I have had the wonderful opportunity of working with Jim Renner for the past ten years (since he was a kid working in my bag room in the pro shop) and applying the concepts of TGM. Tomorrow Jim will be looking for a fourth straight professional victory. Three weeks ago he won the Cape Cod Open (67-69-73-209) follow by eleven shot victory in the Vermont State Open (62-62-69-193, seventeen under), before winning the Massachusetts State Open Championship (70-69-65-204, six under). His back-to-back 62’s in Vermont included a lost ball and a bogey on a par 5, otherwise he would have broken the course record. This week Jim goes for four in a row when he defends his title at the TD Banknorth Portland Open. As Homer said, the more precision in, the more precision out.
Jim Renner won the Rhode Island Open today at Pawtucket CC win rounds of 62-66-71 for his third state open title in two months .
The forum's own Jim Burke posted rounds of 71-72-67 for a top 25 finish .
Jim Renner is a fine player who is having a truly remarkable season (see Post #1 in this thread). He is the long-time student of Drew Chapman (Drewitgolf), head professional at Highland Country Club in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Jim Burke is a PGA Professional (New England section) who also has worked with Drew. He is the men's golf coach at Harvard University http://www.gocrimson.com/ViewArticle...&ATCLID=530104 and this winter spent two days with Yoda at Orange County National in Orlando, Florida.
Great work, guys. Congratulations on your fine play!
Those are some very low scores 62-66. Congrats - was at the range a few minutes ago chatting with one of Burke's Harvard players.
That was Renner's third 62 in the past two months in State Open competition. Thats how you win three state opens in a row. The last time I shot a 62 was...let me think...let me think...oh ya...that would be never. Well, there was that one time at Pitch n' Putt .
Thanks for the kind words Michael. We are all here for the same reason; to learn about this wonderful game and as you put it share some knowledge.
Drew our club is having some success. Our top 18 yr old won the Mass. Junior Amateur this pass week by 4 strokes. Our top college female lost in the final of the prestigious North South to the Australian Amateur Champion. She plans to join the futures tour after graduation next year. Neither is a TGM-er. My son is only a 3-4 strokes behind our top 18 yr old - at age 15. He is a TGM-er!

Drew is not only a fine teacher but also good friend. Who is willing to share his knowledge and fellowship.
