Great story Patrick, thanks. So those birds you saw were really mosquitos?


"Keep it come'n on , keep it......." K. C. and the sunshine band ladies and gentlemen.

In our last day in MN, I had a chance to put some of the many things I learned into practice. Gerry let me lose on his local golf course, a par 72, "Emerald Green."

My swing thoughts were a jumble. "Stay on plane, stay left, brace my back right foor, keep my nose or sternum over the ball, lift the front shoulder to come down, plant the front heel, or drive the primary lever."

I shot a 46 on an easy front nine.

"Simplify. Impact Fix, Stay on plane, Nose over the ball." I shot my first 39.

When I met back up with Gerry on the range, he was finishing teaching a junior class. I told him how I was snap hooking my drives and longer clubs. "Trace the baseline of plane with pp # 1 or 3, Delivery Hand Path, Hula-Hula."

235 yard drives or so, down the middle.

I intend to see Yoda personally, some day. What is amazing to me is how insightful three guys are who have spent time being trained by Yoda namely, Kevin Carter, Gerry and K.S.

I'm in TN now visiting my dad and we played a course "Stone Henge" which is a par 72, slope 130, in the foothills of eastern TN. I got stuck in my old habit of bending my long irons and driver to the left. I was using Impact Fix, Hula-Hula and RFT. Shot a 46 on the front side. UGH!

"Impact Fix, HH, RFT, Trace Baseline of the plane, ball off left heel." Shot a 40 missing lots of putts and was 1 under for a four hole stretch!

Guess what my swing thought will be tomorrow?

Thanks guys!
