Chris Basset
September 29, 2007

Playing at his home Club, Breckenridge Golf Club, on September 29th., Chris Basset did not one, but two remarkable things. Chris had a hole-in-one on the par 3, 8th. hole on his way to a one under, 35, on the front 9. Then, despite a double bogey on the last hole finished with a superb 75. Chris is a true student of the game who has worked extremely hard on his swing during the last three years and richly deserves these fantastic feats!

CONGRATULATIONS TO; George Yost! George, an 8 handicapper (but not for much longer!). In his words:

“Wanted to drop you a line and let you know I am playing so well this year, I can’t believe it!

I just finished the second sub per round I ever played. I shot 70 at Red Rocks CC., hitting 12 greens in reg., and had 29 putts (made Eagle on 18).

Anyway, I am enjoying golf more than ever this year.”

This is an e-mail that we received from, Warren Dyer. CONGRATULATIONS, Warren! “As you know, I have just completed another school with Jim and Bird Golf. As you and Jim are well aware, I am not much for practicing with the exception to the week I spend with Jim which is enough to hold me over through the short golf season in Alberta. I have just reached ANOTHER milestone; my first round under 80! I shot a 78 on par 72 course measuring 6400 yards. In building my "model", Jim has stuck to the plan of working on one skill at a time and this year’s focus was on starting down with the hips and releasing the club. The reason this needs to be mentioned is because when I actually get these two skills right I can hit the ball a ton (metric). The golf course I played is called the Nursery and is a very gimmicky course with a lot of doglegs left and right. With my new found talent to actually get some trajectory on my drives I was able to take a short cut over the trees leaving me a wedge into most greens and even chipping on a couple. The second revelation is my understanding of the Double Connexion, that I am a "Driver" and I play my best when I am scrambling. Without this eye opener, I would not have been as aggressive and perhaps would have shot in the mid 80’s, driving home thinking….."if only"!!!!

One thing is for sure, to Jim and yourself I owe, my short game (saves me; so many times) which is a necessity with my aggressive play. Combined with the "mental strength", Clear Key, has given me on the course, it takes a lot to get me off how I play. Recognizing "how I should play" is one of the biggest reasons I have been able to drop my average score from 110+ to low 80’s and now into the 70's. To some people this may not seem that impressive, but for a guy that loves the game but does not get to play that often and practices even less, this is great!”

Note from Carey Mumford:
As Ed Sullivan would have said, “Really good shew, there” Warren. Glad to see there is a Driver willing to consistently stick with the clear keys. Glad to see you are on a steady diet of getting better as you go. No doubt you are taking pleasure and enjoyment from the game as never before, too.

Cheers,

CONGRATULATIONS! To Chris Harwood. Chris, who is in his Junior Year of High School in Indiana, just recorded a personal best and shot an even par, 36, in a match against their arch-rival, Bishop Chatard. Chris has made huge strides with his game and we think that he is going to become a very a very fine player. Keep up the great work, Chris!
