Do you recall the scene from the movie Caddyshack (funny movie) when Ty Webb, played by Chevy Chase, randomly putts in several golfs balls in a Zen-like fashion? Watch the YouTube video below. (It takes a second or two for the audio to come on.)
So now you know what I mean by “Putt Like Ty Webb.” Is this possible?
After some thought, I came up with a new idea. Attach my Alpha Performance Disk directly to the shaft of a putter. Refer to my post AlphaWAVE Relaxation / Performance Improvement Disk for details on the disk, what it does and how it works.
Here’s my idea sketch:
I’ll design a simple experiment to be executed at the local golf course putting green. I’ll be the intervention group (the one who uses the disk), and a friend the control group. Note that neither of us actually play golf. I happen to have an old putter that a friend gave to me.
I just want to see if I can sink a putt 95% of the time using the disk. Nothing fancy like Ty did in Chaddyshack, just sink the putt. We’ll notate all the data at the course, and use this neat Excel spreadsheet that performs the statistical calculations from Rik Higham (via the web). Really could have used this in college – so cool! I’ll change the headings for our use.
To make the disk holder, I began with a slice of leftover 4″ ABS pipe, which I used for my eBike battery holder eBike Build.
I then cut two small pieces and glued them to the inner center of the ring. These will support the Alpha disk.
I attached the disk to the ring with double-sided sticky tape.
I purchased some clip-on spring brackets and attached one to the ABS ring with a bolt and nut.
Here’s the disk clipped to the putter. It looks pretty strange (like a fried egg), but hey who cares if it works. I am sure I will get a lot of questions at the golf course. Maybe I can sell a few, or take breakfast orders!
I will let you know the results in a future blog post.
Perhaps this invention will release my inner Tiger… Tiger Woods that is!
News Flash – Man Communicates with Marine Mammals!
North America – Mr. G (of mrgsmind.com) hopes to one day communicate with wolves using electro-mechanical ears fitted onto a headband – Earlingo – The Animal Assisted Therapy Headband, or signal to cuttlefish using a Light Emitting Diode (LED) communication display board – Cuttlefish Comm Board. For now, both hopes are only dreams.
Currently, however, he does use his dreams to communicate with animals, specifically marine mammals. This may sound a bit strange, but not to Mr. G, who has been studying dreams for more than forty years.
Mr. G, who describes himself as a “garage psychologist,” became interested in animal psychology while a college student. After graduation, he worked at the university as a research assistant, caring for and testing the hearing thresholds of California sea lions, under the direction of Dr. Ronald Schusterman.
Since retiring as a support engineer, he has focused his energy on working with animal communication in his dreams. He utilizes several “tools” that he has invented to accomplish his goal.
Mr. G spends thirty minutes a day conditioning himself to have animal communication dreams at night, using his Pattern Disc Viewer – Pattern Disc Viewer and a Pattern Disc. In this way, he says that he sets the theme of his dreams, which enables his brain to “manufacture” a specific type of dream. He says that this process can be utilized for any type of dream that one would like to have. One only needs to create the desired Pattern Disc and practice.
Wearing the Pattern Disc Viewer, the Pattern Disc image is viewed and flashed with red LEDs during the day. The disc image is also somewhat “camouflaged” with a pattern over the image. Mr. G says that the brain will quickly store the image in memory, and it will not appear in dreams as often. Disguising the image makes the brain think that it is something new, and it “pops up” in the dream on a regular basis.

He also spends thirty minutes, three times a week, using his Alpha Generation Glasses – Alpha Brainwave Generation Glasses and/or Alpha Generation Disc – AlphaWAVE Relaxation / Performance Improvement Disk. It has been determined that people who generate more Alpha brain Waves (7 – 12Hz) have more lucid dreams. Both the alpha glasses and the disc create Alpha brain waves with their use. The “Alpha State” is a very pleasurable state of mind, which Mr. G believes could be used to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or to enhance athletic performance.
Lucid dreams, which is where he communicates with the marine mammals, is his ultimate dream state. In a lucid dream, one becomes aware that they are dreaming. Once lucid, the dreamer can control the direction of the dream. In Mr. G’s case, he has conditioned himself to utilize the image of the man (himself) communicating with marine mammals on the Pattern Disc, as the subject matter or theme of his dream. Once lucid, he begins communicating with the mammals. “Crazy he says, but fun.”

But how is the lucid dream state initiated? Mr. G uses an older device that he invented, with the help of an electrical engineer, Bob W. from Southern California.
The device, which he calls, “The Dream Trainer,” – The Dream Trainer is hidden within a piece of furniture next to his bed. He opens up a side door and the hidden dream trainer becomes accessible for use at night.
The Dream Trainer
The Dream Trainer’s primary mode, although it has several, is to detect Rapid Eye Movement or REM, which occurs at the onset of dreaming.This is accomplished using a motion sensor mounted onto one side of a pair of goggles. On the other side of the goggles is a ring of red LEDs, which will begin to flash over the closed eyelid once REM is detected.
The conditioning of the red LEDs flashing, while viewing the Pattern Disc during the day, now acts as a “cue” when the red LEDs in the goggles flash while dreaming. The result being that Mr. G often becomes alert or lucid in his dream, but not awakened from sleep. Usually, he is already dreaming of marine mammals because of daily conditioning, and begins a conversation.
What do the marine mammals talk about? He said, “Mostly about their day-to-day activities. How they find food, the things they try to avoid, or even the warming of the ocean.”
Mr. G knows that the conversations are really just a manifestation of his own life experiences, but says it is still very exciting to talk with animals in an altered state of consciousness . He says, “It feels like it’s really happening!”
He also knows how important sleep and dreams are to one’s health, energy level and memory development. Therefore, he only wears the dream goggles two nights a week, as it can be disruptive to the sleep cycle.
Why do this at all? Mr. G says, “Mostly because it is fun, but also to learn new things about the brain, memory development, and possibly discover something new that could be helpful to other people.”
He is hopeful that one day that “dream” will become a reality!
