How do you approach working with someone for the first time in regards to
swinging/hitting? Are there things you see that make you decide that a

My twin Yoda teaches both Hitting and Swinging. And he can do both equally

here's how.'

Yoda hitting?

But not because I'm a better Ball Striker. We're both about the same.

with only 25 putts. Yoda finished...well, let's just say, a distant second!
All he could mumble as we walked off the 18th was:
