| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 3.20.10 - The Secret of Ben Hogan's Swing - Tom Bertrand - Hour 1 | During Mike's course - Mike & Billy - discuss some of the oddest golf records around.The first hour interview is Tom Bertrand, Author of the The Secrets of Hogans Golf Swing.
Review - The Secrets of Hogan's Swing- Tom Bertrand
"Like finding the Rosetta Stone of golf... Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler's The Secret of Hogan's Swing gives us a pipeline to the Master's wisdom that we thought had been lost forever. Secret is an instruction book like no other. It's the Hogan book Hogan himself never wrote, packed with the insights the great champion passed on to John Schlee (in a fascinating mentor-disciple relationship) and that Schlee in turn bequeathed to Tom Bertrand. We'll probably never have anything like this again. Hogan's gone, Schlee's gone, but thank goodness we've got Tom Bertrand to preserve the nuggets of pure golfing gold that the Master dug up "out of the dirt" of ten thousand practice tees and a thousand tournaments. The Secret of Hogan's Swing demonstrates that the vein of wisdom left by the peerless champion still yields up precious ore, not just in the technical aspects of the golf swing (Hogan's concepts are not only absolutely modern but even quite radical) but in his insights into the psychological and mental aspects of the game. His concept of the 'moving wall' is worth the price of the book alone. A must-read for every serious student of the game."—Steven Pressfield, author of The Legend of Bagger Vance"The Secret to Hogan’s Swing goes beyond pure instruction, offering insightful shot-making and strategy tips passed on to former tour pro John Schlee from Ben Hogan and interpreted wonderfully by Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler."—John Andrisani, author of Tiger’s New Swing and Heaven Can Wait Visit www.tourstrikershop.com and use the promo code "GTR" for FREE shipping on the Tour Striker!

In business, leadership, sports and life, it takes more than knowledge and good technique to achieve great performances with consistency.

If you are a leader who wants to lead more effectively, a worker who wants to achieve more, an athlete who wants to win more, or you want better performance in all areas of your life, you need this book.
Filled with practical and innovative high-performance tools like the Emotional Spiral, the Emotional Inventory and the Emotional Caddie, You are a Contender!

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 2.27.10 - Gary McCord, Professional Golfer & Commentator - The Tour Striker - Hour 2 | Gary Dennis McCord (born May 23, 1948) is an American professional golfer, commentator, author, and actor.
McCord was born in San Gabriel, California and raised in southern California. He was a two-time Division II All-American at UC Riverside. He won the NCAA Division II individual championship in 1970 and turned professional in 1971.
McCord's best two finishes on the PGA Tour were at the Greater Milwaukee Open, placing second in both 1975 and 1977. During his years on the PGA Tour, he had nearly two dozen top-10 finishes.
At age 37 in 1986, McCord joined CBS Sports as a golf analyst, a capacity in which he still serves. He is noted for his outspokenness, a trait that has seen him barred from the CBS commentary team for The Masters. During the network's coverage of the 1995 Masters, he remarked that the 17th green was so fast that it seemed to be "bikini-waxed", and that "body bags" were located behind that green for players who missed their approach shots. Augusta National Golf Club, which organizes The Masters, used its influence with CBS to have him removed from The Masters commentary team. While McCord has continued to cover virtually all other golf events aired by CBS, he has yet to return to Augusta with the network.
Aside from his CBS commentary duties, McCord also plays on the Champions Tour. After turning 50 in May 1998, he won his first event at the Toshiba Senior Classic in March 1999, and also won that year's Ingersoll-Rand Senior Tour Championship. Back in 1991, he won the Gateway Open on the Ben Hogan Tour, the second-tier tour in the U.S., now called the Nationwide Tour.
McCord has also written two books, Just a Range Ball in a Box of Titleists and Golf for Dummies. In 1996, he appeared as himself in the Kevin Costner movie Tin Cup. He and Peter Kostis are partners in the Kostis/McCord Learning Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is also a co-announcer on the EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour series along with David Feherty.
McCord credits golf pro Brad Britton for teaching him the ins and outs of the golf swing and especially the mental game.[citation needed]
McCord lives with his wife, Diane, in Paradise Valley, Arizona and Edwards, Colorado.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 2.27.10 - Mike's Course - Virigina CC & Linda Hartbough - Professional Golf Artist - Hour 1 | During Mike's Course - Mike and Billy discuss Billy's trip to Virginia CC and Billy's new workout regiment while on the golf course.
Since focusing her skills as a landscape painter to recreate some of the world's most beautiful golf holes, Linda Hartough has become recognized as one of golf's leading artists. So extraordinary and realistic is her attention to detail that her oil paintings seem to come alive with a clarity that surpasses the camera. Her work has gained international fame. She is the only artist ever commissioned by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews to do the annual, official paintings and prints for the U.S. Open and British Open Championships. She has painted prestigious golf courses from the U.S. to Scotland to Hong Kong. Her paintings are so admired that they have earned a place on two ABC Television Golf Specials on famous golf holes hosted by Jack Nicklaus. Her paintings are in the collections of such famous clubs as Augusta National, Pine Valley and Laurel Valley. Hartough originals are also included in the private collections of Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones and Rees Jones.
Linda Hartough calls into the show - a confirmed artist since the age of six, Linda was raised in the picturesque country sides of Wilmington, Delaware and Louisville, Kentucky. Much of her early career was spent in Chicago where, after receiving her Fine Arts degree from the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1970, she made a living by selling her paintings locally. In 1980, Linda moved to South Carolina near Hilton Head where, she painted landscapes, portraits and horses.
In 1984, Augusta National Golf Club commissioned her to paint the famed 13th hole, thus beginning her golf landscape career. After an enormous response to her work at the 1988 PGA Show in Orlando, Linda focused her career entirely on golf landscapes. Since that time, Linda's work has enjoyed unparalleled status in the golf world, while receiving international acclaim including Golf Digest's "Lifetime Achievement Award." Linda is privileged to be a Founding Trustee of the Academy of Golf Art, a professional society of golf artists established in 2004 to create an awareness and appreciation of golf art as a valuable segment of fine art.
Linda's approach to capturing a great golf hole is by spending a week or more at each course, taking photographs at different times of the day to capture all possible lights. She then figures out what is important or memorable in each view of a hole and makes sure this is included in the painting. Her memory serves as a less objective image of the hole. The combination of the two provides the unique view found in each of her paintings.
"I really enjoy painting golf landscape. It is some of the most beautiful and varied landscape in the world combined with a deep, historical sense of tradition that transcends time. The painting is a success when both elements emerge."Visit www.tourstrikershop.com and use the promo code "GTR" for FREE shipping on the Tour Striker!

