great job!!!! awsome display...mccord and kostis can go back to bed about the "short hitter" deal...lol..."how odd on the minolta swing vision does he keep his head still and pivot quiet" blablabal all you want, he kicked some serious but.

Cap'n Crunch,

Of those . . . . wonder who has actually DOUBLED the score of the nearest competitor? B+G = 1 BAD MAN.

Here is a link to the Golf Channel's wrap up including lots of highlights and some very nice remarks about Brian's game and Lynn Blake.

OK, there is one "Vanilla" remark again but what is vanilla about a ten shot win and a million bucks? The answer ......vanilla is the leading money winner amongst ice cream flavours. True.


What a performance by Brian.

Regards

He's beginning to believe! Watch at 34 seconds in!!!!

Lynn gets a mention in the weekly PGA Tour Confidential round table discussion!

Link

Its a good weekly round up you may not know about.

Well I was hoping to get a lesson from Lynn next year but if Brian keeps on winning I won't be able to afford it.
Seriously, good job guys, it was a pleasure to watch. Thanks.
Good to see Lynn get some mention in the media too. Cool stuff.

:laughing9

Lynn, please remember us poor folk who were here hanging on to your every word when you start charging $10,000 a day for personal lessons!!!!

:salut:

Blakebuster Videos
 

Thanks for the link, GP. Enjoyed the read!

Enjoyed this quote:

The interesting thing about Brian is that in his late 30's he's getting better every year. He's always had a spectacular short-game but a couple of years ago he revamped his swing by watching the videos at lynnblakegolf.com. Now Gay is one of the straightest hitters in golf, and he still has that short game.

I think we all know there was a bit more to it than that, but what the heck . . .

Pull up a chair and pass the popcorn!

:laughing9

Lynn
Congrats to you and Brian.

Can you make any comment about why Brian doesn't hit it as far as some, technical analysis?


always lurking.

Congrats! To see any student achieve their goal is rewarding, but to do it at the highest level is extraordinary. Way to go. I'm sure Homer is smiling.

Congratulations to Brian, who clearly demonstrated the "Magic of the Right Forearm".

The real winner is TGM and Homer Kelly who made it all possible.

BG up to #53 in the World!

Congrats Brian and Lynn on an historic performance. :clap:

wow!!!!!!!
 

congratulations lynn and brian !!!!

well done
 

congratulations lynn and brian , from germany guys mark robin allan chris patrick :laughing9

Good for the world
 

Thank you Brian and Lynn!

My junior golf team just got an extra booster shot!

To see my boys go from shooting in the 90's to the 70's in just two years has been a dream come true for them and for me. They are only 11, 12 and 13 years old and one of them is hitting 320 off the tee.

Brian's win has truly validated these boys efforts.

I just want to say thank you to Lynn for his generous gifts of insight to Homer Kelley's work. I have found so much truth on this site and cannot be more grateful.

Lynn along with long time friend, teacher and mentor Paul Hart have opened my eyes to what is real in the golf swing. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

Congratulations Brian and thank you, too.

Thanks for this, Javier. I had forgotten the post and am glad you resurrected it. I'm especially pleased with Brian's exclamation point!

Brian can't run as fast as some people either, but -- whoooeeee! -- I do like the way he finishes the race!

Great Job Yada and Brian :salut:

I found the golf channel video chip which mentioned Lynn Blake and Homer Kelley....it will be uploaded to youtube tonight.

Extensor Action -- A Champion's Tale
 

Extensor Action is most dominant during the Stroke itself (Sections 4-11 / Start Up to Follow-Through). It is present only minimally at Adjusted Address. Otherwise, the Left Arm and Clubshaft would be pulled into its Straight Line Impact alignment, and for several reasons, this normally is not the most advantageous Address alignment.

During the Backstroke, the Right Side merely winds up (as if to throw a ball) and is constrained only by the 'leash' of the Left Arm. There should be no undue effort to produce any 'strain' of Right Triceps Action. Instead, the right arm merely tugs the left into the windup.

Case in point:

In July 2007, Brian was with me three days in Atlanta. He was my house-guest, and we spent 'British Open Sunday' at my club. We worked in the short game area in the morning, watched the final holes of The Open Championship at lunch, then ventured onto the practice ground in the afternoon.

