I was on the Tee today in Greensboro with Neal Lancaster and David Branshaw....Neal had his boys from the "White Swan" in Smithfield bring a "PIG" on the Practice Tee and we had us a "PiG Pickin"...Eastern NC style...Good Food Good Fun....
It just blows me away how good these guys are with such compensating stroke....
Branshaw had a bent plane line to the left and was wondering why his distance control was "fleety"...Need less to say he needed to take and go more downward and outward instead of trying to "go left" so sharply....
Lancaster had his "RPM's" in sync but his problem is the "Red Light District" of Tour Reps trying to get there count for a 3W and a Hybrid..No wonder he hasn't done as well as predicted..between entertaining his buddies and tour reps....we had the opportunity for about less than 5 Cumulative minutes to get some work done during a 1 hour session...
Met Aaron Baddelley..good Christin Kid..great motion..Andy Plummer has done a good job...
Oh well looking forward to getting home to my sanctuary..."The Creek"...
Looks like Brian has decided to shred the field this week. He's -6 through 14 with a par 5 remaining. That's T1 for the moment. Yeeeee Haaaa! Go Brian, go...

Thanks for putting this up, Steph.
Brian loves the support he's getting from his LBG gallery!
We talked for about an hour last night, and he was relaxed and confident in the way he's been striking the ball. My last words to him were:
"You've earned your spurs and waited your turn. It could happen at any time."
Changed his Tilts...Hand Paths.....Shoulder Plane....
Understanding!!!!
Thanks!
Which tilts and hand paths specifically. I gather Aaron was trying to hit a cf draw beforehand. What was incompatible?
I'm getting the impression that tilts, shoulder action and hand paths are fairly tightly linked in terms of what is compatible and what isn't.
Separately, some teachers emphasise a right arm/elbow that does NOT straighten through release and impact. What are they trying to achieve? Is it CF or CP? What is the TGM position on this?