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 2.20.10 - Tiger Woods Statement & Mark Fletcher, President - Sunice - Hour 1 | Mike & Billy discuss during Mike's Course their take on Tiger Wood's statement/apology to the media. Mike Fletcher, President of Sunice, a golf apparel firm known for its amazing technical outerwear—rain pants with a built-in chamois to clean clubs; a "pro-trim" fabric that eliminates belly bulge during the swing—is gearing up to make a splash in the American market.
Until recently, Sunice had been part of the TaylorMade-adidas golf juggernaught, having been acquired in the deal that brought Ashworth Golf to TaylorMade in October 2008. That agreement called for Ashworth to market the Canadian-based Sunice's products in the U.S.
But perhaps the Sunice designs got lost in the shuffle. This month the company announced it had pulled out of the deal and began hiring its own team of U.S.-based executives. Howie Ellis, the widely respected former director of apparel sales at Callaway Golf, will be named executive vice president of Sunice Golf USA. He will be based in Boston.
"We essentially exercised an option to repurchase our trademark," said Mark Fletcher, the president of Fletcher Leisure group, the Montreal company that owns Sunice. "We wanted to focus on the American market more directly."
"We're very excited about our entire 2010 Sunice Outerwear Collection, which features more technological advancements than any product line in our history," said Sunice President Mark Fletcher. "Our Hurricane Collection leads the way, along with our Tornado Collection and Silver Collection, and our Ultimate Jacket V2 is destined to be a huge success because of its innovation and style."

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 2.06.10 - Mike Bender, PGA 2009 National Teacher of the Year & Master Prof. - Hour 2 | MIKE BENDER
Master Instructor, Mike Bender Golf Academy
2009 National PGA Teacher of the Year
Growing up in Waterloo, Iowa, Mike Bender was an inveterate tinkerer. He would dismantle, then reassemble, radios, televisions, bicycles and anything else that could be taken apart and put back together. It was this razor sharp mechanical aptitude, an eye for detail and a passion for golf that have combined to allow this Midwestern native to become one of the top golf instructors in the world.
Today, Bender can efficiently assemble a better golf swing for any golfer from rank beginners to the game's top touring professionals. This extraordinary knowledge combined with his ability to explain the necessary fundamentals in a clear and concise manner is why he is the 2009 PGA of America National Teacher of the Year, ranked among the Top 10 Greatest Teachers in America by Golf Digest Magazine and, for more than a decade, has been included in GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teacher list.
As Bender has quickly achieved worldwide recognition among his peers, the game’s top players have sought out his advice. Zach Johnson, 2007 Masters and AT&T Classic champion, has trained with Mike since Johnson was launching his professional career on the mini-tours at the beginning of the decade. LPGA tournament winners, Seon Hwa Lee and Joo Mi Kim also have been working with Mike for years. More recently, PGA Tour veterans including Skip Kendall and two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen have put their faith in Mike. All told, Bender has helped nearly two dozen PGA, Champions and LPGA Tour professionals with their games.
Many of these professionals have a high comfort level with Mike because they know he has been in their shoes. Bender was a three-time NCAA All-American (1978-1980) and two-time NCAA Division III individual champion (1979-1980) before spending three seasons on the PGA Tour from 1987-89. This high level of competition inspired Mike to search out top teachers to help him with his own game. During the 1980s while he was competing, he spent significant time learning about the golf swing from Ben Doyle, Mike Adams, David Leadbetter and Mac O’Grady, all of whom have been ranked among the 50 Greatest Teachers in America by Golf Digest. It was while working with these teachers that Bender’s swing theories were refined.
But having a solid understanding of the golf swing doesn’t necessarily make a teacher great. The instructor must also have a burning desire to transfer this knowledge to actual improvement in each student’s game. Mike not only wants to be able to explain how a student should make the most efficient golf swing possible, but he wants to make sure the student feels the proper swing for himself. Once the student can feel the proper motion, it becomes critical to find ways to enable the student to develop the correct motion even when the teacher isn’t watching.
Bender’s revolutionary solution is called MEGSA PPE. For more than a decade Bender filled his garage designing prototypes of what was to become this breakthrough training system. The final result, which stands for Most Efficient Golf Swing Attainable Perfect Practice Equipment is now being used by more than a dozen touring professionals, including Johnson and Morgan Pressel. This comprehensive training station is located on a practice range or indoor facility and allows golfers to hit shots while avoiding the unit's adjustable bumpers which provide real-time feedback as to whether or not the club and body are in the preferred positions during the swing.
Thousands of amateurs are already hooked on MEGSA PPE at select facilities around the country. While still in the early stages of the consumer roll out, Bender is working on plans to have MEGSA PPE equipped facilities throughout the world in the near future.
Today, from his home base near Orlando at Timacuan Golf Club in Lake Mary, Florida, Bender continues to tinker, designing new training aids, refining MEGSA PPE and trying to understand in even more detail what traits can make a golf swing even more efficient and powerful. For Mike, it is a quest for perfection that will never be complete, it is also a quest that has already made Bender one of the finest instructors golf has ever known.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 1.02.10 - Mike's Course - Welcome the New Year & Scott Gibbons, True Ympact - Hour 1 | During Mike's Course - Mike & Billy discuss how the New Year started for Mike just unbelieveable! Mike & Billy interview Scott Gibbons from True Ympact - www.trueympact.com. Every year, amateur golfers spend millions on over-sized drivers, premium golf balls, expensive irons, putters and much more. But let's be realistic. You could give a Professional PGA Player a $100 set of starter clubs, and they'd still beat the vast majority of amateurs, even if the amateurs are playing with the most expensive gear on the market. Why? Simply put, 95% of your game has nothing to do with your gear. The PGA Pros know this. They've fine tuned the mechanics of their swing, ensuring that when their club strikes the golf ball, their arms, hands and club face are at the optimum position for impact -- every time.Here's how the True Ympactâ golf swing training aid will help your game:TrueYmpactâ works with every club in your bag. It's helpful to golfers at every skill level. (see Golf.com review below)You can improve your full swing, bunker shots, chipping, pitching... even putting with True Ympactâ. It will help you train your arms, hands & muscles to consistently find the perfect impact position for your golf swing. The TrueYmpactâ golf swing training aid is guaranteed to improve at least one part of your golf game within 30 days or you'll receive a full refund.This golf swing training aid was just reviewed by Golf.com, where Gary Van Sickle wrote: "This is what I consider the ultimate compliment for a golf training aid -- it's as useful for good players as it is for beginners or high-handicappers. That is a rarity."Mike & Billy also interview Jim Delaby, PGA "In Da Lobby" and discuss the GTR Shag Bag Membership - Click Here for more information on the GTR Shag Bag Membership.Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 1.02.10 - Mike's Course - Welcome the New Year & Scott Gibbons, True Ympact - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

