I've been around the game for too long, have worked with 6 on this list combined in person/online, lol. A lot from NJ. Following around 5 of these on Instagram.

Some good choices, some overdue choices, some… interesting choices… Let's see how many I know reasonably well:

  • Scott Chisholm is only 35?
  • Brian Creghan
  • Jennifer Hudson I just met in Pinehurst at the PGA Teachers of the Year conference. She spent about 45 minutes talking with @NatalieB, which meant a lot.
  • Jorge Parada
  • Bill Schmedes III
  • Jason Sedan
  • Steve Sieracki (heh)
  • David Taraschi
  • Robbie Fritz
  • Matt Killen
  • John Scott Rattan (just bought Analyzr 3.0 and has a copy of LSW)
  • Megan Padua
  • Dan Carraher
  • Matt DeJohn
  • Sara Dickson
  • Alana Swain
  • TJ Yeaton
  • Mike Bury
  • Nick Dunn (used to coach at CMU)
  • Corey Lundberg
  • Aaron Olson
  • Mario Bevilacqua
  • Preston Combs
  • Tyler Ferrell
  • Drew Steckel

The number on the list who charge less than I do for lessons? 0. 🙂

OK so-Does this video make you watn to go to take a lesson from this young lady?

Is it a good video?-Is this all we should expect from a Best Young Teacher in America?

Cuz from what I see she is a slicer-Huh?- and she thinks that by standing two feet right or left you are going to completely eliminate half of the hole.

Also-Why would you want to eliminate half of the hole?-You do not.

Political correctness?-You decide. These lists are pointless IMO. Congrats to the people on them, but I think even the pros on them realize they are bunk.

Another thing I noticed is the instructors I knew that were based in the NE - they all eventually moved to warmer climates. CA, FL, NV. Makes a lot of sense career-wise. Two I was working with back to back moved west after I started working with then.

Yes, I have. Before I turned 40, of course. It's linked in my signature:

We appreciate it!

...if you charged $200 an hour, I’d be SOL for the next 10 years or so

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
