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.

My Brush with Greatness
I had the great pleasure of visiting the Barclays Academy on Saturday. Wow was it an impressive set up! I first got to meet Mr. Jeff Hull who I felt I already knew from watching his iconic videos on LBG, very cool, very patient guy, who analyzed my swing on video. I was coming OTT (yikes!) so Jeff had me set up at address with my RFA more on plane and I took a practice swing with a Smart Stick tracing the plane line with the laser. Very cool, I had practiced with dowels before per Yoda's instruction on the site but this was something else, Jeff then showed me the "after" video with my new alignments comparing it to the "before" and what a difference! Thank you Jeff! I am studying myself on video for the first time and have my work cut out for me for the range this weekend. Well after my session with Jeff I looked around for Yoda and saw him just outside walking pretty fast (towards me?!!) Now we have never met before so I thought wow this is incredible somehow Yoda recognizes me and is so happy to see me even though I just proved to Jeff Hull I'm swinging OTT! So I got nervous because I am in awe of Mr. Blake and he has an amazing presence, piercing eyes and magical aura. The unmistakable Lynn Blake finally in person! So as I stepped in front of him, "Hello Mr. Blake!!" he slid around me but looked me straight in the eyes kindly and without skipping a beat he said "Yes Hello there give me a few minutes I'll be back I need to talk to this guy..." and he darted off to the lawn to meet with some dude who looked like a CEO. Well that dude turned out to be none other than Mr. Robert Edward "Bob" Diamond, Jr., President & CEO of Barclays PLC!! Heavy! So yeah I took a number...Ok I'm not completely serious but Seriously, Mr. Blake is a true gentleman. It was a real honor. Sorry if this sounds like a fan letter but I am a huge fan of LBG.
Thank You Lynn, Thank You Jeff! I really had a great time and learned alot!
All the best for your next Barclays Academy. Liberty National? I'm in your corner in NYC.
