Thanks guys I really enjoyed that look inside the ropes. Brilliant commentary too. When it comes to "shots", short or otherwise , Yoda knows em inside out , upside down, any which way but loose.

My apologies for adding a very selfish post. Memories of my good friend Jerry and I getting to spend 2 days with Lynn at the PGA Championship at Hazeltine.
Yoda never saw a tour player he didn't respect, and didn't see a swing he didn't love. Lynn found the beauty in every motion, and was able to break each one down into the language of the machine. We thought throwaway was taboo. Yoda explained how the very best players learned to "manage" throwaway for certain shots. ALWAYS POSITIVE. No right or wrong but each players preference.
One interchange I'll never forget. We watched Lynn Stand 6 feet from Tiger watching him hit balls.
Kevin: We saw you watching Tiger, what would you change in his swing Yoda?
Lynn: Are you kidding me? Tiger Woods is the greatest player in the world. I was watchin' and learnin'.
The great ones are humble enough to never stop learning, and always find the positive. What a privilege to be a student of LBG.

Jason Who?
Let the record show that I was talking about Jason Dufner (on my PGA Championship video) three days before he decided to tie for the 36-hole lead!

Thanks, Kev.
Loved our time at Medinah. You guys were the best . . . before, during, and especially -- after!  -- our appointed rounds!

Brian Gay Putting Practice
Another player had put the chalk lines down, but BG spotted'em as we walked onto the putting green and took full advantage.

The best of the best. No coincidence there either I don't think. Thank you Lynn.

Bradley Keegan . . .Keegan Bradley . . . Just Get It Right On the Wanamaker!
By coincidence (or fate . . . take your pick!) the first player I referenced on my 27-minute video from the practice areas of the PGA Championship was . . .
Bradley Keegan.
Oops!
As the world now knows, it's . . .
Keegan Bradley.
Oh no! "Say it ain't so, Joe"! http://books.google.com/books/about/...d=LQjYldDrWq4C
Hey, is it my fault the guy's first name is a last name? And, that his last name is a first name? Not to mention that he is a PGA TOUR rookie and this was his first win!
Still sounds like a Wall Street firm to me!
Whatever, we all know it now:
Keegan Bradley, PGA Champion! http://www.pgatour.com/players/03/31/41/
