Mike and Billy share their Thanksgiving Day stories and discuss holidays and the golf business.  Lynn Blake calls into the show to discuss the TALY MIND SET and his work with PGA Tour Player Brian Gay. The TALY MIND Set®:   - Simplifies the golf swing - Keeps you focused - Improves putting, chipping and full swing - Develops rhythm, tempo, and feel - Teaches MIND Mechanics® - Transfers your skills to the course - Used by the UCLA golf team (the #1 college golf program in the U.S. as rated by Golf Digest 2006).   The MIND Set from TALY straps onto your target arm and by focusing on the attached red ball, you begin to visualize your “Talynt Point” (i.e. the red ball). Once you accept the unique approach of using a mental reference point to free your thoughts, your golf swing will become intuitive, natural and accurate.   Swinging the red ball like the hand of a clock improves tempo, increases distance and accuracy, grooves a consistent swing, and helps you perform when it counts.

During Mike's Course Mike and Billy dicsuss the growing trend of faux social network pages of professional golfers on sites such as Twitter and Facebook.Gerry Hogan- Inventor of Nunchuk ShaftsEarly Analysis - Gerry Hogan’s interest in shaft function was triggered some forty odd years ago when he first noticed that multiple steel shafts were bent at the point where the shaft tip exited the hosel. Importantly, he observed that virtually all the shafts were bent forward, seldom, if ever, were they bent backwards.Had the bending been a result of impacting the earth or the ball then the bending would have been backwards, not forwards. Had the bending occurred as a result of impacting a solid mass, such as a tree branch, the bending would have been located at the site of the contact between shaft and branch and it would be rare that this occurred at the junction of hosel and shaft.The point that struck Mr. Hogan most forcefully at the time was: if so many shafts were permanently bending in such a manner as to be so

During Mike's Course - Billy's best friend from his younger years shares a story that happened while on his way to Mexico with a group of golfers!Kelvin Miyahira   I started teaching golf over 26 years ago when video was not available for the average consumer. But then in 1985, when the first consumer VHS camcorder became available, I bought it. It was great to be able to view a golf swing for the first time with such clarity. Though shutter speeds were not quite fast enough to get a great stop action, it was the best that any consumer could buy. And I got some great videos of old stars like Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Payne Stewart, Fred Couples and more when they would visit the Hawaiian Open. Being in Hawaii, I always thought it would be so great if I could actually see the best teachers of my era. Luckily, I got to see Bob Toski, then took lessons from Jimmy Ballard and I was hooked on learning from the best. I knew that I would really be better at my craft if I learned from others vs. trying to learn i

Frank Moore P.G.A   has over 20 years of experience in golf instruction with an interesting teaching and playing background. Learning from many of today's golfing legends, Frank brings a unique blend of experience and perspective to the lesson tee.   My first exposure to golf was in the early 70’s. I had a few lessons from the local pros. The first lesson, really sparked my interest in the golf swing. I improved quite a bit, and broke 80 that same year. Next, I took a few lessons from a pro that favored the Square to Square Method. I had a tough time with this, but I figured out a way to make it work. I went on to play college golf. I did fairly well, and made the All-Conference team one year. We had a good team, and won both the State Small College Tournament, and the District Tournament during my college years. I have now been in the golf business for over 20 years. I started as an assistant pro in Virginia. There I gave my first official golf lessons. The pro I was working for was interested in teac
