The Golf Channel



Stuart Appleby and I shot seven segments for Academy Live on the Golf Channel yesterday. The show was aired last night and will be replayed a few more times this week. In this photo we are demonstrating a 3 target pitching drill that Stuart does every week for his pitching distance control. This week we are in Tampa Florida for the Chrysler Championship. The Copperhead course at Innisbrook is one of our favorite tracks on Tour. It is a wonderful traditional design and a great test of golf with quick firm greens and ver good bunkering. Today we had a practice round with Craig Parry and K J Choi. This is Craig's last event in the USA as a full member. He is heading to Japan next year to play a full season as he is still exempt because of his Japan Open win a few years ago. Stuart and K J both hit the ball and putted very well today and we are looking forward to a great week. Nick Flanagan drove down from South Carolina afer the Nationwide event. He got to Stuart's place at Isleworth at 10.30pm after a 6 hour drive and slept on the couch. We worked on his putting stroke for a couple of hours before he drove down to Miami for the second last event of the year. Nick needs a couple of top 5 finishes or better to secure his PGA Tour card next year. He is hitting the ball well and need to just flat out go and make a bunch of birdies in these two events.

Recently viewed on Golf tv uk your programme with the speed stik being used by Stuart Appleby and the baseball player. Fascinating comparison of styles, would like to view it again. So impressed have ordered a speed stik to try it for myself.
