It looks as though the LBG leaderboard is adding members as the months go by here. IMO getting noticed on "the big stage" is the best route to increasing the prominence of TGM as taught by LBG. As demands on your time increase, it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
You are going to be one busy 900 year old.........

Meanwhile, in Puerto Rico, Greg Kraft went low with a 6-under par 66 and is now T4 at -9 and only 3 shots back. Greg's round was one of three 66s, the low score of the day. From the PGATOUR.com:
Veteran Greg Kraft moved into contention with a 6-under 66 and stands at 9-under 135 through 36 holes. Kraft is making his 379th career start on the PGA TOUR. He won the 1993 Deposit Guaranty Classic when it was an unofficial event by making a birdie at the 72nd hole to beat Morris Hatalsky and Tad Rhyan by one stroke. He also captured the 2005 Northeast Pennsylvania Classic on the Nationwide Tour.
After 36, here's the LBG Leaderboard:
Greg Kraft -- 69-66 / -9 / T4 Brian Gay -- 69-70 / -5 / T14 John Riegger -- 71-70 / -3 / T34 Jay Williamson -- 71-71 / -2 / T48 Neal Lancaster -- 73-70 / -1 / T60 Robin Freeman -- 75-74 / +5 / MC
With 81 players (80 professionals) making the cut, the field will be subjected to a 54-hole cut on Saturday, with the nearest number of players to 70 making it to the final day.
Just logging on after spending the day at The Golf Club at Cuscowilla in Eatonton, Georgia, with LBG Gallery star Collin Neeman. Collin has just turned 21 and is headed for The Gateway minitour wars in West Palm Beach, Florida, next week.
After 54, here's the good news from the Puerto Rico Open:
Kraft put together his third straight sub-70 round to start a tournament, something he hadn't accomplished since the Tucson Open in 2002. That's also the tournament where Kraft says he contracted Valley fever, which attacked his lungs and set his career back for several seasons.
"I'm tickled pink where I'm at," Kraft said. "You never know what'll happen."
RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Greg Kraft shot a 70 to outlast Bo Van Pelt on the final holes, finishing 14 under for a one-shot victory at the inaugural Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular on Sunday.
Jerry Kelly (70), at No. 63 the highest-ranked golfer here, and Van Pelt (72) were second at Trump International Golf Club. Briny Baird (72) and Kevin Stadler (67) were another shot behind.
Kraft won the Deposit Guarantee Classic in Mississippi 15 years ago. Since it took place the same weekend as the Masters, however, it didn't count as an "official" win on the PGA TOUR.
The world's best may have again been elsewhere for Kraft's latest success, playing in the World Golf Championships-CA Championships in Florida, but this time his success is bona fide.
Kraft earned $630,000 -- more than he's made on the PGA TOUR combined since 2003 -- and has secured playing privileges through 2010. He had played only two other TOUR events this season, his best finish before now a tie for 19th at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico, which also came the week of a WGC tournament.
Last May Yoda posted this regarding Gregs improvement. Greg and I began our work together in mid-April at the Nationwide's Athens Regional Foundation Classic in Bogart, Georgia. We continued it the following week at the Henrico County Open in Richmond, Virginia. I broke into a broad smile -- actually a LOL! -- when I read his text message to me a couple of days after our first session:
"Got my straight line baseline with my right forearm flying wedge."
Way to go Greg and cheers to a great comeback.
