I had low hands at address for decades. For full shots they'd get up higher by Impact but I could never figure out why my little chip shots always felt sort of muffled. Something that went away immediately when I got my arms set properly at Address. There simply wasnt enough time to raise the low hands during a little chip shot and therefor no Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

The Right Forearm Flying Wedge.........you can take that dang thing away from me but it will be from my cold dead, educated hands.

You've learned your lessons well, O.B., and it shows. Our times together have been special . . .

Our first meeting six years ago in Orlando at Orange County National.

Later, at the original 'Swamp', the Marietta (Georgia) Golf Center.

Then, more Swamp time and Augusta -- The Masters! -- with Brother John, who has since become a mainstay in our sessions.

Not to mention . . .

Boatloads of fun with our group at Atlanta Country Club. Later . . .

Cuscowilla, in Eatonton, Georgia, the 'new' Swamp.

And, your invite to work three days with your group in Toronto at Glen Abbey.

Then, this winter upon my return from Hawaii and the SBS and Sony, at St. Simons Island, Georgia.

The last, again with brother John, at St. Andrews this year and The Open Championship.

Thank you for your friendship, James. And, for your golfing passion and commitment to excellence. It has been my honor and privilege to have been included in your personal journey. Meanwhile . . .

Spring comes, and more good times await.

See you soon!

AMEN!

The set up using a level left wrist and right forearm on plane was the final nail in the coffin for my 5 year struggle with the chip yips! Even my dumb hands can get an education with addition of a solid structure.