Your actions on the golf course will say the most about you as a golfer - much more than your golf clubs or score ever will. Etiquette has to do with manners. Golfers should show courtesy and sportsmanship at all times to their playing partners. The game of golf has a rich heritage based on a code of honor and proper etiquette. No other sport played by millions of amateurs worldwide and professionals for millions of dollars in prize money has a system of penalties whereby the player is required to call penalties on themselves. There are a few rules of golf etiquette that apply all the time, while others are specific to certain areas of the course. This guide is designed to help the reader understand the basic elements of golf etiquette and what is expected of them when they play a round of golf.Remember, golf is a game. My hope is that you will remember and enjoy using these golf etiquette tips.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 11.28.09 - PGA Mystery Tour, Chip Away @ It & Kent Brown with IJGT - Hour 2 | Kent Brown is a golf professional whose career and interest in the game spans more than fifty years. His first coach and teacher was his father, who cut down a wooden-shafted five iron, for Kent, when he was only six. His love and passion for the game came almost immediately. Today he is often kidded by his friends as being one-dimensional. It is however, his total commitment to his sport, and his life-long desire to improve, and help others to improve, that has set him apart as one of the top teachers in the country. Even though Kent spends most of his time at junior golf tournaments, and teaching juniors, and adults alike; he has never stopped being a student of the game himself. Kent feels privileged to have had opportunities for personal interaction with many industry leaders, top instructors, and PGA Tour professionalsâmost notably, Ben Hogan. He currently serves on the Southern California PGA Advisory Committee.
Kent played on his high school golf team before playing on scholarship at Cal State Long Beach, where he was team captain and number-one player in his junior and senior years. After instructing golf in the US Army, Kent turned professional, and joined the mini-tour ranks. He played competitive tournament golf for almost three years before accepting a position with the Ben Hogan Company in Ft Worth, Texas. It was there at the Ben Hogan Company, Kent continued his learning from the master. During his fifteen years with the Hogan Company, Kent became acquainted with tour player, and prominent golf instructor, Mac Ogrady. It was under Macâs watchful eye that Kent developed as a professionalâs professional. It was two years later, when long time friend, Dr. Tim Somerville, and Kent founded the now, world famous, Professional Golfers Career College, with campuses in Temecula, California, Orlando, Florida, and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. He served as Executive Director of the college for fifteen years, where he also taught Psychology of Golf, gave his students individual golf lessons, and taught them how to teach the game to others.
After selling his interest in PGCC in 2005, Kent accepted a position with the International Junior Golf Tour as the West Coast Director. In this role, he continues to teach and motivate the next generation of young players.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 11.14.09 - Scott Saunders, Utopia Golf & Chip Away @ It Golf Trivia - Hour 1 | To open the show during Mike's Course - Mike & Billy discuss the local 2009 Straight Down Fall Classic Golf Tournament held in San Luis Obispo County at the San Luis Obispo Country Club. Mike & Billy also announce their NEW GTR Partner - Adams Golf - www.adamsgolf.com. Utopia Golf Products is a young company headquartered in the tiny Texas town of Utopia (population: 300). The company's coming-out party took place at the PGA Fall Expo in early September in Las Vegas, where its uniquely designed putters garnered a "Best New Product" award.Utopia's first putters to market are the TXR I and TXR II. All putters are designed, milled, hand-assembled, painted and polished in tiny Utopia, and with company founders and designers Scott Saunders and Michael Hillis checking them out.The company describes the TXR 1 as a "cavity-back blade" and the TXR II as a "heel-shafted cavity-back mallet."So what's unique about the design? That ridge you can see in the photo above of the TXR 1. That ridge - a raised, thin leading edge - is what strikes the ball, and the ridge is positioned to strike the ball just above the ball's equator. The intent is provide the ball with immediate forward roll, rather than the backspin that most traditional putters (which have a few degrees of loft) start the ball with. An immediate forward roll, the company says, eliminates skipping and skidding, helping the ball stay online.The company is working on getting its putters into on- and off-course pro shops and sporting goods retailers. If they are not yet available where you live, the putters can be ordered (and more information found) on the company Web site, utopiagolfproducts.com.www.utopiagolfproducts.comAvila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 11.14.09 - Scott Saunders, Utopia Golf & Chip Away @ It Golf Trivia - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

Introducing Acculength, the only custom fit Junior clubs that grow with your child. Most juniors develop their swings using faulty equipment that leads to life long swing flaws. Historically, kids learned the game with adult clubs that were cut down to junior size, but were still way too heavy and unbalanced which made learning the game difficult for even the most athletic kids.Accu-Length's Custom Fit System Makes Learning the Game EasyPGA teaching professionals agree that a correctly fitted club is the most important factor in a junior golfer's development. It provides them a better chance to get the ball airborne consistently and is critical to proper swing motion.Custom fit for length, weight, and balanceNo transition between sets â your child will learn the game using only one set, saving you money and speeding up the learning processOne set â 5 seasons, think of the money you'll save!Top of the line materials provide high performance and durability for years of enjoyable useEasy to hit irons and wood make learning fast and easyLightweight and durable stand bag is comfortable to carry so your child can play 18 holes and be ready for moreSimple to use spacers make expanding clubs a breezehttp://www.clubsthatgrow.comEnter "ESPN" in the Promo Code Section at check out and receive a FREE Driver!Mike & Billy play the GTR golf trivia game Driver of the Day sponsored by Golflandwarehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.com.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 10.24.2009 - Brian Benedictson - Swinkeygolf.com - GTR Trivia - Hour 1 | The Goal with the Swinkey was to design to most efficient golf training tool available. What makes the most efficient golf training tool? I believe that the fairest answer to that question is that it must be the sort of golf training aid that has the best impact on your golf game. It would be a training tool that produces the best results in terms of improvement in your golf game over the shortest period of time.There are many good training tools out there. There are aids that help you with your full swing, your putting, short game, swing plane, power, fitness, flexibility, setup, etc. Each of them have a purpose in helping a person's game and it depends on the individuals game in deciding which one to purchase and use. Some want more power, some want to work on their setup, others want to improve their putting. So to answer the question, what would be the best training aid out there it would depend on the individual and what area they need the most improvement. If someone is struggling with their putting then a putting training would be their best bet. If someone lacked power then they would want a weighted swing club. A problem with this is as you know a person's game will change over time. For a month their putting is the part of their game suffering and then their setup goes and their putting improves. Then they might want to purchase something that helps their setup. You can see the issue here. The training aids out there today work for only one part of your game.I had a half dozen different training aids and it was too much to take them all with me when I went to the course. This is where the idea of the Swinkey came to me. The golfing world needed a training tool that applied to all aspects of your game. Not just one. I designed the Swinkey with total game improvement in mind so it's functions include fitness, swing training, swing setup, short game, putting setup and stroke training, and protection of your clubs in travel.I think you would agree that the best golf training aid is one that leads to the biggest improvement in the shortest amount of time for all golfers. The Swinkey is that tool. As a tour professional I have seen every training aid out there and even though my opinion may be biased as I am the inventor I believe the Swinkey to be the best training tool out there.

