What do Y.E. Yang and Tyler Ferrell have in common?

They both got putting instruction from the putt doctor, Craig Farnsworth.

Tyler here with a true blog style update. You may have noticed that I have been MIA for the last couple weeks. Let me bring you up to speed on the things I have been attending and working on.

Last Monday I attended a clinic about putting put on by Dr. Craig Farnsworth. It was one of the most impressive and well organized pieces of golf instruction that I have had the pleasure to be apart of. The clinic was about 5 hours and covered everything from set up to stroke mechanics to green reading.

In fact, you could very easily spend an entire putting lesson on: Alignment, Stroke Mechanics, Set Up, Distance Control, and Green Reading. Many players think that one lesson is all it takes to fix their putting but will take entire packages of lessons on the full swing. Doesn’t that seem backwards to you? If you don’t think putting deserves a lot of attention, then you didn’t pay attention this weekend while watching the PGA Championship. Brendon Post, my director of instruction just played in a tournament after attending some of the clinic and shot his career tournament low 63. If you’re curious about what I learned, you can check out Dr. Farnsworth’s new book. It’s a good summary of what he went over in his 5 hour clinic.

Apart from finally learning how to read a green properly, I spent the last week in San Diego taking CHEK exercise coach and learning how to better serve you golfers. Dee and I are big believers in investing in ourselves. I’m pretty much a seminar junky and haven’t made my way to rehab yet.

Anyway, I’m back and smarter than ever and about to film some more videos for the site. I’ve got a couple good requests, but if there is anything you want to hear, send me a message on facebook or contact us here.

Quick tip for you? Try to line the ball up using your dominant eye only (close the other one). You’d be surprised the difference it makes.
