Brian Gay In the PGA Championship
 

Brian Gay has qualified for this year's PGA Championship at Oakland Hills CC. The course is a 7,395 yard, Par 70 test that Ben Hogan immortalized at the 1951 U.S. Open with his quote: "I brought 'the monster' to its knees."

I've heard about The Monster all my golfing life, and I'm proud to say I'll be there with Brian Tuesday through Friday.

Wish us luck!

Awesome News
 

Yoda

That is such great news...I am happy for Brian and thrilled for you. I saw the preview show on CBS today ....they have made changes to the course that returns it to its "Monster" status. Brian is so deserving of the honor and to share that with him must give you goosebumps. Please pass my best wishes to Brian...will be rooting big time for him.

P.S. I hope you can take your camera with you and share the moment with us:)

HG

You guys will be in my neck of the woods.

Good luck to ya.

Keep spreading the message Yoda and good luck to Brian.

Why do you say tuesday through Friday? I hope it just you expecting to go home then. I hope Brian will be there till Sunday (night!).

It'd be great to see Brian win his first major at 'The Monster'

Midnight Ride
 

I expect Brian to be at Oakland Hills on the weekend. As for me, I have an all day Academy at Cuscowilla on Saturday, so I'm driving straight there from the airport Friday night. Should get in about midnight!

:sleepy:

Go Brian!
 

Go Get Em Brian
Good luck to both of you!!

Birdie Chance

Yoda, who did Brian play practice rounds with and what does he have in his bag at the moment?

I can wait till you get back to answer these questions!

Good Luck Guys!

Pretty cool! Good luck boys! Pulling hard for y'all!!!

That's right where you belong, Lynn --- inside the ropes at a Major with your player(s).

You've done such great work with so many guys --- really helping to turn careers & lives around. And carrying the torch for Mr. Kelley.

I'm quite proud of you and proud to have spent some quality time getting to know you. I'm always keeping tabs on your players on tour, too. Congrats to Brian!!!

Brian's -2 after 8 holes, tied for 2nd. :)

Go Brian!!!

Ditto. May I add that through this web site so many more have learned and improved. Continued success to you and all your students.

A special thanks to those folks behind the scenes that make this site so great.

I chatted with Lynn at the range on Tuesday and walked with him following Brian for several holes this afternoon during the PGA. Brain obviously played great and it was fun to spend some time talking golf with Lynn.

Go team!

Mutt And Jeff At The PGA
 

TEXTING FROM MY BLACKBERRY:

It was great, wasn't it, Jeff . . . Watching Brian split the fairway at the first and making birdie from the fringe at the second. Then, carrying the ridge at the 5th and picking up the reward 40 yards of roll. I am so proud of my player and so pleased you were there to share it with me.

Two Hours Of Yoda PGA Video Coming
 

Control yourself, Bucket. Bagger now has by FedEx two hours of 'Inside the Ropes' PGA video to slice and dice for the forums. Coming soon to a computer screen near you!

Indeed - package received and editing the first tape as we speak.

Forget 'These Guys' . . .
 

THIS guy is good. Thanks, Bagger!

:salut:

Thats brilliant! Brian T8 after round 1.

Go Brian, couple of big results this week and next and maybe the zinger will hand you a wild card for the Ryder Cup!

I have to say that it was great to see BG in action up at the top of the tree.

Anyone else notice that BG and Poulter had matching outfits on!

:laughing1

Very respectable 74 from BG in round 2.

Yoda, was he swinging (or hitting) well enough to go to the next level this week?
