The rest of the story! (video)

> You may have seen the "Jerry Jumps" video that I recently posted on
> Waterslandinggolfpark.com and on facebook.  The video is about a drill
> that I use to reduce tension and improve balance at the starting
> position.  You simply take your stance, then without thinking about golf,
>  jump off the ground and when you land you are  in balance and
> tension free.  You will just react to the jump naturally. Your
> instincts will not let you land rigid and out of balance.
> I remember teaching junior groups this drill. Watching about 10 or 15
> kids lined up on the tee line and jumping and landing with their golf
> clubs was quite a sight.
> Where did I learn this "drill"? Well, back in the 80's I had a chance
> to play a round of golf with Sam Randolph.  You might say "OK, who is he?"
> Sam is probably best known for being runner up and U.S. Amateur
> Champion in consecutive years, and later joining the PGA Tour and
> winning a PGA Tour event.  As we played the first few holes I noticed
> that Sam did a little jump in the air before settling in for each
> shot. Finally about the fourth hole I finally said "Sam what are you
> doing?".  He explained that when he jumped he felt that he landed in
> perfect balance.  I can't think of a better way to start a golf swing.
> I have been using it with my students ever since, got to be well over 20 years! Thanks
> Sam! Now you know "the rest of the story"! Good Day! (I stole that part
> from Paul Harvey).
 Here is the video if you missed it.
