One of my favorite subjects....

(My real close friends know that the REASON I learned so much golf is to help myself play my best).

In 1994, I returned to New Orleans form my first stint in Louisville.

I was going to see how well I could play.

I started to play about an AVERAGE of more than 18 holes a day.

Once I stumbled on my "Turning Shoulder Plane" magic (of the time) and my Langer-esque putting grip, I would go WEEKS without a double-bogey.

WEEKS!

I averaged well under par per round and shot 9-under twice, and 7-under a few times.

I played in a few mini-tour tournaments and choked like a dog. I then had a real good finish in the State Professional Championship and .....

stopped playing.

Not completetly, but never again like that. Never again 72 holes EVERY weekend.

Now I play 72 holes every three months.

What happened?

Teachers...real teachers...are always in the UPGRADE mode.

I have totally changed my swing 10 times more than Tom Kite ever dreamed of.

But I never played better than I did with the TURNING SHOULDER PLANE and the big ole cut and langer putting.

Ugly.

But...............magic.
