I started about two years ago but when I heard he was coming to Iowa I signed up for his three days of training. It was the time of my life and I think I made an impression on the Monk as I was the only player able to run a tough pattern he challenged us with.

 Bill Watson Absolutely. Adding muscle memory and stroke knowledge is giving me confidence. One thing also that helped me tremendously is staying down to watch the results of the shot. How many people jump up in disgust after a miss but will have NO idea how to prevent the miss in the future because they don't even know how they missed it. These drills that we are doing hundreds of times over teach us the right stroke but also teach us how to play our idiosyncrasies.