When not in use, it easily folds down to an 18â small ring and conveniently fits inside the large pocket of your golf bag or it can hang on the outside of your golf bag.The GolfRing was developed by an attentive dad for his 5-year-old son who asked one day, "Dad show me what three feet from the pin looks like." His dad searched for a practice aid to accomplish this with no luck. Drawing upon his manufacturing resources enabled him to develop the perfect visual practice aid. The GolfRing improved the boyâs short game by providing him a visual target around the hole. That little boy is now a two-time U.S Kids Southern Ohio champion and competed the past two years in the U.S. Kids World Championship. Although The GolfRing was created by one dad for one son, a friend with two golfing sons saw something bigger. They went on to start a company they envisioned could help every golfer of every level improve their short game and even making it fun. In the mean time two of the three boys went on to qualify for the U.S. Kids Regional Championship in 2007 and U.S. Kids Europe. That's when the two dads knew they were on to something big and they were off and running with the best practice aid to hit the game in a long time. The GolfRing is being used by some of the biggest names in golf every time they practice.www.thegolfring.comAvila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 10.03.09 - Jim Mclean, The Slot Swing & Patrick Wheat, The Golf Ring - Hour 2 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 09.19.09 - Mina Harigae, Duramed Tour Rookie of the Year & Tim Tocher, Pres. Preshwear.com - Hour 2 | Rookie MINA HARIGAE was not only the 2009 Player of the Year and the Rookie of the Year, but she might have also been the surprise player of the year. Not that anyone thought the Californian couldnât play â just that at age 19, when she emerged as the winner of back-to-back titles at the Ladies Titan Tire Challenge in Iowa, and at the Tourâs only 72-hole major championship, the Michelob ULTRA Duramed FUTURES Players Championship in Decatur, Ill., and even then, adding a third season title at the Falls Auto Group Classic in Kentucky, Harigae was starting to look like a young pro with a bright, bright future and ice water in her veins.By seasonâs end on Sunday last week, Harigae had earned $88,386 in 16 events, in addition, had also earned honors as Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.âLast year, I would have never thought Iâd be in this position,â said Harigae. âI feel like I grew as a player and a person on the Duramed FUTURES Tour. My main goal was to earn my full [LPGA] card, but getting Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year was like getting double icing on the cake.â Toronto, Ontario -- Canadian-based Phresh Wear Inc. will be launching their Spring 2010 line to the United States. Phresh prides itself on being a fresh, new take on the classics. Consumers no longer need to choose between fashion and function as the line continues to bridge the gap between performance and style. The company's slogan "Passion, Performance, Play" not only describes the spirit of the line but the people behind it.Founder Tim Tochor conceived the line in 2003. An avid golfer that played several mini-tour events, Tochor realized that his talents would be better used outside of simply playing the game. He realized that individuality was something that golf apparel lacked and the changing demographic of the sport demanded more options. The more youthfully-minded golfers entering the market were not interested in the traditional apparel that was commonplace on the course. In addition, these players insist on a very functional, wearable line that not only allowed them to express themselves but that also didn't inhibit their game.Teaming up with a stellar designer possessing 20 years of textile, forecasting, and design experience, Tochor manufactured a line that met the needs of the new golf demographic. First introduced at the 2004 Ontario PGA show in Toronto, the line received wildly enthusiastic reviews. The "Phresh appeal" and buzz started and has continued to grow. In 2008 Score Golf nominated Phresh Wear as the most emerging Canadian company of the year. The processes of localized production and design assure the company has control of their offerings and allows them to remain a step ahead of the market. With shorter lead times and private label options, they are still able to maintain affordable price points.The Phresh Spring 2010 collection is a reflection of the current times. With colors that reflect the feeling one has when they play the game, the overall theme is one that goes back to basics and strips out the superfluous. The sentiment is one that allows a well-deserved opportunity to unwind and while reconnecting with what is truly important and the drive to get there. The moods are evident; turquoise for the calming water of the ocean, grove is a relaxing siesta in the orange groves, and aloe invokes those soothing properties of the plant. Earthy colors ground the line with clay, coal, peat, and moss while crystal, maize, and orchid are meant to be more of a stress-relief. Anchored by classics such as navy, white, and black there is something for everyone to feel comfortable and confident in. Styles for Spring 2010 also utilize a sporty yet patriotic vibe that incorporates both classic and modern lines.Phresh Wear is carried by fine pro shops and resorts throughout the United States. In Canada they can be found in Summerland Golf Club, Mandarin Golf Club, Oakdale Golf Club, Glen Abbey, King Valley, Vancouver Golf Club, and the fine menswear store Frackeltons and Garveys.For more information visit the company website at www.phreshwear.com Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 09.19.09 - Mina Harigae, Duramed Tour Rookie of the Year & Tim Tocher, Pres.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B 8.15.09 - Tim O'Connor, Author of | Author-Tim O'Connor Reflections on Moe NormanTim OÂConnorÂs bestseller, The Feeling of Greatness: The Moe Norman Story, documents the bittersweet life of Moe Norman, one of the golfÂs most engaging characters, from his working-class roots in Kitchener, Ontario to his recognition as one of the worldÂs greatest ball-strikers.Re-issued in 2005, The Feeling of Greatness includes three new chapters covering the Canadian legendÂs last nine years until his passing in September 2004. The biography features a foreword by Lee Trevino, who has commented, "HeÂs the best ball striker I ever saw come down the pipe. I donÂt know anyone who could hit the ball better than Moe Norman." His ability garnered him fame and notoriety but alas, so did his extreme shyness and lack of social graces."OÂConnor tells the story in an objective and sympathetic voice, relating and debunking much of the folklore that earned Norman the stinging derisive label of Âthe Clown Prince of golf in a well-written, meticulously researched defense of one of golfÂs most maligned and misunderstood figures" James McCarten, PGATour.com says:Norman has long been a nearly mythical figure among professionals around the world. In 1980 while still a college player, Paul Azinger spotted Norman on a Florida driving range."He started ripping these drivers right off the ground at the 250-yard marker, and he never hit one more than 10 yards to either side of it, and he hit at least 50. It was an incredible sight. When he hit irons, he was calling how many times you would see it bounce after he hit it - sometimes before he hit it - and heÂd do it. It was unbelievable."In January 2005, Tiger Woods told Golf DigestÂs Jamie Diaz that only two golfers in history "owned their swing": Moe Norman and Ben Hogan.http://oconnorgolf.ca/Our-Products.aspxMike & Billy also play the GTR golf trivia games "Make the Call You!" and PGA Mystery Tour Player.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 08.01.09 - Adidas Golf - Tiss Dahan, Global Director of Marketing - Hour 1 | During Mike's Course - Mike and Billy discuss some very common phone calls that actually occur everyday at golf courses around the world. 1st-Interview Tiss Dahan,Senior Director of Global Appareladidas Golf PhilosophyGolfers are athletes.adidas Golf makes equipment that drives athletes to performa at the highest levelWe design our equipment to maximize the bodyâs golf potential.We engineer our equipment with the most innovative technology in the sport.We push our equipment in the very same way athletes push their bodies.We donât make shoes, shirts or jackets you wear.WE MAKE EQUIPMENT for your bodyIt has been 60 years since Adolf Dassler first put three stripes on a pair of athletic shoes, creating one of the most recognizable athletic brands in the world. The German sportswear company he founded, adidas (an amalgam of his nickname, "Adi," and the first three letters of his last name), marked the 60th anniversary with a special collection of golf apparel, as worn by Sergio Garcia in the U.S. Open this past June 2009.adidasâs exuberant branding reflects the sea change in golf fashion, from classicism to athleticism. Until recent years, golf has shied away from graphic displays on clothing, rooted as the sport is in genteel, country club tradition.adidas has long been torn about using their well-known trademark in an overt way on golf clothing. For many years when the company did put the three-stripe logo on golf shirts, it was only in a tone-on-tone color schemeâblue embroidery on a blue shirt, for instance. It was there but not there.Currently, the company is expanding its branding of other apparel, emphasizing the guiding philosophy of its founder Dassler, who equipped Jesse Owens with his track spikes for the 1936 Olympics. The idea has always been the development of specific performance clothing for each sport âto help athletes do their best. "We believe golf is a sport," said Tiss Dahan, senior director of global apparel for Adidas Golf. "The products we build always respect golf."With adidas technology like ClimaCool, ClimaProof and ClimaLite, all designed to maximize comfort while highlighting your style, you can enjoy the feel of a great day at the course even when you're stuck having a casual day at the office. Men, women and juniors can enjoy Comfort, Style, Technology and Athleticism which are all now blended in the adidas brand and look.Currently featuring the adidas brand on Tour: Sergio Garcia, Kenny Perry, Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day. And, on the LPGA Tour look for Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis.www.adidasgolf.comClick here for information on Golf-A-Palooza 2009 with Mike and Billy!Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 08.01.09 - Adidas Golf - Tiss Dahan, Global Director of Marketing - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio with M&B - 07.18.09 - The 2009 British Open, Tour Edge Exotics & Sharon Ohr, Sundale CC - Hour 1 | Mike & Billy discuss the results of the 2009 British Open through round 2. Headquartered in the suburbs of Chicago, Tour Edge was founded in 1985 by David Glod, a former golf pro at Village Links Golf Club in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. David as a young entrepreneur truly believed there was an opportunity in the golfing industry to provide a high quality product at an affordable price. In his mind there was no reason for the trend in inflating prices that were overcoming the market. David's goal was to change the consumer's perception of value and quality in golf clubs. He designed his first club in 1987 and never looked back.While constantly paying attention to both product design and quality, several new products were developed, including the Fiber-Sonic iron, the industry's first heel weighted club. Since then, many new and innovative products have been designed. Like Callaway and the Big Bertha, Adams and the Tight Lies, the Tour Edge claim to fame is Bazooka titanium woods. Benefiting from the success of the Bazooka titanium woods and irons, Tour Edge Golf is one of the fastest growing golf manufacturer's in the country. Offering exceptional pricing and superior performance, Tour Edge Clubs give golfers just what they need.Doubling sales every year since inception, Glod's original vision allowed Tour Edge to carve out a niche as a worldwide manufacturer of premium quality products that are sold at a reasonable price. As the reputation of Tour Edge grew regionally, by 1990 there was a need to organize a sales and marketing program to further the company's success. Around this time, David's brother Gordon Glod, now vice president, joined the team. He recognized the need for a club maker that could provide reliable service and custom clubs in a timely manner. Gordon actively pursued many new markets and helped open doors for the new product line.According to David, "By 1992 demand had increased immensely and Anthony Herb was hired as production manager. Now vice president of operations, Anthony brought six years of experience and a well rounded knowledge of the industry to Tour Edge. His ideas for a more efficient means of production were well received and quickly instituted. Since his arrival, Anthony has set an industry standard for consistency of product quality and timely delivery.Commanding strong Midwest sales, Gordon realized the need for a national distribution strategy. In 1993, Andy Silis was hired to head up the company's national sales campaign. Andy's ten years of golf sales experience and familiarity with accounts across the country put Tour Edge on the map nationally. His industry knowledge and ability to position Tour Edge products helped drive the company sales and opened the door for national and international distribution.The final piece of the puzzle was put into place in 1995 when Tour Edge hired Jay Hubbard to spearhead the company's marketing and advertising strategy. Hubbard, a veteran marketer with seven years experience, quickly stepped up to the plate and established public relations and advertising programs to support that national sales effort and help build the brand. By 1996, the Tour Edge team had catapulted the company into Golf Pro Magazine's ranking of the top 40 equipment manufacturers.Since that time, the national media, word-of-mouth, and strong retail sales have created a new best-selling brand. According to Andy Silis, national sales manager, "At one of the best golf shops in America, Tour Edge irons are on average the #1 selling iron above the best-known brands in the industry. In addition, Tour Edge metal woods are on average the #2 best selling woods. We have come a long way and I am proud to be part of it."Many new employees have joined the Tour Edge team over the years, each person filling a critical need, but all with the same goals in mind: commitment to quality, devotion to customer service, and dedication to innovation. David Glod has built his company around these goals and has made a pledge to adhere to them. With that in mind, consumers can expect the same high quality product and exceptional service that was first instituted in 1985. www.touredge.comSharon Ohr, General Manager of Sundale CC in Bakersfield, California calls into GTR to discuss the Bakersfield Open.Click here for information on Golf-A-Palooza 2009 with Mike and Billy!Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio with M&B - 07.18.09 - The 2009 British Open, Tour Edge Exotics & Sharon Ohr, Sundale CC - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio with M&B - 07.11.09 - Swing Man Golf - Jaacob Bowden & The Special Olympics - Hour 1 | In 2003, Jaacob Bowden was living in Kansas City working as a computer engineer in the corporate world. Uninspired in his daily work and realizing that playing golf gave him tremendous satisfaction, Jaacob traded in his corporate career to pursue the dream of becoming a Professional Golfer. This journey has since taken Jaacob from being an average golfer who typically drove the ball 220-275 to scratch golfer and long-drive champion.While Jaacob's long-term goal is to play on the PGA Tour, he has made considerable strides in a relatively short amount of time. In 2003, after working with distinguished golf instructors Dan Shauger and Mike Austin, Jaacob won the Pinnacle Distance Challenge with a televised drive of 381-yards and he has also since hit a grid-record 421-yard drive at a RE/MAX World Long Drive Local Qualifier in Temecula, California.His athletic ability coupled with his insatiable appetite to learn every aspect of the game has made him not only a respected player but an incredible teacher as well. As a result, he brings perspective and experience that uniquely relates to both the average and professional golfer. Through his own training Jaacob has explored and tested a variety of techniques and training aids - the most recent of which involves researching swing speed training. His personal efforts to increase his own swing speed - and thus hit bigger drives - has made Jaacob one of the foremost experts on speed training in the world.Jaacob continues to train and prepare for golf tournaments and long drive events while furthering his knowledge of golf and swing speed.http://www.swingmangolf.comClick here for information on Golf-A-Palooza 2009 with Mike and Billy!Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio with M&B - 07.11.09 - Swing Man Golf - Jaacob Bowden & The Special Olympics - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio with M&B - 6/27/2009 - Blair Phillip with YES Putters - Hour 2 | Yes Putter Technology-What It Does Early roll means less deflection and a straighter line.By gripping the back of the ball and lifting it forward on impact, the C-Grooves of a Yes putter create almost instant stabilization, causing the ball to roll forward much sooner than any other putter. In fact, as much as six times sooner.The above illustration is a detailed summary of multiple 20â test putts as conducted by an independent testing firm. Using a putting robot and a 100-frame-per-second video camera, they were able to show how the C-Groove putter dramatically and consistently outperforms the putters of major golf companies.Balls struck with the Yes! C-Grooves invariably achieved forward roll within 3â to 4â while balls struck by competitive putters repeatedly skidded, skipped and spun before settling into forward roll in approximately 18 inches.And the sooner a ball achieves smooth forward roll, the better the line it will have and the less likely it is to be affected by aberrations in the green. In short, more putts will drop in.Even when struck up to a quarter of an inch off center, the C-Groove putter rolls the ball sooner and more consistently.This technology has been proven in thousands of comparison tests performed by professional and amateur golfers at over 100 PGA Tour Events worldwide and at major trade shows in the U.S. and Europe. Read PGA Event Headlines.Perhaps the best endorsement is the fact that over 200 touring pros now use Yes! putters, without receiving any endorsement dollars to do so. They use it because of how well it plays, not how well it pays.Additional TestingIndependent Testing: âRobotâ testing was also conducted to compare consistency of distance and line for balls struck with identical force numerous times on a 50â putt. These tests substantiated the fact that the C-Groove putter, due to its truer roll, was more consistent in distance and line. By hitting the ball on different points on each putter face, the same test also proved that the C-Groove putter had the least variance in direction, even on off-centered hits.#1 Rankmark Ranking: In 2002 The Yes! Golf C-Groove putter has been ranked number 1 among 60 of golfâs top putters, by Rankmark, America's premier golf testing company. Rankmark conducted independent testing at country clubs, driving ranges and PGA and LPGA Tour events.100% Satisfaction Among PGA Tour Partners Members: Soon after introduction, Yes! Golf C-Groove putters earned an unprecedented 100% favorable review with a buy rating from PGA Tour Partners Club members. The PGA Tour Partners Club is an organization of 500,000+ golfers and regularly sends new golf products to members for unbiased review and testing.

