Had a great lesson today with Rick ( who I believe is now a Lynn Blake Senior Instructor). We hit balls- high, low, hooks, fades, flops, driver off the deck- geez I was worn out. The sound and flight of my golf ball is vastly improved since working with Rick.

Rick Murphy earned his Lynn Blake Certified Master Instructor designation on May 11, 2011. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/index.p...urphy-pga.html

We recognized his achievement in a press release, but it somehow did not find its way into the LBG Media Center. Coming soon!

Sorry! Knew it was an increased level of certification. Senior moment! Rick said it was a great time at Cuscowilla. Hard work and much learned.
Yoda, hope you are well. Don't work too hard!

Just want to update my progress with Rick. I cannot tell you how my ball striking has improved. The compression... Well it is beyond description. I hit several shots today that were as pure as I have ever hit. If I stay centered, maintain constant driving pressure the results are amazing. I hit shot after shot that is solid and on line. Yoda and Rick have changed my golf game, that is for sure. Can't thank them enough.

Another great morning on the range with Rick. Apparently I have worked hard enough that he felt it time to make some drastic (to me anyway!) changes to my setup by forcing me to get closer to the ball and extend my arms to the ball. My, oh my. What a change. I can finally drive my right shoulder down the plane! Thanks Rick! Can't wait to hit some balls tomorrow!

Well, Rick,you certainly nudged me along today! Thanks for your help. I think I may have seen the light, finally! I only wish I had been shown the way to swing 40 years ago!

My hat is off to you!
Taffy,
It is a pleasure to work with you!.

Learning is a "process"...A PROCESS is a set of events or occurrences that, together, lead to some particular product, state, or change. Practice and learning taken together, lead to the acquisition of the capability of moving skillfully - with "skill". You are making the necessary changes on the inside that are leading to the changes that you see on the outside. It's piece by piece and little by little...you will get there. Thanks!

Knowing the alignments ain't bad is it....then putting these mechanics into motion....

Another wonderful lesson with Rick today. As much as I learned I enjoyed the stories of time with Yoda in Orlando during the PGA show just as much. I just wish I had been taught this stuff 30 years ago before i got so old and fat! Thanks for the day Rick.
