Time to resurrect this post from last year. 6bmike had challenged members to identify a famous female professional based on information he supplied. After a 'swing and a miss' at his question, I responded with one of my own...

"Before long he had me straightened out. I was breaking my left wrist down through impact. I wasn't extending through the ball. I went from hitting a six-iron on the par-three third hole at Pine Needles to an eight-iron. Now I can't wait to get back out there. In fact, we've incorporated the drills ________had me doing into our golf schools. I'm sure _______ will one day be recognized as one of the great teachers of the game."
Now for the question...
Who was this professional?
If you guessed our own Annikan Skywalker, a.k.a. David Orr, you got it right!
You guys crack me up....It's all very flattering but I am just very blessed to hvae been surrounded with a lot of special and very talented people....I really cannot take any credit for what the good Lord has done in my life......
Here's a little gem for LBG from Skywalker.....
Kim Lewellen is someone who I have had the pleasure of caoching since 1992 when she was a struggling member of the woman's golf team at the University of North Carolina....Together we developed her game to a higher level...but God instilled her... her physical talent,heart,determination,dedication,desire,work ethic,etc....Now as a mother of two boys and married to a fine gentlemen who is a minister, named John. Recently, she has accepted the position of the woman's golf coach at East Carolina University....
Here is a sequence of her last visit.....BTW she knows TGM without opening the book....
Congratulations David and Kim. Good student + good teaching = great results. Even my untrained eye can see the great extensor action, stationary head, bent right wrist at impact,......
Great job! Thanks for the photos. Dr Dave
TGC finally allowing some credit where due. Fun, fun, fun!!!
I notice in the pics above that Kim keeps her left foot in a fairly 'square' position. Is this something you have done to help stablize her pivot? (hard to tell from this angle)
Mia also had this setup on the show. She really needs to work on 'full roll' Big chicken wing, just for you 12 Piece...

I taught Mia when she first started in college at Carolina ...her and Kim were friends...I don't put it on a resume.....she's bigtime and probably forgottten the times at Capital Sports Driving Range on US 1 in Raleigh and her first set off PING Clubs....
Celebs like her have enough yahoos putting her name on their resume....i don't need to be a yahoo....
But I do appreciate my friends here at LBG
6B...It's the "Dirty-Bird" the the #3 and roundhousing right forearm..or the " Count Dracula Finish when overrolled.....

I was down at the house Dean built during Mia's time there. She was at the Finley range a bunch. She's a very attractive young lady. She looked like she could hit it then. That was my sophmore year when I discovered golf. I skipped 32 classes, road the bus to the golf course, and posted a fine 1.4 GPA. Ah the memories.
