PGAWorldRecordGolfLesson077 RickMurphy, PGA director of instruction at the Carolina Golf Academy in Greensboro, N.C., gave a simultaneous golf lesson to some 5,500 fans attending the Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball game on May 15. Murphy and his staff also provided free 10-minute lessons before the game as part of PGA Free Lesson Month.
Though an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the "most people simultaneously taking a golf lesson" would not be certified, the world record is 632, set in China, on December 11, 2009.

Just back Thursday evening after shooting my new DVD series, Alignment Golf II. The photos below were taken in the 'green room' on our sound stage in Washington, DC. The outdoor work -- no photos yet -- was done at Belle Haven CC in Alexandria, Virginia.

Curt Sanders, Carolinas PGA 2007 Section Champion, 2008-9 Player of the Year, and Lynn Blake Certified Senior Instructor participated with me in the outdoor segments.

Much work remains to be done, including animations of such major concepts as the Geometry of the Circle, Hinge Action and Power. Our ambitious target release date: June 30, 2010. Stay tuned!

Brian Gay -- Champion / St. Jude Classic / June 11-14, 2009

Sunday, 14 June 2009 00:00

GAY GETS IT DONE (7 p.m.): In the end, there was never any doubt. The two-shot swing at the end of the third round meant nothing for Brian Gay. Even though his lead went from three shots to just one entering today's final round, he got off to another fast start and never looked back, much the way he did at the Verizon Heritage, where he won by 10. He didn't win by that much today -- just five -- but his 18-under total shattered the tournament record by six strokes.

The victory is Gay's second of the season and moves him to fourth in the FedExCup standings. He also became just the fifth wire-to-wire winner in tournament history and now will head to Bethpage Black, having earned a spot in the U.S. Open.
