Many you have noticed I have lost some weight in the past year (thanks for noticing).  Many more of you have asked how did I do it?  Well it is not a secret my wife and I have followed a weight loss program reccomended by our weight loss coach and friend Larry Jacobs.  He is well known for working with Champions Tour player Allen Doyle, and is currently working with Roger Maltbie and Fred Funk.  Please click here for information on Larry, and his weight loss programs.  All I can tell you is it worked for my wife and I and the good news is you can eat as much as you want!

So we were finally open today.  I met David who was practicing for a trip to Myrtle Beach.  He was closing the face on his backswing and hitting shots to the right.  I worked with him on getting the toe of the club up on the backswing, and swinging around his body on the finish.  He show me his "old" finish which was very high and away from his body.  I told him that finish worked with his closed face backswing, because he had to get the face open coming to the ball to hit it straight.  With the face toe up or slightly open on his backswing he could release the club around his body, much like he showed me with his baseball swing.  A much more balanced and powerful motion.  It is very important that the finish compliments the backswing.

It has been a long cold winter.  I am saying that and I have been away quite a bit!  We are going to open  Waters Landing Golf Park after being closed for almost a month.  I, like everyone else am ready for spring and some warm weather.  I have been sitting in classes and reading, I am ready to get back on my lesson tee and help you guys get better! 

While at the PGA Learning Center one of my students Mark, recaps some insights while working with the Trackman Launch Monitor, one of the interestding pieces of technology we worked with during the school.
