Yoda, this is an awesome thread...glad to see both Brian and Heath do well last week. Looking forward to the video of Kip as well -- I was a huge fan of his on the BB II as well as his Nationwide tour stint the following season.

I subscribe to both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine...but started getting GolfWorld (published by Golf Digest). I really like GolfWorld since it has no golf instruction (which is just about all GD and GM have) but just articles regarding the tours and its players, and golf info...and it is very relevant since it is a weekly publication.

I was reading the article about the Honda Classic all about Boo Weekley and his 2nd stint on tour. It mentioned Mark Blackburn by name saying that Boo hired an instructor. He said that him and Mark don't work on anything special and that Mark just gives him simple advice (which he likes).

I guess Mark is really making a name for himself...pretty cool to see a TGM instructor being named!

Fortunately for the members of LynnBlakeGolf.com, I did a video on Tuesday morning with Heath and his instructor, Mark Blackburn.

The subject of that video?

I bring glad tidings...

That would be those very same adjustments, as they were being made!

I'm off to Orlando tomorrow for the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill (and our fully-subscribed LBG Academy at Falcon's Fire later in the week), but I'll get Mrs. Yoda to ship the video out to Bagger on Monday. Assuming he is not otherwise engaged in his day job of multi-jillion dollar product launches with a major S & P 500 company -- I luv ya, man! :) -- he'll get it up toward the end of next week.

Is this a great place or what!?

:D

I taped this video of Heath Slocum and his instructor, Mark Blackburn, on Tuesday of tournament week. Five days later, Heath finished T2 (by one stroke) in a starting field of 144 of the best players in the world. He shot 68-69-67-71 (275, 9-under par) and earned $466,400. :eyes:

Thanks, Heath and Mark, for inviting us into your world. And thanks also to our own Bagger Lance, for bringing this video to you!

Real instruction that works for everyone.

Thanks Lynn- another classic!

Awesome clip!
 
Yoda, thanks for sharing this! It was cool to get an inside look at TGM at work on tour. Funny how a lot of the things that Heath is working on (and his concerns) are what us higher handicaps are working on as well (centered head, right forearm tracing, and the downswing waggle). Golf fundamentals and geometry are all the same no matter who swings the club I guess.

Thanks, Keith. And right you are: From Dub to TOUR player, the Alignments never vary. But...

The journey is without end.

I'll never forget our own time together down in The Swamp. Two 'half-days' memorialized in the Compression At Twilight video. Those who haven't seen the clip can check it out in the LBG Gallery.

Great stuff!

:salut:

I like it, impacts sound great. The front-view pivot and stationary head look really nice as well.

Tuesday was spent on the range with a few dozen of the best players in the world and on Copperhead, site of the Championship. Wednesday was spent on the Island course, with both Brian and his caddy, Kip Henley ripping shots from tee and fairway.

Now, if playing golf with your caddy seems a bit out of the ordinary for a PGA TOUR player, consider the following dossier of one Kip Henley, III:

-- Born in Crossville, Tennessee, and raised in Chattanooga.

-- Member, PGA of America, since 1988.

-- Tennessee State Open Champion, 1982 and 1987.

-- PGA Section Player of the Year, five times.

-- PGA Section Championship, three times.

-- Winner of "zillions" of other tournaments (including the self-professed runner-up in the Grassy Cove Invitational (Hint: there is no Grassy Cove Invitational and there is barely a 'Grassy Cove').

-- The Golf Channel Big Break II, winner.

Now, just what do you get when you're a Big Break II winner?

-- 4 Nationwide Tour Exemptions (best finish: -2, Missed Cut).

-- Car (Ford 500)

-- $10,000 cash.

-- Total 'take' with various endorsements -- "about $150,000."


And yes, he declared it all! :evil5:


Trust me: Kip is one-of-a-kind and an all-'round good guy. He and Brian are a great team. Expect to hear more about these two...

Much more.

Meanwhile, I shot a brief video at the PODS Championship...Kip and me 'just talkin' about gettin' the job done on TOUR. We will get it up soon in the LBG Gallery.
The professional caddie is now an integral part of the PGA TOUR. Having the right person on the bag can mean the difference between winning and losing, making the cut or just another short week.

The relationship between player and caddie -- always professional and often personal -- is unique in sport. The most successful 'partnerships' are built on a foundation of trust and mutual respect.

Kip Henley gets the job done, and he gets it done right.

Enjoy!

If you're looking to break into the professional caddie ranks, you can forget about the want ads. You have to make it happen.

Here's how Mathew Blach is going about it. :salut:

Well Lynn .... I've been pulling for "Team Blake", "Team Noel", and "Team Blackburn" week to week. Looks like I need to add "Team Blach" (consisting of Matt Blach and a player-to-be-named) to the mix now. :)

You have to love a guy that has a dream and is willing to do something about it.

Thanks for the insight,

I love that right forearm Heath, looks great!
