19. Take out 4 iron and 52 degree wedge Add 50 degree and 54 degree wedges Smaller yardage gaps in bottom part of the set Equipment

20. Fitness - Strengths • Balance • Coordination • Athleticism • Endurance • Commitment

21. Fitness - Priorities • Hip Flexibility • Lat Flexibility • Agility Drills • Upper body stability • Aerobic conditioning • Core Stability • Torso Mobility (medicine ball drills)

22. Block Practice - 1/3 • Grip • Posture - centered • Set-turn-swing drill • Right foot back drill

23. Random Practice 1/3 • Vary club / target / shape / trajectory • Front – middle – back of green

25. Tour Player Types • Power Players • Control Players • Hybrid Players

26. 3 Types of Students • Searcher – Tries a lot of different teachers, likes new things, ideas, theories • Faxon - Howell III • Life Long Teacher – Master what they are taught • Nicklaus - Palmer • Typical – Commit for a period of time • Woods - Els

27. Keys to success • Maintain strengths – improve weaknesses, “play the game that got them on tour” • Lead them, but let it be their idea • No mystery shots • Predictable Good Shot • Predicable Miss • One Voice/100% commitment – Moe Norman story • Reduce the “Tour Wow” factor
