Right Forearm Magic On the PGA TOUR
Quote:
In the actual Address, Brian maintains his On Plane alignment. Heath, on the other hand, lowers his forearm a bit at Address and then returns to its pre-shot alignment during Impact. In today's NBC telecast, there were several good views of Heath's Forearm pre-positioning from down-the-line, e.g., on the 15th tee, and also from 'in front and forward' on the 18th tee. Both players make obvious use of the technique in their Putting. With Heath tied for the lead at -9 and Brian tied for 4th at -6, things are looking pretty sweet for the Right Forearm Gang! :) |
The Mystic Goodies
The NBC commentators mentioned that Heath Slocum had worked with his instructor earlier in the week and made a few adjustments.
Unfortunately for the television audience, they did not mention either the instructor or those adjustments. But... Fortunately for the members of LynnBlakeGolf.com, I did a video on Tuesday afternoon with Heath and his instructor, Mark Blackburn. The subject of that video? I bring glad tidings... That would be those very same adjustments, as they were being made! I'm off to Orlando tomorrow for the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill (and our fully-subscribed LBG Academy at Falcon's Fire later in the week), but I'll get Mrs. Yoda to ship the video out to Bagger on Monday. Assuming he is not otherwise engaged in his day job of multi-jillion dollar product launches with a major S & P 500 company -- I luv ya, man! :) -- he'll get it up toward the end of next week. Is this a great place or what!? :D |
The mothership has landed . . . The revolution will be televised.

It was great watching Brian set up to his shot with the right forearm on plane. I pointed out to my wife that his set-up procedure was exactly the way Yoda taught me exactly 2 years ago this month down at The Swamp. Whether you are a double digit handicapper, single digit handicapper, or touring pro------the TRUTH is the TRUTH. Thank you Mr. Kelley. Thank you Yoda. Let's hope the Mr. Gay and Mr. Slocum have a huge day on Sunday.

Not only is Brian's wife, Kimberly, a huge part of Team Gay, she also plays a pivotal role in many events for wives of PGA TOUR players, especially for those new to the TOUR. Her latest is an all-day event for the ladies at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. I witnessed first-hand her behind-the-scenes talents when she organized Brian and me last November for the Verizon Communications Executive Clinic at the Golden Bear Club at Keene's Point, Florida. The event involved some 40 or so VIPs for Verizon, and it went off without a hitch. Thanks, Kimberly! :) |
