I stopped by for a visit on Thursday afternoon. It was great to see Lynn, Ted and the "gang". Ted loves his ice cream. 
EDZ is a great guy and does his famous "Drills" on cue!!!. 6bMike was there but I didn't spot him until later because he was wearing his Barclay shirt over his "Boston Sucks" tee shirt.
Where was Drewitgolf, I am still waiting for my lesson. 
Lynn held court on the green turf, demonstrating the circle and how the hands travel, leading the club shaft and club head. Nice job Lynn!!.
Jeff was showing EDZ on how to get that right shoulder deeper in the backswing to make it easier to attack the ball on the downswing.
Fanning the right forearm is key at start up and probably the hardest thing to do for the average golfer. Watch Brian Gay on how he does it.
On the range I saw Ernie Els, efforless power. I could have watched him for hours. Most of the guys hit there Drivers deep into the trees at the end of the range. The ball kept on going. Amazing. 
Special thanks to Yoda for making my visit a special one.

Hey, everybody . . . Completely by accident, I've just discovered that you can click on Mike's images and get his captions. Great stuff, 6bMike. Thanks!
P.S. You 21st century folk need to tell these things to 'the rest of us'!

its all over....
My laptop couldn't keep up with the load of work- pictures and video I had to dump into it to clear off 'SD' cards for the next day (Love my little G9 canon). I don't think the sideshow works as well as I had hoped. I'm going to post thumbnails with a caption and re-dit the videos.
Everyone worked late into the day teaching about a hundred plus lessons a day indoors and about another hundred attending the outdoor sessions designed for eighteen. Everyone raved about their lesson as they left with a lot of buzz going around the Barclay pavilion. Everyone sent their friends and family to take a lesson the next day. Barclays' CEO was our biggest fan.
And what worked for everyone?- Lynn and crew taught- Flat left wrist/Bent, Level right wrist, straight plane line, lag pressure and a good swivel. Also Impact position of hands that lives way over there; opposite the left thigh with shaft lean. Simply stuff that makes other golf instructors tremble.

Hey Mike
Thanks for your hard work with all the photos and vid clips. Listening to Ted teach reminded me of Destin not too many moons ago. Take care.
