It was a nice week for John in Hawaii. It was really nice because he hasn't played a competetive round since early last year due to injury.

Three weeks ago I spent a couple of days in Las Vegas with John. We worked on some very basic concepts like, Address Routine (we changed what he had been using all of his career), Flying Wedges, Hinge Action, and Tracing a Straight Plane Line (using dowels of course). John is a great student: he absorbed while I was there and applied in Hawaii.

An interesting note: John called me Sunday morning before the forth round. He said "I'm hitting it on the button but I can't make a putt. I'm leaving everything short, any suggestions". I said "use your Horizontal Hinge just like you do in your swing for maximum compression". He when out and shot 66. He called back Monday morning and said "it worked".

I love The Golfing Machine.

I look forward to John having a very successful year.
