Thanks for all the support, guys (you, too, Stephanie!). It really means a lot to me.
And nobody is more fan-friendly than Greg, so he would get a big kick out of your congrats as well. But don't expect to hear from him, because as far as I know, he has never been on the site.
He did text me his appreciation from Puerto Rico, and that will have to do!
Lynn,
Congrats to you and Ted et. al at LBG for your great work with Gregg Kraft (and Scotty). I'm with Dcg though...I need to get back to the Swamp SOON or there will be NO times available on the lesson tee!

Just received my copy of Golfweek and the author of the article about this tournament said Greg Kraft was making swing changes with Dr. Jim Suttie. Huh?

If memory serves me, Greg had been working with Suttie prior to meeting Lynn. I seem to remember a post here that he was referred to Lynn by another player at one of the tournaments, and that is how their working relationship began. That doesn't mean he stopped working with Jim Suttie. It is not all that unusual for tour players to employ more than one pair of eyes concurrently. I know I shop at both Lowes and Home Depot.
Kinda' like Phil working with Rick Smith and Butch and now Els working with Leadbetter and Butch. That's what I was thinking when I read the article---perhaps the author didn't know about his work with Yodus Maximus.
And you feel comfortable stating this for the LBG community to see? Bless your soul!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

As detailed in prior posts, my work with Greg was in the spring and summer of last year, both on tour and at his home club in Tampa. Before that, he had spent considerable time working with Butch Harmon (#1, Golf Digest America's 50 Greatest Teachers) and Robert Baker (Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructors / unranked list). And before that, with Jim Suttie (#18, Golf Digest America's 50 Greatest Teachers). Given Greg's 22 years as a professional and 379 starts on the PGA TOUR, this list may be incomplete.
From the article's statement -- there were no details -- it appears that Greg and Jim got together again sometime "late last season". Fine by me. Greg and I had -- and still have as far as I know -- a professional relationship, not a marriage.
In educational endeavors, the teacher informs and the student applies. Each of us is the product of the many teachers we have had thoughout our lifetime. This is true whether those teachers are formal (academic) or informal (interpersonal), direct (by their words) or indirect (by their example). And always, some teachers will have a bigger influence and impact (not always positive) on one's life than others.
In this specific instance, Greg gets 100 percent of the credit for the winning application in Puerto Rico.
