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.   

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By iacas ·

      You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.

      By Pretzel ·

      Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
