Nothin' Could Be Fina Than Our Time At Medina!

Yoda never saw a tour player he didn't respect, and didn't see a swing he didn't love. Lynn found the beauty in every motion, and was able to break each one down into the language of the machine. We thought throwaway was taboo. Yoda explained how the very best players learned to "manage" throwaway for certain shots. ALWAYS POSITIVE. No right or wrong but each players preference.

One interchange I'll never forget. We watched Lynn Stand 6 feet from Tiger watching him hit balls.

Kevin: We saw you watching Tiger, what would you change in his swing Yoda?

Lynn: Are you kidding me? Tiger Woods is the greatest player in the world. I was watchin' and learnin'.

The great ones are humble enough to never stop learning, and always find the positive. What a privilege to be a student of LBG.

Thanks, Kev.

Loved our time at Medinah. You guys were the best . . . before, during, and especially -- after! -- our appointed rounds!
