Way cool Jerry!
I plan to start a first Tee program here in my school. I will copy these notes as a potential curriculum!

I should have taken a couple photos of the looks on their faces when they saw the ball fly so easily after all that compression. It was like they just found something good to eat. Tomorrow we are going to the huge practice green and set those flying wedges, level left wrists and bent right wrists and start chipping.
I had one of Kevin's newest students in the practice bunker maintaining his flying wedges and landing EVERY ball in position for easy two putts and many tap-ins. I might have to have him teach the rest when they come in next week after spring break.
If we keep this up we could be called the Machinists' Union.
Thanks Yoda and Kev. 20 years of coaching high school golf and it has never been so much fun.
