Bridgestone WGC Saturday


The Bridgestone WGC has been a mixed week. Stuart Appleby has just not been able to get anything going and I think he will be looking forward to a few weeks off to rest, recover and get ready for a strong finish to the year. I have worked on some new things with KJ Choi that he was prepared to try this week and not be concerned by the results. KJ has always tried to start his back swing with his hands. My belief is that can be unreliable, as the small muscles in the hands can tense up and create tempo problems. K J has swung the club better every day and is encouraged that he is on track to bigger and better things with his new posture and big muscle take-away. Aaron Stewart (17 year old son of Payne Stewart)is one of my up and coming young students. Aaron is up in Akron for the weekend so I can work on his swing and he can get some time with Vern McMillan in the gym. Vern showed Aaron some new exercises to add to his work out program. We made very good progress with Aaron's full swing. His technique had dropped off as he has been concentrating on playing tournaments over the summer.
