The Barclays Golf Academy Presented By Lynn Blake Golf / 2008

[EdZ]

It was truly a pleasure to help out again this year in such a unique setting and I look forward to next year at Liberty National. Great to see all of you guys again, and thanks for all the outstanding pictures and video 6B. Great stuff!

No description of the Barclays would be complete, of course, without taking about the "best shot" of the event.

No, it wasn't hit by VJ to 17, or on the 18th green by him, or Sergio....

It was hit by Lynn Blake - Yoda, the one, and only.


All week we had been hitting shots to the heavily contoured practice green, both in the clinics we gave to nearly 400 people, and after we had finished for the day, and all week it was clear - there was no getting to that back right pin about 40 yards out. Nope. Nothing anyone could do could get it within 6 feet.

That pin was on the top of an upside down bowl. You could hardly even place a ball near it and have it stay.

So during our last clinic, as Lynn once again demonstrated......

"This is how you hit a shot... you keep your left wrist flat, and your right wrist bent.... like this..... "

On the fly. Directly in the cup.

Perfect.

The one and only, Yoda.
