Well i went to the Exelon Invitational hosted by Jim Furyk today. Its held at The Ace Club. An amazing course, really gorgeous. The other 3 Jim had at the tourney were Kenny Perry, Paul Casey, and Anthony Kim. Really good 4some. I didnt follow the guys shot for shot. Kind of just went around and posted up on some different holes with good vantage points. On their 15th hole i believe it was a long par 3. AK got an ace. That was pretty cool cause I was standing right behind him on the tee. Then he proceeded to buy the gallery a beer. Which i then enjoyed even more. haha. all in all, a great Invitational hosted by Furyk.

Sounds like a fun event. I didn't now he hosted anything of the sort. Is it just an exhibition match? How does it work?

just been reading about it and apparently furyk holed a 40 footer for birdie with a five iron as him, kim and casey all used only one club for the last three holes, furyk a five iron, kim a 3-wood and casey a four iron!

One of the coolest things I've heard of.....knew I liked AK for a reason...very cool.

it was an expensive round of beers none the less. Also pretty much made me like AK even more as a golfer. That guy has class. But yet he's really down to earth.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