Review - The Secrets of Hogan's Swing- Tom Bertrand"Like finding the Rosetta Stone of golf... Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler's The Secret of Hogan's Swing gives us a pipeline to the Master's wisdom that we thought had been lost forever. Secret is an instruction book like no other. It's the Hogan book Hogan himself never wrote, packed with the insights the great champion passed on to John Schlee (in a fascinating mentor-disciple relationship) and that Schlee in turn bequeathed to Tom Bertrand. We'll probably never have anything like this again. Hogan's gone, Schlee's gone, but thank goodness we've got Tom Bertrand to preserve the nuggets of pure golfing gold that the Master dug up "out of the dirt" of ten thousand practice tees and a thousand tournaments. The Secret of Hogan's Swing demonstrates that the vein of wisdom left by the peerless champion still yields up precious ore, not just in the technical aspects of the golf swing (Hogan's concepts are not only absolutely modern but even quite radical) but in his insights into the psychological and mental aspects of the game. His concept of the 'moving wall' is worth the price of the book alone. A must-read for every serious student of the game."âSteven Pressfield, author of The Legend of Bagger Vance"The Secret to Hoganâs Swing goes beyond pure instruction, offering insightful shot-making and strategy tips passed on to former tour pro John Schlee from Ben Hogan and interpreted wonderfully by Tom Bertrand and Printer Bowler."âJohn Andrisani, author of Tigerâs New Swing and Heaven Can Wait Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio with M&B - 6/20/2009 - Live @ Golfland Warehouse - Tom Bertrand "The Secret of Hogan's Swing" - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 6/06/2009 - DJ Gregory "Walking with Friends, Women's Golf Month, GTR "Fore Play" Trivia - Hour 1 | Mike & Billy discuss the PGA's Women's Golf Month brought to you by American Express. For more information on Women's Golf Month visit www.playgolfamerica.com. DJ Gregory - "Walking with Friends"A golf enthusiast and cerebral palsy patient describes his year of traveling with the PGA tour at the sides of many of his professional heroes, a journey marked by his walks through each of the courses on which the golfers played, his witness to tournament events, and an array of unique physical challenges.D.J. Gregory fell in love with golf at the age of twelve, when he first began watching the game on television and attending local tournaments with his dad. But unlike many other golf fans, D.J. never dreamed of playing professionally. He never thought of becoming a ranked amateur, or even a caddie.When D.J. was an infant, doctors told his parents that he would probably spend his life in a wheelchair because of his cerebral palsy. But that didn't keep D.J. from trying to beat the odds, enduring five surgeries, learning to walk with a cane, and eventually earning college degrees in sports management. Golf had always remained D.J.'s passion, and in 2008, he decided to make a dream come true -- to travel the country and walk with a different player at each event on the PGA Tour.From the first event on the island of Maui, through the season-ending tournament at Disney World, D.J. lived out a sports fantasy unlike any other. Every week of the tour, he traveled to a tournament where he walked every round with the greatest golfers in the world: Boo Weekley, an affable country boy who went on to be the hero of the Ryder Cup...Davis Love III, whose twentieth career win earned him a lifetime card in the PGA...and Kenny Perry, the forty-eight-year-old veteran who, like the last days of a bright nova, made his final professional moments in 2008 the hottest and most brilliant of his career.For D.J., it was the most exciting year of his life, a physically challenging but emotionally rewarding adventure filled with wonderful people, unforgettable moments, and cherished memories. "Walking with Friends" is a book for all the fans who live for the love of the game, for the dreamers and doers who make things happen, and for the friends who help us walk through the journey of life.Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy "Fore Play" golf trivia where the winner receives a golf package valued at over $500!Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 6/06/2009 - DJ Gregory "Walking with Friends, Women's Golf Month, GTR "Fore Play" Trivia - Hour 1 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 4/04/2009 - Mark Long - Fred Funk's Caddie/Sky Caddie & John Brooks - Shell Houston Open - Hour 2 | Mark Long: PGA TOUR Caddie/SkyGolf Advisory Board MemberMark Long has been a PGA TOUR Caddie for more than 20 years, and currently carries the bag for PGA TOUR veteran and Champions Tour standout Fred Funk.Recognized as one of the most respected TOUR Caddies, Mark has been a staff advisor to SkyGolf since 2000, when the initial SkyCaddie model was in development. Mark has been instrumental in developing the SkyCaddie TOUR proven Mapping Methodology -- based on a TOUR Caddieâs perspective. TOUR Caddies walk every yard of the golf course to provide distances their pros can trust, as walking the course is the only way to truly understand the intricacies of a golf course, and SkyGolf is the only company that has adopted this methodology.Long is the author of several yardage books for TOUR players. In 1998, Mark started authoring yardage books for TOUR pros, by 2001 he perfected his technique, and today is one of the most sought after yardage book authors on TOUR. In fact, Mark authored the USGA yardage book for the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, and will author the USGA yardage book for the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.Mark started his competitive golf career as a Terrapin for the University of Maryland under the leadership of Fred Funk. Mark has caddied in over 600 tournaments for Fred Funk and Nolan Henke, including 30 majors. He saw his first caddie win with Nolan Henke and, while with Fred, has seen three PGA TOUR and three Senior Champions Tour wins.TOUR Proven Mapping:Only SkyCaddie, after getting permission from each golf club, walks the course with skilled golfers â using sub-meter, survey grade equipment â to record and verify its course information, using the same method trusted by TOUR Caddies, for the gameâs best players. Using unverified and possibly out-of-date satellite images is a cost-saving short cut that could produce unfavorable results for both the facility and golfer and could hurt the growth of this category, which is the only growing category in golf. In fact, satellite images are aerial views that are created by IT technicians who donât necessarily have knowledge about the game of golf.SkyCaddie professional course mappers have literally walked 23,000 courses using state-of-the-art GPS survey grade equipment to capture distances from every angle on every course. These course mappers are skilled golfers and established caddies that understand whatâs important for a golfer to score his or her best.Avila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 4/04/2009 - Mark Long - Fred Funk's Caddie/Sky Caddie & John Brooks - Shell Houston Open - Hour 2 | Play in Popup.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 3/28/2009 - Jimmy Ballard, Pioneer of Connection - Hour 2 | Jimmy Ballard, Pioneer of Connection. No instructor in the game of golf has ever resurrected more champion golf swings than Jimmy Ballard. Residing a the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida, the founding "Pioneer of Connection in the golf swing, Jimmy Ballard continues as one of the top golf instructors in the world. In 1988 alone, Ballard's "connection" method stimulated victories in four major international tournaments with the U.S. Open Winner Curtis Strange, (who would add another Open title in '89); Masters Champion Sandy Lyle; British Open victor Seve Ballesteros, and British Amateur champion, Sweden's Christian Harden. A teachers' "Grand Slam" if there ever was one. From top money winners, to PGA / LPGA / SR.PGA champions and record breaking accuracy merits, Ballard has been praised for their successes. Named by Golf Magazine, the '80's "Teacher of the Decade", Ballard began setting his sights to the future. In '86, he was invited to join the telecast of the British Open at Turnberry for ESPN, returning to television after regular appearances from his highly popular home video instructional series, "The Jimmy Ballard Golf Connection". A demand for further directional videotapes was met with the '89 release of "The Fundamental Golf Swing."During these early years, Ballard created a dictionary of golf terminology sufficient in it's scope to assist the beginner as well as the professional. His famous "Seven Common Denominators" and "Misleading Terms" swept golf magazine headlines nationwide, reaching international recognition by the late 1970's. His 1981 book, "How To Perfect Your Golf Swing," outlined the golf swing in sequential detail, specifying inaccuracies in teaching golf over the years due to his discovery of a "deceptive feel" as opposed to actuality, and clarifying the "identifiable essential movements present in great ball strikers "â. Stressing that "great ball strikers" have not been singular to one sport or activity. Arthur Ashe used them in tennis, Joe DiMaggio perfected them in baseball, and Ben Hogan mastered them in golf and Jimmy named it "Connection"Ballard, in spreading his gospel, has spoken to most of the PGA Sections around the country. In December of 1996, he was selected as one of the top 4 teachers in the world, to make his presentation to the contingent of PGA members gathered from the United States as well as 23 other countries. He is credited with making the 1996 Tommy Armour PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit a major success.Swedish superstar Jesper Parnevik, has had continued success after first coming to Ballard with Sweden's national Golf Team in the mid 80's. He credits Jimmy with "teaching him all there is to know!"The 1997 Junior Champion was Jason Allred, who started working with Jimmy at 15. European Ryder Cup captain, Tony Jacklin improved after seeing Ballard.In late 2004, Rocco Mediate came to give it one last chance. His back could not go on without making changes. "The guy is brilliant, just genius."In March 2008 Rocco brought US Ryder Cup Captain Paul Azinger to see Jimmy.The list goes onâ www.jimmyballardgolf.comAvila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download Golf Talk Radio M&B - 3/28/2009 - Jimmy Ballard, Pioneer of Connection - Hour 2 | Play in Popup.

