Well done team. Patience is not a virtue. It is a necessity

Let's see now, over the past year:
John Riegger wins a Nationwide event and is back on the PGA Tour. Jay Williamson almost wins a PGA event and is back on the PGA Tour. Brian Gay wins a PGA event. Greg Kraft wins a PGA event. I'm sensing a trend. I think I may need to get my butt back down to The Swamp before there aren't any openings on the lesson tee!
Congratulations to the players and "coach".

Thanks, dcg! And, regarding your Swamp visit, we better get with it: Q-School is just six months away!

Don't forget that Jay Williamson also won a Nationwide event (Ft. Smith) and was well on his way back before his great showing at The Travelers Championship! That makes a total of five PGA TOUR event championships -- two PGA TOUR and three Nationwide Tour -- won by LBG students in less than a year.

And now, with Brian, Greg, Jay and John enjoying PGA TOUR Exempt Status, leave the porch light on for one more:

Scott Dunlap.

As chronicled in these threads, Scott won the first Nationwide event of this year, the Panama Movistar Championship, and is now #4 on the Money List. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=5364 The Top 25 at year-end automatically get their PGA TOUR cards, and Scott has won $115,512 to date. http://www.pgatour.com/h/stats/info/?109

Last year, $196,896 made it, so with 26 events to go, things are lookin' good!

Great work, Greg and Lynn.

Still riding that LBG wave...and that wave is picking up momentum!

Thanks for all the support, guys (you, too, Stephanie!). It really means a lot to me.

And nobody is more fan-friendly than Greg, so he would get a big kick out of your congrats as well. But don't expect to hear from him, because as far as I know, he has never been on the site.

He did text me his appreciation from Puerto Rico, and that will have to do!

Lynn,
Congrats to you and Ted et. al at LBG for your great work with Gregg Kraft (and Scotty). I'm with Dcg though...I need to get back to the Swamp SOON or there will be NO times available on the lesson tee!

Just received my copy of Golfweek and the author of the article about this tournament said Greg Kraft was making swing changes with Dr. Jim Suttie. Huh?

If memory serves me, Greg had been working with Suttie prior to meeting Lynn. I seem to remember a post here that he was referred to Lynn by another player at one of the tournaments, and that is how their working relationship began. That doesn't mean he stopped working with Jim Suttie. It is not all that unusual for tour players to employ more than one pair of eyes concurrently. I know I shop at both Lowes and Home Depot.
