By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Scott is from California but had a wedding to attend in the DC area so he decided to stop in and spend some time with me at Woodmont. We had 3 hours to work on Monday, then 3 more on Tuesday morning, and I feel like we got a lot accomplished, as I think you will see.   The first thing that occurred to me is that Scott has a nice, aggressive looking action that to the eye seems under control and manageable.
