Why does Brian straighten his legs through impact? I do find this useful in my own swing, but, don't really understand what it is doing for him or me.

I watched all of Brian's victory on the tele - absolutely amazing. But, I am one of the unwashed that is confused. Why does Brian straighten his legs through impact? I do find this useful in my own swing, but, don't really understand what it is doing for him or me.

WOW!!!!!! That is AWESOME . . . . never thought I'd see the day when the "mainstream" golf pubs were talking about the likes of Impact Fix and an On-Plane Right Forearm!!!!! Can't believe it . . . . .

Lynnard . . . . Homer is smiling down today!!!!

I'm sooooooo proud of y'all.

Actually, Bucket, the Champ has you to thank for his success. Don't you remember the night of his 10th Anniversary party at his home in Orlando? Brian and Kimberly invited all participants in our LBG Academy at Falcon's Fire to the celebration, and you used pool cues as dowels to show him Impact Fix and the Magic of the Right Forearm.

"Wow, Bucket!" I recall him saying. "I can use this!"

There are so many things that I wish to convey in this post that I don't know how to begin. In fact I have started, deleted, and re-written so many items that I simply can't seem to put into words how I feel about this enormous achievement of a player and coach.

As a player I gained so much by following Brian's historic victory. To win a tour event is an amazing achievement, but to win by 10 shots is freaky. In most weeks you can count 20-30 players within 10 shots of the leader, but last week there were but a few. I was so happy to hear Brian talk about maintaining the process and only focusing on procedures. I truly believe he did not know what his lead was and was only focusing on and trusting those alignments he has practiced so often. His bad shots were good and his good shots were great. His pace on the greens was amazing and the roll of his putts (as evidence from the line on his ball) was spectacular. I rarely watch golf on t.v. unless Tiger is on because I rarely see anything spectacular. Brian's victory was truly "Awe Inspiring" and a great motivator to us all.

As a teacher and student of the game I can't be more proud of Lynn. Ever since I met him a few years ago he has been the single voice of logic in this very inconsistent world of golf instruction. He has never wavered in his teachings or his praise of Homer Kelly. He has consistently drilled the imperatives to the average player and tour pro alike and I have witnessed his successes many times. I think his message, like Homer's, is that the simplicity of the mechanics can be found in the details. Do the important things (the imperatives) well and the rest is up to you.

Lynn has been an important part of my development as a player, teacher, and person. As many of you already know, he is very giving of his time and knowledge and simply wants to deliver Homer's message of making this difficult game more understandable. He truly wants all players to improve at whatever level they play.

Many people in the golf world measure "greatness" by how many tour pros a teacher works with. Others measure it on the greatness of one or two particular players. I personally look at a teacher's ability to make any player better.

Congratulations to Lynn on succeeding at this very core of golf instruction and congratulations to Brian for a dream fulfilled and the validation of a very successful career. I look forward to many more victories from both student and teacher in the coming years and I am honored to know you both.
