On the Telephone With Brian Gay

You know, Brian may benefit as much from your pep talks as your teaching. Maybe when he gets that first win under his belt, he will realize how talented he is.

Here's a video clip of Brian Gay from our session at the BellSouth Classic in Atlanta. Also heard (but not seen) is his caddie, Eddie Grace. We worked on the opposite end of the range to avoid the Pro-Am activity you see in this Down-the-Line view. We'll put up a Face-On view later today. Enjoy!

Yoda,

Great stuff! I plan to watch some of the event today and hope to see Brian getting a lot of "face time".

Thanks (to you and Brian) for posting the clip.

Thanks for putting this up. It's great to see one-on-one Machine application with such a talented person. His swing is looking good now - I really like his plane and how he's using his pivot.

Thanks for the vids Lynn.

It would be great though if you guys could somehow make them so you can scroll forward and back in the video. You have to start at the beginning and watch to the end.....

....and listen carefully cause if you miss something you can't go back.

Oh nevermind....

If you use the old Windows Media Player you can scroll it.

BTW Lynn,

You talked about irons having a "hooked-face".....I don't get this.

...

Also.....you mentioned something that Nicklaus and Grout worked on....what were you talking about?

Actually, Jack Nicklaus and his teacher, Jack Grout, worked hard on preventing Jack's tendency to overaccelerate from the Top. Their term for this bad habit was "flashing hands." According to 'Jack himself', this was the number one swing fault he had to overcome on his way to becoming a champion.

I had "flashing hands" too! Landed me in the back of a squad car. I find it hard to believe that Nicklaus was actually doin' that on the golf course. You must be "pullin'" our leg on this one. I could see that with Fuzzy or Daly . . . but not Jack.