As Brian began his warmup, I spotted Larry Nelson at the far end of the tee, preparing for his upcoming 'last hurrah' in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills. At an appropriate moment, I approached him and asked if he had time to meet my guest and share his insights. He didn't know Brian, but the words were barely out of my mouth before he began walking toward the blue-and-white Mizuno Staff bag twenty yards down range.

The next hour or so was special: One of golf's great champions offering the fruit of his own experience to another in the making. He talked to us about those things he felt were important in his own swing and how he was able to 'get'er done' under the gun. The range was full that Sunday, but I gotta tell ya . . .

There wasn't a whole lot of ball hittin' going on around us!

:laughing9

Anyway . . .

Brian had been told (by others, not by me) that his left arm should be more extended at address, and we had worked on it a bit the day before at Sugarloaf, just to see if there was any advantage to be had. On this new day, I took advantage of the opportunity and asked Larry to talk with us about the address position of the arms, especially his view regarding a slightly bent left arm. His take?

He had learned that lesson long ago and was decidedly in favor of the slightly bent left arm at address. Only during Start Up did the left arm assume its more extended position.

There were a lot more balls hit that afternoon, by both Larry and Brian. One would hit, and the other would watch. They traded clubs and places as deftly as jazz musicians in a 'sit in' jam session. And the immediate question was soon lost in a host of 'tracers' sent streaking to the back of the range.

It was a glorious afternoon.

It was also the last time Brian worried about his bent left arm at address.

Thanks, Larry!

:salut:

Would be interesting to see how many new members to the site are connected with the mentioning of Lynn and Brians collaboration.:)

Now that right there was FUNNY!!!!

Thrusted from adjusted ?
 

Thanks Yoda

What a great post! And what a treat that would have been for all of the members on the range that day.

OB

Thanks Yoda. You the man. See you next year.

Site traffic quadrupled yesterday and we had quite a few new registrations. Our YouTube channel traffic is 6 times heavier than normal, also. It's great that Lynn's (& Homer's) message is getting out there and that the stage is getting bigger!

goose bumps reading that!

Another great tale from Lynn regarding Brian and Mr Nelson. Once again it has me hankering after a book of these anecdotes!

Lynn, I can think of nothing better than spending a day in your company. Coaching by day and then listening at night over a fine glass of red.

Damned credit crunch!:-({|= :angry1:

While watching Brian Gay trounce the other tour players into utter submission while standing on their necks, I found listening to the commentators like listening to the out of town experts that that don't understand what is actually happening inside the culture. Those misinformed talking heads need a copy of Alignment Golf so they can not only educate their hands, but educate their brains as well.

Not one mention of "The Magic of the Right Forearm" and how it's on plane at address, even with the putter.

I have to say, the overall media take-away from Brian's win: these folks were impressed!

They were gushing over Brian on the PGA Tour Channel on XM Radio during/after play.

Outside of the majors, I'm not sure you could have built a bigger bandwagon than Brian did by his play, and winning by that margin, and on that difficult golf course.

This was a career changer --- the ripple effect will carry a long way.

Pssstt--- Mr. Pavin, see anything here you like....???

What was up with Faldo?
 

It was definitely weird. The commentators had no clue. What was up with Faldo? He almost seemed disappointed or something. I don't know. Anybody else pick up on that?

This statement - "Those misinformed talking heads need a copy of Alignment Golf so they can not only educate their hands, but educate their brains as well " - is the most poignantly insightful statement that I have read in a long time.

Jeff.

This is my first post after "lurking" on the forum for two years. I have watched Alignment Golf half a dozen times and intend to review it again this week.

This March I played HarbourTown for the first time and loved the course. As a result, I was more interested in the Verizon Heritage than any non major tourney.

It was a delight to see Brian Gay put on a clinic on how to play golf, precision and near perfection.

Congratulations to Brian Gay and Lynn Blake.

Brian, Lynn, Homer, TGM
 

Just a little review....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtlFau4qtgc

For those of you who subscribe to Golf World and receive the 'Forward Spin" each week in your email, there is a very nice article by Bob Verdi about Brian's win---and also some interesting behind-the-scenes info about his wife arranging for 35 of his friends to show up for the final round. I have never met Brian or his wife, but all of the things I have read in this article and others seem to indicate they are pretty cool and well-grounded. Always nice to see a good guy win.
