What a great weekend John Riegger had at the Sony Open last week! He shot 68 and 66, muscled his way up 30 spots and finished 21st at 277, 3-under par. Not a bad way to start the year: A week in Hawaii and a check for $40,363!

You may recall that just three weeks ago, John posted here (under his own name) and told us that in preparation for the tournament, he had received a great lesson from his teacher, Rob Noel (aka Hunter on this site). Lots of TGM and dowel stuff filled the Vegas air during that lesson, and when applied by a talent such as John, the rewards came quick.

Rob -- John, too, if you'd like! -- can you fill us in on some of the details? It's as close as most of us will ever get to being 'inside the ropes.'

Thanks!

BTW, John 'private messaged' me recently that he's told several of his PGA TOUR buddies about LBG and now they were 'hooked' on the site, too. That's always great to hear, but I believe I would have used another word!
