Trust me...I watched Brian on the driving range and on the course at the TPC at Avenel...he can spank a golf ball long and straight....end of story. Brian is making excellent progress...it's been great watching him incrementally move up the leader board each week this year.

I've seen Brian hit it. He hits it long enough to do well on the tour. He is considerably longer than Corey Pavin, and Mr. Pavin won a tournament this year.
I would say that kind of an average length on the P.G.A.
Tour these days is a player that hits it in the 270 to 280 range. Some of these guys can probably zip it out there a little longer when they want to.
I think it would be fun to have these guys play a RETRO TOURNAMENT. Have them all play equipment from around 1970, including the ball. 250... was a pretty good drive back then, and 260 to 270 was LONG.
if you don't mind me asking, in image 7 of the work Brian did with you, he has a dowel laid on the ground parallel to the ball target line but what looks closer to the feet target line (ie train tracks). What is the purpose of this drill?
The reason I ask is that I have a tendency to pull left after impact and the dowel on the ground looks like it could help avoid this.

I have just spent an hour or so reading this thread.
It really makes for good reading but I have to ask why the updates stopped. We are all well aware that BG and LB are still working hard together, so why did these updates stop 2 years ago.
Maybe its because I have only been here a while and the thread continued elsewhere but jeez it would have been great to have gotten the story right up to when BG won for the first time!

We expanded the action, GP. Check out the forum On Tour With LBG.
