I feel as though I am doing a great disservice to everyone by not paying more attention to our man Brandel Chamblee and his incessantly negative commentary regarding Tiger Woods, Sean Foley, teaching in general, and whatever other subjects he might stumble upon. The fact is that I don’t have time to watch The Golf […]
Continue readingIn case you hadn’t noticed, the two Senior Tour players I have been working with are playing extremely well at Turnberry in the British Senior Open. Dick Mast continues to amaze at age 61, firing 66-73 to finish T-4 after the 2nd round. Gary Hallberg played one of the most amazing rounds in tournament and […]
Continue readingWow. That’s really all you could say watching Adam Scott’s implosion on the last 4 holes to lose the Open Championship and his best chance for his first major. What a big deal that is, winning your first major. It’s like a huge monkey off your back, a defining moment that promises more great things […]
Continue readingIt’s always nice to start a tournament round with a couple of birdies, like I did at the Arcola Country Club course in New Jersey for the U.S. Senior Open qualifier. It’s never nice to end with a couple of bogies, like I did at the end of the round on holes 16 and 17, […]
Continue readingIf you’re wondering why I haven’t been commenting on the U.S. Open this week it’s because I am swamped with lessons, family, and trying to prepare for a big week and a half of golf, with the US Senior Open Monday in New Jersey and the PNC (formerly known as the CPC) to be played […]
Continue readingI thought it was quite interesting that Tiger Woods, former victim of “over-teaching” and the “cancer” that is “academic instruction” won the Memorial Tournament while “natural” swingers Bubba Watson and Rory McIlroy missed the cut and another “grip it and rip it” star Ricky Fowler shot 84 next to Tiger’s 67. The point is not […]
Continue readingI want to thank everyone who followed my exploits and sent in your well-wishes as I battled away at the Senior PGA up in Michigan last week. I can only tell you that there are a lot of good players out there, and the scores after 36 holes indicate just what a test the course […]
Continue readingWell, I played pretty good today, but I couldn’t quite sustain it on the back nine as a few weak drives and some missed putts cost me an under par round and a chance at making the cut. I shot 1 under on the front after making a 20- footer for par on 1 and […]
Continue reading8 fairways, 11 greens, 35 putts: it adds up to 79. Lots of good players struggled today as the wind whipped up progressively as the day went on. My playing partners (Jay Don Blake and Kirk Hanefeld) were both at par or better on our first nine (the back), and Jay came in at even […]
Continue readingI have played in 9 major championships now and I have always enjoyed the practice rounds more than anything. It is so educational to play with great players who are preparing for an event that would be huge for anyone to win. It is also a great measuring tool, as I get to see how […]