The Hooton sisters -Libby 17 years old -Courtney 15 years old and Chloe Belle 12 years, old began- playing golf in 1999 and have been avid players since they started. They love the game and all of its challenges.Every summer, they live and breathe golf and particularly enjoy the wonderful community of friends that they have developed. They love to read about the game, the players, and most of all, the fashions. Unfortunately, there are no known publications that are tailored to the junior audience.Twenty-five percent of all golfers are women. However, through 2003, only 13 percent to 16 percent of junior golfers were girls source: National Golf Foundation . This is an audience that had been underserved by the traditional golf marketers. Until now.Beginning in 2002, younger girl golfers began to have a big impact on the golfing market. Perhaps the biggest movement began when a young Hawaiian resident, Michelle Wie, began playing competitively in adult tournaments at the age of 12. Many have estimated that Wie will have the biggest influence on women s golf ever seen. However, there are also a number of other very young golfers making their mark on professional golf. In 2005, Paula Creamer was the second-highest ranked woman golfer by the time she was 18. Morgan Pressel just missed winning the 2005 women s U.S. Open while still a junior in high school.

| Golf Talk Radio M&B - 3/7/2009 - Jim Flick, Master Teaching Professional & Casey Martin, PGA Tour/Golf Coach OSU - Hour 2 | In 1950, Jim Flick was a scratch golfer in his second year at Wake Forestâand not good enough to make a starting team that included Arnold Palmer and Buddy Worsham. Flick's roommate was his best friend, Gene Scheer; Palmer's was Worsham. One evening, after a home football game against Duke, Scheer and Worsham got impatient waiting for Flick and Palmer and drove without them to a dance in Durham.Coming home, their car crashed and both perished. Flick and Palmer, feeling their lives were spared and trying to overcome their grief, decided to room together. Thus, Palmer was one of the first major influences on Flick's career.Flick lettered in basketball and golf, but turned his attention to golf instruction. Although Bill Strausbaugh was an early influence, Bob Toski had a special effect. Toski and Flick developed the Golf Digest Schools from 1972-'90. Flick also spent 20 years as director of instruction at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, where he helped Tom Lehman go from a struggling Hogan Tour player to the 1996 British Open champion. In 1990, Flick worked with Jack Nicklaus at The Tradition tournament. Jack won the event, and Flick has been his coach ever since.Today, Flick is director of instruction at the TaylorMade Learning Center. "I'm more of a motion teacher than a position teacher," he says. "I advocate swinging the arms and club with the body reacting." www.jimflick.comCasey Martin was born in Eugene, Oregon and still resides there. Educated at Stanford University,and briefly a teammate of Tiger Woods, Casey was three times all Pac-10 and also a member of the University's NCAA Championship team in 1994. He won the 1993 Sahalee Players Championship, and after turning professional in 1995 Casey competed in several PGA and Nationwide tour events. While pursuing his professional golf career Casey came to national prominence in the late 90's by suing the PGA of America to allow him permission to use a golf cart while playing. Suffering from birth with a defect in his leg know as Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome, Martin feels the daily effect of this rare circulatory disorder that withered his right leg to the point that may eventually force him to face amputation. Although Casey won his lower federal court decision to utilize a cart in competition, many PGA professionals took opposites sides of the decision and the debate still exists as to the extent that "disabilities" should be consisted and accommodated on the professional golf tour. An interesting irony to this circumstance exists since many Senior or Champion PGA tour players exercise the option to compete while utilizing carts on the "Senior Tour." In spite of the controversy, Casey maintained a positive attitude and has been described by many as honoring the game and facing his circumstance with both "courage" and "dignity".Now the Head Men's Golf Coach at the University of Oregon since 2006, Martin continues to impact others golf game and life circumstances.

