
a.
Call,
write or e-mail Count Yogi Golf
b.
Discuss
in detail what we offer
c.
Get
the materials IN ADVANCE and try to understand and prepare for your
lessons
d.
Arrange
a time slot for your lessons
e.
Place
a deposit to hold your position
f.

your present physical situation, so we may determine your personal
handling and being able to understand and know the correct type and
settings of the clubs you are currently using
g.
Get
in a positive state of mind to learn from Tim Nicholls
h.
Show
up on time and swing away. It
will be one of the highlights of your sporting life as well as a real
treat to put bad habits behind you
CONCLUSION:
Tim
has little time to waste. We
need good and enthusiastic men and women from all walks of life,
especially private clubmen, who will offer their time, money, and
expertise and so on to preserve and extend Count Yogi and the golfing
method via product form and personal instruction to this as well as the
next generation.
When
you have experienced a whole new dimension of golf as a result of your
lessons, when you feel that you desire to join with us and keep this
fabulous art form alive, and when you feel you can help in any way that
has an immediate impact, we will be glad to talk with you.
Finally,
be assured that your fees will not be making anyone rich!
Tim had promised the Count on his dying day to continue to extend
the 5-step system to the world and Tim has done that and is doing that.
But, he is not a young man any more and time is pressing in.
Get
your instructions while it is available!
