Brian Gay just finished his second round of the Heritage Classic with a 4-under-par 67. The round included five birdies and a lone bogey (on the tough par four 4th, ranked second-toughest on the course) and birdies on the closing hole of each nine. As I write, his two day total of 66-67=133 puts him in a tie for second.
I remember talking with him in Atlanta and mentioning that he should do well at Hilton Head.
"Harbour Town's a tough course," said I, "but not too long, and the winning score is usually one of the higher numbers on TOUR."
"Yeah, that's what my friends have always told me. But I play there every year, and I've only made the cut once."
"That was the old Brian. This is the new Brian. I think you might surprise a few people this time 'round. Maybe even yourself."
And now on this Friday afternoon he sits high atop the Leader Board at nine-under. Which, I'm sure, really is a surprise to some people. But not to me. No sir, ol' Yoda isn't surprised at all...
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.

In a dog-eat-dog business, it never hurts to be told...
Working With Brian Gay -- The Video / Down-the-Line
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!
