Verizon Heritage / PGA TOUR / April 16-19, 2009

Would be interesting to see how many new members to the site are connected with the mentioning of Lynn and Brians collaboration.

Site traffic quadrupled yesterday and we had quite a few new registrations. Our YouTube channel traffic is 6 times heavier than normal, also. It's great that Lynn's (& Homer's) message is getting out there and that the stage is getting bigger!

goose bumps reading that!

Another great tale from Lynn regarding Brian and Mr Nelson. Once again it has me hankering after a book of these anecdotes!

Lynn, I can think of nothing better than spending a day in your company. Coaching by day and then listening at night over a fine glass of red.

Damned credit crunch!

While watching Brian Gay trounce the other tour players into utter submission while standing on their necks, I found listening to the commentators like listening to the out of town experts that that don't understand what is actually happening inside the culture. Those misinformed talking heads need a copy of Alignment Golf so they can not only educate their hands, but educate their brains as well.

Not one mention of "The Magic of the Right Forearm" and how it's on plane at address, even with the putter.

I have to say, the overall media take-away from Brian's win: these folks were impressed!

They were gushing over Brian on the PGA Tour Channel on XM Radio during/after play.

Outside of the majors, I'm not sure you could have built a bigger bandwagon than Brian did by his play, and winning by that margin, and on that difficult golf course.

This was a career changer --- the ripple effect will carry a long way.

Pssstt--- Mr. Pavin, see anything here you like....???

It was definitely weird. The commentators had no clue. What was up with Faldo? He almost seemed disappointed or something. I don't know. Anybody else pick up on that?

This statement - "Those misinformed talking heads need a copy of Alignment Golf so they can not only educate their hands, but educate their brains as well " - is the most poignantly insightful statement that I have read in a long time.

This is my first post after "lurking" on the forum for two years. I have watched Alignment Golf half a dozen times and intend to review it again this week.

This March I played HarbourTown for the first time and loved the course. As a result, I was more interested in the Verizon Heritage than any non major tourney.

It was a delight to see Brian Gay put on a clinic on how to play golf, precision and near perfection.

Congratulations to Brian Gay and Lynn Blake.

Just a little review....

For those of you who subscribe to Golf World and receive the 'Forward Spin" each week in your email, there is a very nice article by Bob Verdi about Brian's win---and also some interesting behind-the-scenes info about his wife arranging for 35 of his friends to show up for the final round. I have never met Brian or his wife, but all of the things I have read in this article and others seem to indicate they are pretty cool and well-grounded. Always nice to see a good guy win.
