    American Idol

    Just when you think you've seen it all, you're watching American Idol with the wife and there he is. Kip Henley, Big Break winner, Brian Gay's caddie, and all around good guy (played with him in several mini tours), is standing with his former Miss Teen USA daughter with a gold ticket to...

    All is Right With the World

    When I was away for the PGA National Stroke Play event in South Florida, the Steelers did what they do best and took care of the pretenders and proceeded to complete the formality of getting to yet another Super Bowl. I thought it was rather kind to take the second half off so CBS wouldnt lose...

    I promise I'll contribute!

    Are there any over 50yr old PGA Members interested in playing in the national Senior/Junior this January in Port St. Lucie with me? I was going to play in the stroke play championship and it looked like a fun event with a nice purse.

    The Ghost of TC Chen

    If Mahan wouldve double hit that chip it wouldve followed him the rest of his career. It missed by the hair of my you know what. That said, tough position to be in. Good grief thats alot of pressure.

    Best student ever

    My good friend and student, Nathan Smith, tied for the stroke play medal at the US Mid Am in Long Island. He's defending champion so Im impressed with his play having a bulls eye on his back. Nathan is the epitiome of what a teacher wants in a student. The way he absorbs and applies information...

    Mylan Classic

    Well, I just finished up today. Just thought I'd share a few things. First, what I learned about myself. Im very comfortable in those surroundings. Ive always enjoyed spectators at sporting events. I pitched in front of 5000 people against China in the Pony League World Series at 13 so its not...

    I'm Half Way There

    In 2003, I won 6 or 7 PGA section events, set a money record that still stands (without playing in several Class A only events), made the cut and contended in a Nationwide event (with a 62 in the Monday qual), almost made the cut in my first PGA Tour event and set several course records along...

    Sergio Garcia & The Tumble

    I was just in awe looking at this swing. How does he ever miss? I am working on several things in my own swing (no, not the lag) that would be consistent with some of these positions. Does anybody else like this swing? I try so hard to not show preference, but to me this is reeeeally solid.

    My Rant

    Several media forms have been wondering aloud what the possible effect of Tiger's absence will be on the Tour. Discounted rates for title sponsors, lower purses, etc. They present the story, and others like it (the economy and free agents), like we the consumer should actually care. I think its...

    Hardly worthy of an entire thread but....

    Can all you Casio experts out there give me THE DEFINITIVE model to buy considering the following: I dont video a ton in a lesson I'm really not smart with tech stuff I just want the most frames per sec for the buck I'm pumped to get it but I dont want to whiff on the model. Thanks in advance.

    The forgotten fundamental

    What do the swings of Payne Stewart, Tom Watson, Colin Montgomerie, Sam Snead, Vijay Singh, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, John Daly, and Freddie (sometimes), have in common? First, they all had beautiful rythym and long languid turns. With the exception...

    Canadiens only....

    I never thought to mention this to all the Canucks around here but Ive worked at a great indoor golf and hockey facility for the past seven years. Anyway, guess who's my boss? Dave Hanson. If that name doesnt ring a bell think "Slap Shot". Yes, one of the Hanson brothers is my boss. He's...

    Day One at the Trackman Users Conference

    Well, Jon Hardesty and I are drinking our $4.50 bottles of water contemplating our 45 minute conversation at the bar (ok....my "water is a Corona) with the man himself, Fredrik Tuxen. To have his ear for that long seemed quite the priveledge, to say the least. We will report fully on the content...

    Power and the Pull Hitter

    We all know that a pull hitter generally has more power than an opposite field home run hitter. Since the baseball swing is also on a 3D plane, could the same principle of spin loft apply? The pull hitter usually steps (or aims) to the right, catches the ball very early in the strike zone (later...

    GTE Trackman swings

    I dont want to speak for Brian but im pretty sure there were many more "volunteers" than we thought for having their swings put on Trackman at the beginning of the summit. Then after getting some interesting questions, we never got to every one on the discussion floor. If anyone would like...

    Thank you to Manz

    I just got back from the National Assistants Championship. I shot 69-75-69-73 and finished 39th. Not great but I have always had a history of chipping and putting poorly in South Florida. So why the thanks? I used to be a really good player. For the last 4 years, even though ive won some...
