Brandel is Off The Charts

By Wayne | blog

Chamblee is off the charts. I have to think his diatribes are calculated to foment controversy. I mean seriously; what basis does he have for not calling Tiger the greatest player if he wins 19 majors? What, you don’t like Tiger? You don’t like that he dumped Butch?

2011: My Year in Competition

By Wayne | blog

By Wayne | blog

One of the problems with “old school” instruction (it’s trying to make a comeback: just ask Brandel Chamblee) is that the things it relies on, i.e. the sound of the strike and the ball flight, are subjective when it comes to ascertaining what produced them. Trackman has shown that our conventional ideas about why a ball flies the way it does are incorrect.

Hallberg, Mast Secure Champions Tour Cards With Help From WDGLC

By Wayne | blog

It is with a great deal of satisfaction and relief that I can report that two of my friends and students, Dick Mast and Gary Hallberg, have achieved exempt status on the 2012 Champions Tour by virtue of their fine play at the recently completed Senior Q-School. Hallberg finished tied for 2nd at 16 under par, while Mast finished tied for 11th, finally nailing down the 12th and final conditionally exempt spot in a playoff.
