Thats interesting OB, especially the line about Ogilvy.

Recently I went to see a local pro who is with the David Leadbetter academy in Belfast.

We worked on my posture at address which had got sloppy with me "sitting down" on my heels and my golf has definitely improved.

The pro worked under Michael Bannon for 5 years and as such he knows Rory McIlroy very well. He told me that Rory plays all his chips and pitches utilising the bounce rather than hands forward hitting down and taught me the shot. My own chipping and pitching has improved immeasurably as a result. It takes practice because the risk of course is the skulled shot over the green but the ball comes off soft and barely rolls when played correctly.

As you said, the kid has some (sneaky) educated hands!
