Jeff,
Not to worry.
Just got a handwritten 'thank you' from Jim -- a refreshing and appreciated gesture in today's cyberworld . . . here's an exerpt:
"I got paired w / Jeff Hull & Danny Elkins in the Sr-Jr. That was a good experience. I hope that some day I am able to have as much precision as Jeff."
You want Jim's Power.
He wants your Precision.
And LBG is doing its dead level best to provide both to all who would 'absorb and apply'.
Golf . . .
Gotta luv it!

Jim will be able to match my precision very soon, if he doesn't already have it. I will NEVER have his power, God just didn't make us gnomes with that much horsepower.
Thankfully putting is the great equalizer. Oh yeah, I stink there as well. Back to the imperatives. As Hogan said, "I just need to hit it closer."

Actually, it was Valerie who said, "You need to hit it closer."

Yeah, Jeff, you 'stunk' yourself all the way to one of the best years in Georgia PGA history!

Jeff,
Most of us hacks would like to have just a fraction of the talent you have in your pinky finger...make that, your right index finger.
And Drew has been hanging out with the Blue-bloods long enough to know, its "Haaved".

Down, Out, and Forward
Lynn, Drew and Jeff –
Thank you so much for the kind words.
This process started last March 07. I have been creeping and learning from all the great posters on this site: Daryl, 12 Piece, Mike O, and Yodasluke, to name a few. At first it was like learning a new language, and I was often confused, but the more posts I read the more it made sense. Learning the yellow book is quite a progression. You think you understand and you have it, only to be totally immersed in fog the next moment. But every time I work through the fog, I feel that I am closer to understanding.
Drew, thank you; you are a great teacher and mentor. I actually found Drew on this site. I was impressed with what he wrote so I called him. His instruction is very much like his posts: clear, concise and entertaining. If you are ever in this area and want to learn, I highly recommend calling him.
Jeff, your precision is what I will strive for. For those of you that are impressed with Jeff from his videos in the gallery as I was, the in person action will floor you. Can you say:”In control of your ball!”
Lynn, I had a great time and learned a lot. You have supplied the information. It is now up to me to implement and apply what you have taught me……..of course with the help of Drew!

Thanks, Jim.
Regarding Drew and me, the 'riders' may be 1,100 miles apart, but . . .
We're delivering the same 'mail'.

Jeff,
I met a old friend of yours, a certain salesman for ahead who shall remain nameless, but he had some good dirt on you!!
I asked him how you could have so much precision in your golf swing alignments and struggle (your words, not mine) with your putting stroke. He said you have uneducated hands when putting!!! His words not mine!!!
Get those putting hands educated and get out on tour, leave the PGA stuff to the less talented players, glad I'm not in the Georgia Section!!!

"Jungle Jims"
Congratulations to Jim Burke on making it through the local qualifying for the U.S. Open. Jim shot a 73 in bitter cold, windy conditions at the TPC of Boston (home of the PGA Tour's Deutsche Bank Championship). Also, qualifying was Jim Renner with a 71, another golfer I am proud to work with.
