As I viewed the same segement that you mentioned in the above post during the telecast yesterday. I was shocked to hear the diagnosis from the practice tee pro in regards to what the issues were with Tony's swing. "More shoulder turn, get your back facing the target" I believe these words were the remedy for the illness. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. As for the progress that Tony has made over the past three years, congrats. As for the instruction he received during his mini lesson, I hope it fell on deaf ears. Heading to the practice tee armed with such information, I fear Tony may not be moving off his 8 handicap for some time.

Great round by BG today. Being a former Gator I hope he continues his fine play. In saying that, I sit way up here in the great white North hoping our hometown boy JK [Jerry Kelly] keeps moving up the leaderboard as well.

Truly missed you in Hawaii this year and wish you the best next week in Orlando.

This is Lynn Blake Golf.

Today, we've heard from Jim Schuman. Credentials above.

Who ya gonna call?



Meanwhile, Lynn Blake Golf Master Instructors Ted Fort and Jeff Hull are in Port St. Lucie, Florida, preparing for this week's PGA Winter Series Stroke Play Championship, the PGA's signature winter event. More from them as the week progresses and we follow their cards.



This summer, I'll be at Hershey CC, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, at the PGA's Professional National Championship, the most prestigious event of the PGA's rank and file. The Top 20 finishers are exempt into the year's fourth major, the PGA Championship, this year held at the Atlanta Athletic Club in my home town, Atlanta, Georgia. I have four players in the field, Ted Fort, Kip Henley, Jeff Hull, and Curt Sanders.

Hey, Kip Henley . . . isn't he Brian Gay's caddy?

Right you are!

He's also a Class A PGA professional who just happened to win the Tennessee PGA Section Championship this year with a 12-under-par score. This in his "week off" before he carried BG's bag at Whistling Straits in the PGA Championship.

C'mon guys.

Is all this just "luck"?

Just so much "junk science"?

If so . . .
