VJ Sightings at TPC Sawgrass
Swing School
Swing School
Two questions about golf schools:
1. Which school? There are many, but the TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass is unparalleled. The PGA TOUR headquarters is there, and pros constantly drop in for tune-ups. Vijay Singh, for example, is a range fixture. I even saw him during a Sunday brunch break in the clubhouse, down by the lox and bagels.
Instructors are top notch and name drop like nobody's business, which spices up sessions. The facility: 3,000 square feet of learning space, TaylorMade MAT-T 3-D Motion Capture System, Trackman ball flight monitor and TaylorMade Putting System (one of two, anywhere).
Oh, you end your day playing the legendary PLAYERS Stadium Course.
2. Can I justify the cost? Tough call. But when you invest in your game, you suddenly become a keen student, especially when steeped in golf with other students. My regret: I did not do this earlier; it has revolutionized my game. I wince at the moola spent on equipment fixes that fixed nothing, not like going to school. First round back home, I shot 100 (too many swing thoughts), 5-10 strokes above my normal. Next two rounds: 86 and 85, my best.
