Jordan Spieth Pitching: Video for Tony Romo

By Wayne | PGA Professionals , Tour Players and Celebrities , Videos: Swing Analysis

Back in January of 2018 I played in the Isleworth Invitational, partnering with Tony Romo. Tony had been playing quite a bit with Jordan Spieth, and we had a great time practicing on the fabulous short game area at the club with me showing Tony some things and Tony sharing with me some of Spieth’s secrets to his amazing pitching game. I had recorded Spieth off a couple of televised events, focusing on his short game, one of which was the Hero World Challenge, also at Isleworth, where Spieth blitzed the field while shooting an incredible 26 under par (Isleworth…

TP&C: Tony Romo Swing Golf Swing Analysis February 2018

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I had a great time playing 3 straight days with Tony as his partner in the Isleworth Invitational, a Pro-am event with players such as John Cook, Nick O’Hern, and many other excellent players including a lot of younger guys working at Isleworth and playing the mini-tours. Tony has made some nice progress with his swing technique over the past year after coming back from multiple back surgeries due to football injuries, even while missing a bunch of playing and practice time with his new position as lead NFL announcer for CBS Sports.

TP&C: Online Lesson: Tony Romo

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

This is not a long video for the simple reason that Tony’s swing is improving and he is gaining on the things we have been working on. He tends to push his hands well out away from his body in the takeaway while fanning the face open, which gets the club flatter than the plane at left arm parallel (P3) and leads it to lay off and get a bit stuck in the downswing if he doesn’t rotate fast enough. Tony, like many powerful amateur players, sees a draw ball flight and tends to approach impact from the inside, which is why we have worked on visualizing a straight to left to right ball flight.

TP&C: Tony Romo Part 5

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I’m back down in Texas at Trinity Forest with Tony Romo, and we are making nice progress with Tony’s swing as well as his ability to manage himself on the course. I’m focusing on educating Tony about what his swing tendencies are and how he can address issues and improve over time by understanding what will make his swing more efficient and repeatabl

TP&C: Tony Romo at the 2017 Celebrity Classic

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

It’s always nice to be able to see your swing under pressure, and when you’re Tony Romo and you’re paired with Steph Curry and Justin Timberlake in a televised event there’s a good chance you’re going to get some nice air time. Of course, this gives me a great opportunity to watch Tony perform when it counts and it gives Tony a good idea of what his tendencies are when he’s got some heat on him.

TP&C: Tony Romo Part 4

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

A few weeks ago, I met Tony up in New York where we played 18 holes and took some shots of his swing on the course (you can watch that video on the website). Since then Tony had me come down to Dallas where we met and worked at the new Trinity Forest Golf Club, site of next year’s Byron Nelson Classic. Tony was excited about the suggestions I had made after our first encounter (we actually met four years ago but he has been injured pretty much the whole time since then) and had started hitting the ball better.

TP&C: Tony Romo Part 3

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

You may be aware that Tony is a stellar athlete who up to now has played golf strictly in his spare time and as a hobby. Now that he has retired as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys for the less injurious position of NFL analyst he is ready and able to put more work into his golf game and would like to become a serious amateur competitor. I met Tony in January of 2013 at the Isleworth Invitational when I was invited to join his group for a practice round on the back 9 after my 3 playing partners had retired for the day. Upon introducing myself Tony remarked that he had watched the video I had done commenting on Peter Kostis’ television comparison of Tony’s swing with that of Tom Brady.

TP&C: Tony Romo Update

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

It’s been a little over a week since I worked with Tony at Isleworth, where he tried to incorporate my suggestions in the middle of the event we were playing in (despite my objections) and ended up winning the amateur side of the tournament, which was a nice accomplishment as the course was extremely challenging and being a pro-scratch had some nice amateur players in the field. He was excited to take the new swing thoughts out to Pebble Beach, where he was paired with Texas University phenom Jordan Spieth. He shot a nice 68 in the first round, helped…

TP&C: Tony Romo

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

Some time ago I did a video that focused on a Peter Kostis analysis done during a Tour event comparing the swings of Tom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback, and Tony Romo, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Romo had the far superior swing, but the video concentrated more on Kostis’ use of what I considered bad camera angles to comment on certain parts of their swings. So, when the rest of my foursome quit after 9 in the practice round for the Isleworth Pro-Invitational I went out onto the back 9 as a single, which lasted a hole until…
