Are you working with Tour players already or where you already working with Garrett?
Could you give us some background to Garrett, was he on the Golf Channel's Big Break program?
Thanks

No, no... Garrett Willis won the first PGA tournament start he made a number of years ago at Tuscon. He has been back and forth between the PGA and Nationwide Tours ever since.
I got to hang with Henny and J.R. during the practice round. Two GREAT guys. I watched them do their thing on the practice tee and Henny brought me some fried fish and chicken with hush puppies. Then I walked the front nine with them. I asked the boys on the way to the second tee . . . "You got all the fried chicken and fish you can eat and all the balls you can hit on the range . . . tell me again why we left the range?????"
J.R. is IMPRESSIVE. Nice guy too. It was fun to watch my boy Henny and J.R. do their thing.
Talked to B.G. too on the practice tee. He's all fit and stuff. That dude is LEAN and mean. I don't think they make them threads B wears in "husky." So looks like I will not be sporting no white belt anytime soon. Should be a good tournament for the boys.
I got some video of several players including J.R. & B. I just went up and down the fence filming cats on the range. If y'all can tell me how to send it to you I will. I got like 10 minutes worth of swings.

On Garrett he started using my training device called the Pure Ball Striker about 5 months ago and had some good results with the PBS. I was at the Wyndham Championship on Tuesday and he walked into the Bobby Grace Tour Van, which is owned by Scott Garrison. I was sitting there eating some fried fish, hush puppies, and fries. He had a plate of food and we started talking about the PBS he asked me to work with him so I did. We started with basic motion pitch and worked up to his total motion. We finished off with putting. He gave me a testimonial on the PBS and he asked me if I would be here all week I said no I had to go back to the club in Macon, GA because I just took a new job as head pro at Oak Haven Golf Club. I thanked him and we went on our way after 3.5 hours of work. It was a great experience working with him. Good luck to the entire field this week. Great 1st round of 64 Garrett.

Amazing Grace!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Garrett Willis is a good guy. Driven -- as are all in his league -- and with his own idiosynchrosies. But . . .
A good guy nonetheless.
We have had a couple of 'teaching' moments -- and I do mean moments -- in the past two years on both the Nationwide Tour and the PGA TOUR. And we say hello each time our paths cross. The last time was a putting session in Richmond with a metronome on the brim of his cap and thoughts of 'biting bass below'.
As Jeff has said . . .
Good luck to all who pursue this week's edition of The Land of the Meateaters.
