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!

Very nice. With your influence, there is no telling how far your son can go.

Great Stuff. Congrats to both Jim Renner and Drew Chapman. Riverside is a course one can go low on.
I had a fantastic experience working there. I'm sure Jim enjoyed the hospitality and good fellowship, from the gang there. that I still miss.
