Well, it's not every day an instructor has two players -- Neal Lancaster (4) and Brian Gay (T10) -- in the Top 10 of a PGA TOUR event (the John Deere Classic) going into the weekend. And another -- John Riegger (T6 at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational) -- making his own statement on the Nationwide Tour.
Brian Gay made nine birdies in yesterday's brilliant 63. With birdies on two of the first four holes this afternoon, he's picked up where he left off and is currently T6.
Meanwhile, Neal Lancaster has just birdied the second hole and is T2.

Great stuff. They list compiler need a hint on the spelling. Hope they'll get a lot of practice as they sum up Day 4. Best of luck tomorrow.

The stats this week for B.G. are strong as train smoke. Only missing 3 greens in two days . . . One more day like that and a victory lap maybe? B.G. if you win how about a little sprinkler dance to one up Rich Beem's fonky white boy moves? Go B.G. Go Neal!!!
Yellow Freekz . . . all together . . . PUUUUUUUUUULL!!!!!!
Here are a couple of photos I took of Neal Lancaster's Top position at the Nationwide Tour's Athens Regional Foundation Classic last April. No wonder he has long been considered one of the best ball strikers on tour!
Neal puts a tremendous load on the clubshaft with his Start Down move and needs to be really solid to handle the stresses he creates. Here we were doing a little work on Extensor Action -- a 'pushing' pressure of the heel of the right hand against the left hand thumb that stretches the left arm and solidifies the right arm -- to eliminate any unwanted 'wobble' that could creep in.
After the bunker shot of B. Gay on 17 hole, I heard 3 times from TV commenter: "I get to read the book" Anyone confirm?
