The stats this week for B.G. are strong as train smoke. Only missing 3 greens in two days . . . One more day like that and a victory lap maybe? B.G. if you win how about a little sprinkler dance to one up Rich Beem's fonky white boy moves? Go B.G. Go Neal!!!
Yellow Freekz . . . all together . . . PUUUUUUUUUULL!!!!!!

Here are a couple of photos I took of Neal Lancaster's Top position at the Nationwide Tour's Athens Regional Foundation Classic last April. No wonder he has long been considered one of the best ball strikers on tour!

Neal puts a tremendous load on the clubshaft with his Start Down move and needs to be really solid to handle the stresses he creates. Here we were doing a little work on Extensor Action -- a 'pushing' pressure of the heel of the right hand against the left hand thumb that stretches the left arm and solidifies the right arm -- to eliminate any unwanted 'wobble' that could creep in.

After the bunker shot of B. Gay on 17 hole, I heard 3 times from TV commenter: "I get to read the book" Anyone confirm?

i was wondering if there is a certain point in the swing to really concentrate or exagerate the extensor action. I mean, i can intentionnaly have it before takeaway but at transition and at beginning of the down, should there be an emphasis on not losing it?

Just wondering if at top i should still feel the push on the thumb? How did you go about it with Neal? was it a from his setup kinda deal or just at a certain point in his swing?

After a rough start, Jay Williamson has it back to even par for -4 for the tournament after 11 holes, and Greg Kraft is flying under the radar, and has it to -9 for the tournament after 9 holes.

Great looking backswing pictures there Yoda. Good playing from all the guys this week. Any of the LBG stable coming over for next week?
