Time for my leadbetter story, so grab a cool one while a type.

I had a chance to play an exclusive private golf course with some folks from another golf forum- a golf course architecture forum. Nice people, extremely wealthy, multiple country clubs membership people. A gentleman that I played with sat at lunch and spoke of his week long golf trip to the NE- he played Westchester, Wing Foot, Pine Valley, Plainfield and heading to Congressional.

It turned out that he was in my foursome. After a few holes I noticed something- he set up his right forearm in line with the shaft at address. The only other golfer on the course doing that was- Me!

I had to ask with who was his instructor.

“Where did you learn that?” I knew he was going to say Blake or Fort or someone like that.

“Leadbetter, he is my instructor.” I had no reason to doubt him. “ He is teaching Els the same set up.”


This guy had a nice set up, beautiful swing, he had a magic right forearm.

I guess Leadbetter is quietly learning his TGM from the Blake revival.

Hi Lead- what’s your screen name????
