[lagster]

I have no problem with that Lagster, but I do know that Payne's dad wanted someone to mentor his son and not someone to alter his golf swing. Cook did work his short game. Who did Payne see about Putting?

Cook and Ness get buried in Golf Digest. They are just two on a short list of instructors worth getting the magazine for.

I think you are right about that 6bmike. I've heard Chuck say that Payne wanted Chuck to help him, but Payne "did not want to change his swing".
Chuck kind of had to sneak things in there to help Payne. Payne was a "ball flight" guy. He liked to work the ball on nearly every shot. Very, very talented player.

Not sure about the putting. He was a good putter.
