Photos: Stack and Tilt School, Scottsdale

[iacas]

Some photos from the Scottsdale Stack and Tilt school that took place last Thursday, February 25, 2010.

These photos won't be up forever, so have a flip through them now.

Quick edits - crop, white balance, a little brightening of some of the shadowed faces - nothing else really.

Great photos. Looks like the Grayhawk practice range. Did you see Utley there?

Wish I could've been there, looks very good.

Don't have any videos too?

Great stuff Erik. Thanks for sharing. That dude in the whit had a powerful looking move.

Great pictures Erik! I wish I was still out there on that range - what a beautiful day.

My blog post on the day's events (and, admittedly, I wrote it while practically falling asleep, so...):

Wake up 6:30. Shower. Eat some Wheaties "Fuel" (it's pretty good - and very dense). Pack up in the car and head off to Grayhawk where, despite arriving at 8:00am for a 9:00am clinic start, some students are already there. Hey, I can't blame 'em - I'd be there early too.

What, Philadelphia's weather doesn't warm your cockles? C'mon man, toughen up! We should be grateful for the one month of good weather we get each year. Never mind the fact that the best month last year was November...

Really great photography. The action shots are great. 2 strokes, that is huge to say that. Come on wealth...........

Every day for the last 2 weeks I've walked out the door saying to myself..."you're allowed to live somewhere that doesn't have such a sh*tty climate...why do you do this to yourself?".

Haha - hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel in March!

Worth the money? Anything you learned that wasn't covered in the book?

Worth the money? Anything you learned that wasn't covered in the book?

For everyone there? I'm sure it was. If you're asking me, I can't answer: it cost me a plane ticket. I took one swing - with Dale's 6-iron later in the afternoon - nutted it, and gave it right back.

Like I said, the average guy probably took two shots off his game, and continued to learn. Chuck can better answer this question.

It's always worth the money - this is actually the second time I've been to one of the schools.

The principals aren't different (that whole science thing)...it is the personal attention and prioritization of what you need to do first, then second, etc. to get better. I always leave hitting it better than I ever have with a great understanding of what I need to do and continue to do to get better. The guys are generous with their time and will have you hitting it better within 10 balls...guaranteed ;). If you have the opportunity to attend a school...do it. It will change the trajectory of your learning curve immediately. I'm a lower hcp player...was a poor ballstriker that could score a little to keep it in the 70's. The day after my first school with Andy in NJ last August, I hit 16 green, 2 fringes, 12 fairways, and shot 69 on a very difficult golf course. Individual results may vary? No, you will hit it better guaranteed.
