It’s been 15 months since my last competitive round, but I get to break that streak today at Congressional as I tee it up in the first round of the Middle Atlantic PGA Section Championship. I’m really looking forward to playing, and I will report in after round two.

I always encourage students to test their game in competition and I wanted to share this email with everyone:

This is an email conversation I recently had with Bob Kumpula, Conner Kumpula’s father. Conner is the Oregon Amateur champion who has been working with me online for about a year. His swing, as you will see in the upcoming online lesson, is simply awesome, one of the best I’ve seen. When the swing gets that good the topic of shot selection and course management becomes quite important (much less so when you can’t hit the ball where you are aiming). Here Bob (and Connor) asks a very pertinent question: Wayne, Thanks for the recent lesson. Conner wanted to ask…

It was a great day of practice out at the awesome TPC Sawgrass course where they play the “5th Major”, the Player’s Championship. Kevin has good memories here as he tied for 2nd two years ago (Tiger won by 2) and David Lingmerth 3-putted 18 to make Kevin a bunch more cash. Anyway, we started off warming up nicely, then went to the back of the range and I mostly watched as Kevin worked on shots around the green with Gabriel Hjertstedt, a two time Tour winner who was renowned for his stellar short game. Gabe is on the Streelman…

[Premium+Basic] There is a spirited debate among website members as well as in the golfing industry as a whole on the subject of whether or not increased performance (distance) made possible by equipment advances as well as human athletic progression is good or bad for the game.

Well, I had my 4th back surgery last Tuesday the 9th, and now a week later I am able to sit up and get some things done for the website. For those of you who were unaware of my condition I will give a little background. My back began to give me trouble way back when I was playing for the team at Wake Forest in 1976-77, but the problems were short lived and didn’t seem like much of an issue at the time. After I transferred to LSU I suffered a bizarre injury to my sternum which cost…

I gave my few lessons at the club and headed home on this Sunday in August to watch the final round of the PGA Championship. I was at Valhalla on Monday and Tuesday with Kevin Streelman, who missed the cut by 2 shooting 69-76. Kevin won the week after we started working together, but has not continued that success with any top finishes. We are still working on the same stuff, and there are some things that are proving to be fairly stubborn. Anyway, I’m home now and there was a delay in the starting times due to rain so…

Some important news regarding the web.com Tour – 2014 Midwest Classic
Continue readingSunday June 22 was a truly crazy day. I had been in Myrtle Beach since I drove down from DC Thursday afternoon, and had played a nice practice round on Friday at the Grande Dunes course. Saturday morning was the Sponsor Pro-Am, and I teed it up at 8:15 feeling OK, but a little dicey after the warm-up. The last 3 months had been off and on with what I thought were hip problems, as the pain that I felt in the mornings was located in the right hip and glute area, and at one point it got bad enough…
