...and from Lil Zach to David Toms.

[Brian Manzella]

I've been at the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic the last couple of days helping my old pal DT.

Pull for him this week.

 

[hue]

Will do. What have you been working on with him? Is it the same stuff as last time?

 

[rbaumgolf]

It should encourage all of us that even guys like DT at his level need "help" to "fix" things. DT was on a hot streak but recently has missed cuts and not played well. I'll be rooting for him........

 

[birdie_man]

Whoa mint. How'd you end up there? [EDIT]: O ic....this tourney is in New Orleans...

And ya, how'd you fix him?

 

[wanole]

awesome Brian. Now DT, just give props when you do well!!!

What was he doing wrong? I assume just his normal bad habits.

 

[wanole]

NICE -3 TODAY.

 

[Brian Manzella]

David has a tendency to get the club swinging too inside-out and has to save it with a hand oriented low finish.

We fixed it.

He was 4-under with 4 to play, with 240 to a par 5 and hit it in the water and made 6 (just came up short).

He birdied the next hole, but bogeyed his 17th and made an up and down par at his 18th(#9) with a wedge (just came up a hair short).

Hopefully tomorrow will be lower (67 or lower would be nice), but as long as he is swinging like he did today, he'll be fine.

Props were given to the media for your boy.

 

[wanole]

do you think you might become his "full-time" guy? Is that something you would like to do?

 

[Brian Manzella]

I was very happy to be able to help again. Anything else is gravy.

David mentioned that you helped him?

 

[scandres]

So Manz, should we look for the next Golf Digest Rob Akins article to be about how to get the club on plane? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I'm happy for you and also that DT acknowledged your contribution.
Great job, the proof is in the results.

 

[hue]

Brian: The things you are working on are the same as last time you worked with him when he won a tournament. Why is it that players of his quality don't get it and you have to keep helping them with the same issues?

 

[bts]

Sounds like too much "lag" on the top and coming down.

How prophetic! Nice!

Good work Brian.Will be pulling hard for DT this weekend.

 

[Brian Manzella]

Keep it up guys, ya'll are doing a good job.

 

[birdie_man]

Sounds like you did a good job Brian...

Good work man...I'll be pulling for DT for sure.

A nice follow up today for Toms. The fact that he's not using a Taylor Made driver makes your instruction that more impressive! I can't believe I'm rooting for a Cleveland guy this weekend, that in itself is one of the most telling endorsements you'll ever have.

Another sole totally hoodwinked by the oem marketing machine.[V]

The cleveland comp is probably one of the best ever drivers produced. The hi-bore "can be" better but it suits certain players and is tricky to fit correctly.
