Jeff,
Truly, playing the tournament was a great accomplishment, and these past few days of posts demonstrate your great attitude. I admire and respect you for both. Good luck in August.

Short game
 

Jeff,
All right, so how do you plan to improve that short game?
I feel that LBG and TGM have focused on the mechanics of the machine in
the full swing, but as you spotlighted, scoring in golf is a lot more than that.
I'd like to see LBG begin to put the short game under the magnifying glass to see if we all could improve our scoring. It seems like the tour players use a lot of half and three-quarter shots (controlling the spin) inside 100 yards. How do they do that?
Once again, congrats for your accomplishments. Being able to watch you practice the last three holes has added a great deal to my enjoyment while watching the network coverage of the same three holes.
In fact, CBS (or the Golf Channel) would do well by featuring a walking interview with an amenable PGA pro while practicing the closing holes of every tournament. It would be fascinating to watch replays of that when the leaders come down the stretch.

Jeff,
Congratulations on qualifying for this tournament and doing an excellent job under adverse conditions. I looked at the paper yesterday am and saw a number of "big name" players that finished behind you. Keep pluggin' away and best wishes for a great summer of G.O.L.F.
Just curious, "what's in the bag?"

It's in the book
 

I plan to improve the short game the same why I would improve any other aspect of my game, find a pattern in the book that works and practice. The problem with the short game is that it is much harder to prepare for the multitude of shots that you can get around the greens. The key is understanding hinge action and being able to reproduce all 3 at any speed from any lie.

Homer talks a great deal about power regulation in the book. On one of the videos we talk about eliminating accumulators and reducing speed to create softer shots. The key to great golf is being able to compress the ball at less than full power. The more you play and practice, the better you become at this. Watch a tour event during the practice rounds and you will see these players working on hinge action around the greens, whether they know they are or not.

I would like to have Lynn's input on this but I think there is quite about about the short game in the video section and in the forum. Remember, short shots have the same execution as full shots, just fewer accumulators and less power.

Thanks Daryl! It was all because you got me to understand the importance of Hip Action.

No mini-tour here
 

Again, do not misinterpret what happened this week. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE EVENT WAS GREAT EXCEPT THE WEATHER AND THE DECISION TO KEEP PLAYING!!!! The lack of officials is because the players know where to get the information on their website. I was a guest in their event and did not know all of the procedures.

Like I posted earlier, these are the best players in the world and are treated as such. I think Jay williamson said that this is the "fantasy tour" and he is correct! I could definitely get used to the "job".

I think my post may have come out the wrong way.

Congratulations on your week, that is one hell of an accomplishment. I also appreciate the posts telling us what happened good or bad.

Much luck in the future especially in the PGA Professional National Championship.

One more thing Jeff
 

How come you didn't tell us about the tree behind 18 that jetted Kenny Parry's approach back across the green into the drink?????????

What tree?
 

I didn't even see a tree.
