Nevertheless, despite his talent, drive and career-long pursuit of perfection, his Game eighteen months ago was a trainwreck. Putting it charitably, it just 'wasn't hap'nin'. Last week, he and I presented our three-day LBG Academy at the PGA of Southern California Golf Club. He would be the first to tell you that many of the principles presented there were first presented to him only eighteen months before.
The prior week, Ted finished solo second in a championship field of approximately sixty Georgia Section PGA Professionals. The following day, he shot 70 - two under par -- in a Pro-Am featuring many of the same professionals (but where low pro scores were not recorded). All of which is really 'more of the same': In a major Georgia Section PGA match play event three weeks after last summer's birth of Ted, III, Ted, Jr. -- who had been virtually AWOL from the golf course for weeks -- and his partner finished second.
Bottom Line:
Ted Fort is today playing a different Game. A Game based on Alignments, not Positions. A Game he teaches daily to his students.
And, in case you haven't noticed...
I am so very proud of him!
I have seen Ted,s action first hand and his ball striking is very impressive . The ball just never leaves the stick and you get the feeling that Ted is really thinking about and doing his best to hit it not just get it close.
Yoda: I understand that Ted was formerly a swinger . What was it about his action that made you feel that he was better suited to being a hitter?
Ted: How many shots a round do you feel you have improved by making your change to hitting.
