Chrysler Classic of Greensboro

I was on the Tee today in Greensboro with Neal Lancaster and David Branshaw....Neal had his boys from the "White Swan" in Smithfield bring a "PIG" on the Practice Tee and we had us a "PiG Pickin"...Eastern NC style...Good Food Good Fun....

It just blows me away how good these guys are with such compensating stroke....


Branshaw had a bent plane line to the left and was wondering why his distance control was "fleety"...Need less to say he needed to take and go more downward and outward instead of trying to "go left" so sharply....

Lancaster had his "RPM's" in sync but his problem is the "Red Light District" of Tour Reps trying to get there count for a 3W and a Hybrid..No wonder he hasn't done as well as predicted..between entertaining his buddies and tour reps....we had the opportunity for about less than 5 Cumulative minutes to get some work done during a 1 hour session...

Met Aaron Baddelley..good Christin Kid..great motion..Andy Plummer has done a good job...

Oh well looking forward to getting home to my sanctuary..."The Creek"...

What changes has Plummer done with Baddeley?

I just saw it a few minutes ago. I was waiting for him to say something about uncocking then rolling along the plane line. Didn't really get that

With "Cuz" we keep it simple..

He's like "herdin cats"....

Looks like Brian has decided to shred the field this week. He's -6 through 14 with a par 5 remaining. That's T1 for the moment. Yeeeee Haaaa! Go Brian, go...

We talked for about an hour last night, and he was relaxed and confident in the way he's been striking the ball. My last words to him were:

"You've earned your spurs and waited your turn. It could happen at any time."

He chuckled, and we called it a night.

I try to keep live scoring up on my computer here at work. It is a nice distraction when things get boring. Looks like Brian lost one getting to the barn, but it is still a fine first round score. Four rounds like this one = hoisting hardware on the weekend.

Way to go BG.

It seems each week there are more and more pga guys to root for. What’s going to happen when two of our LBG/tgm brethrens battle it out for a win. LOL- actually I can’t wait for that to happen.

Speaking of tour players- how many tour pros are working with the pro staff on this site. Lynn, Jeff Hull, Rob Noel (Hunter) and Annikan account for several- and I know I’m missing some.

What other site has TOUR players, some online regulars, learning (and sharing) the same golf stroke information as we do.

And not to mention the vast number of teaching pga members and “Top 100” instructors log on here or attended a workshop or two.

I guess good information from decent guys will always win out.

LBG is a class act. The old adage- “You don’t tell people you are great- they will tell you.” You guys on here are GREAT.

I spoke to Aaron Baddelley on the Tee tuesday at Greenesboro...Interesting conversation...Kinda went like this

Annikan: "Hey Aaron could you tell me about your experience with Mac?

Badds: "Sure...He told me I had to get my left arm in 45 degrees to the Plane Line at P3...I said to myself..."What's that Mean?""

Annikan: "You know now... right?"

Badds: "Yeah...but Andy keeps it pretty simple...It's all about knowing what controls the intended flight of the ball!"

Annikan to himself: "No Kidding!!!"

Badds: "Hey ...take a look at this and tell me what you think!?!"

Annikan: "That's NIIIIIIICCCCCEEEE!...CF Draws with a Wedge?"

Annikan: "Now we gotta get Andy and Mike to become "Believers"...

Badds: [Pumps his Fist] as he looks back to our friends on the Tee..."Yeah!!!"



Badds a real cool dude...from down under...great move!!!!

Correct me if i am wrong but Neal Lancaster dumped his coach Dennis Sheehy about six months ago because he was too technical. Sheehy is not a AI so you would need to teach GM principles to Lancaster like talking to a child.

Tough to teach better players GM when they only want simple swing thoughts.

Thanks!
Which tilts and hand paths specifically. I gather Aaron was trying to hit a cf draw beforehand. What was incompatible?

I'm getting the impression that tilts, shoulder action and hand paths are fairly tightly linked in terms of what is compatible and what isn't.

Separately, some teachers emphasise a right arm/elbow that does NOT straighten through release and impact. What are they trying to achieve? Is it CF or CP? What is the TGM position on this?

I will only answer one question at a time!!!

They got him more centered as opposed to moving his head off the ball...

TGM position on this....This is a good thing!!!...


How did they do it?..hand pathmore inward thus steepening the shoulder plane reducing some of his excessive AXIS TILT...

That's enough for now...

One pill at a time for you Homerson..I can tell if we gave you the bottle ...you'd Overdose
