Jeremy has been a solid player for William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Va., and has one more semester before graduating and turning professional. He showed some real promise last summer by reaching the semi-finals of the Virginia State Amateur (losing to a 60- foot putt on the 18th hole) and finishing 5th in the […]

We have seen Joey’s swing a couple of times before, and here you can see continuing progress with his left wrist action and shaft movement in transition. I have a good feeling about Joey’s ability to build his swing into a great one, as he has a nice build for the game and a tremendous […]

You have seen Joey before, and what you find here is more or less a repeat of the last lesson I posted. Joey is a very good junior (he won the Optimist International Junior Championship this year at the Champions course in Palm Beach, Fla. against an international field) but his excellent play has come […]

If you missed the first installment of the P.A.T. (Player Ability Test) Project with CJ D’Arco you should know that CJ is a young aspiring assistant pro at a neighboring club who, in order to gain status in the PGA of America, must pass the playing test by shooting somewhere in the neighborhood of 78-78 […]
