Congrats guys.  I wish I was closer so I could come for lessons.  I am still searching for someone to work with live.  I see Julie Cole is 14 on the list for NC and is the closest to me of the NC instructors so I may have to sign up with her for a few sessions.

No surprise.. Congratulations to both @iacas and @david_wedzik. I have had the absolute pleasure of being under their direct instruction (primarily @iacas) and continuous guidance for a couple of years now and can't be more thankful!

The level of knowledge is plenty evident to most from this website alone but the ability to breakdown pieces and prioritize effectively is second to none.

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn The Best Teachers In Your State (2019-20) - Golf Digest

This is golf's most comprehensive nationwide ranking.

Dave and I remain the only ones west of Nemacolin Woodlands (which is in the middle of the state).

I'll console myself with the fact that we moved down on this list with my WNY PGA Teacher of the Year award. 😉

What's the criteria to get on that list?   I ask because I took a lesson from one of the top ones in Michigan and wasn't impressed.   After the lesson, there were no notes, video or drills.

You have to be nominated and voted on by people in your state.

Which is a bit awkward for Dave and I as we're the only people in western PA, and our PGA section is actually the Western New York section.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
