I don't want to nit-pick and this has nothing to do with Golf, but who "selects clothing" for Brian Gay to wear while Golfing? Is his "street wardrobe" similar?
Another great year at The Barclays! They really know how to put on a world class event and this year was even better than before.
A long marathon of lessons, but so rewarding to get the right information out there and see students really compress the ball, many for the first time.
Ted/Jeff - we missed you this year, but it sure was great to have Curt and Rick there. Top quality instructors, and a ton of fun to spend time with! Best of luck to both of you at the section championship!

This was our fifth year at The Barclays, and I'm proud to say that my team once again knocked it out of the park. We operated from 8 AM to 6 PM each day of the tournament, and as usual, were totally jammed. As in years past, we filled every available slot and ultimately delivered more than 400 lessons. Whew!
Each Barclays guest who registers at our Golf Academy receives a private lesson and a CD with a golf stroke analysis and summary. Here's an example of the work we do. I had filled in for EdZ during his lunch break, and he returned just in time to assist with the screen graphics. My student Jim and I are now looking at the same screen as you.

Enjoy!
I don't think I ever really grasped the importance of the flat left wrist, though I had my right arm on plane (mostly). Kevin and Jerry showed it to me and are great instructors, but we covered a heck of a lot of stuff (my muscles ached for days) and I have to hit shots with something before I grasp the concept! New thread to search; FLW,

I talked of many alignments in this analysis, innercity, but only once did I mention the Flat Left Wrist (Horizontal alignment), and then only as an inferior Address alignment. Your post reveals you are now focused on this Wrist Condition, and that focus colors everything you see and read. This tendency to hyper-focus on what we are currently working on is human, but it should be recognized and controlled. This is especially important for instructors whose responsibility it is to teach others.
Perhaps you noted Jim's visually Flat Left Wrist at the Top of his Backstroke in the introductory still-frame. On the other hand, are you sure you do not mean the Level Left Wrist (Perpendicular alignment), which was a major point of emphasis?
Either way, you're excited and learning, and that makes me happy.
Remember though, whether you were talking about a Flat Left Wrist or a Level Left Wrist or whatever . . . Over time, each thing we work on -- no matter its self-endowed importance at the moment -- recedes into the framework of our Total Motion and becomes subconscious. Only then will it be truly integrated and display its full value.
Meanwhile, listen for the many 'nuggets' contained in this lesson. Examine them one by one and ask, "Does this apply to me?" If so, then add each noted item to your golf "To Do" list and set to work as time permits.