Hardy's second book, "The Plane Truth for Golfers Master Class" is focused more on the art, or the "how to", of the key swing elements of the two swing types.Among his students have been Frank Beard, Dave Stockton, Carol Mann, Donna Caponi, Hollis Stacy, Brad Faxon and Mark OâMeara.

Even on the PGA Tour, the swings of the best ball strikers all have different shapes and styles -- from the classic actions of Tiger Woods and Ernie Els, to the unusual moves of Jim Furyk, John Daly, and Sergio Garcia. But there is one thing these great players all do have in common. The essence of good ball striking is proper use of the club through the impact zone. It's what Tiger, Ernie, Jim, John and Sergio all do exactly alike. And you can learn to do it, too. www.ajgolf.comAvila Beach Golf Resort - www.avilabeachresort.com Blacklake Golf Resort - www.blacklake.comInn at Avila Beach - www.avilabeachca.comAvila LaFonda Hotel - www.avilalafondahotel.comGolfland Warehouse - www.golflandwarehouse.comSlickstix - www.slickstix.comFor more information on Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy visit www.golftalkradio.com and visit www.centralcoasttoday.com for Golf Talk TV with Mike & Billy. | Get at Short URL | Download GTR M&B - 02/14/2009 - Jim Hardy & AJ Bonar - Hour 2 | Play in Popup.

| GTR M&B - 02/07/2009 - Eddie Merrins, PGA - Hour 2 | Affectionately known as the "Little Pro," Eddie Merrins has long been revered as a golf guru. For nearly 40 years Eddie has lived and breathed the game and the way of life of golf as Head Professional at the Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles. At the Bel-Air Country Club the locker nameplates read like an Oscar party guest list; Tom Cruise, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, Richard Crenna, Jack Wagner and James Garner, are just a few.The Little Pro has instructed some of the biggest names in entertainment, as well as some of the highest-level professional golfers. Merrins has amassed almost 60 years of knowledge, from his years as a junior, amateur and college golfer to his career as a professional tour player, instructor, head professional and NCAA coach.Teaching means more to me than any tournament because I've helped that person to help himself or herself," Merrins said. "Playing is for personal satisfaction, but teaching is a labor of love."While beginning his teaching career, Merrins also had the insight that would lead him to develop his "swing the handle" philosophy that became his most lasting contribution to golf instruction.Asked to explain how exactly "swing the handle" works, Merrins told a story about the 1978 British Open at St. Andrews. He was on the practice tee with Tom Kite, and Jack Nicklaus approached. They exchanged pleasantries and then Jack got right to the point. He looked at me and said, 'You believe in swing the handle, don't you? Explain it to me,'" Merrins remembered. "Out of the blue, a mental image came to me. I said, 'Jack, you're a tennis player. Swing the handle means the golf swing is just like a two-armed tennis stroke.'"Merrins said Nicklaus took it all in with a completely neutral look and went back to his bucket of balls,"and then, don't you know, he won the tournament," Merrins said.

| Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy - 1/17/2009 - John Novosel - Tour Tempo.com - Hour 1 | Mike and Billy interview John Novosel during Hour 1 of the Saturday, January 17th, 2009 show. As an avid golfer and inventor, John Novosel studied films of the PGA greats, searching, along with countless others over the last century, for the key to what made certain golfers' swings so effortless, artful, and effective. Viewing the films, Novosel made a startling discovery. Nearly every champion demonstrated identical timing in their swings. An extensive review of archival footage of the greats throughout confirmed his findings. From Ben Hogan to Tiger Woods, whether the swings were fast or slow, the winning rhythm remained constant.In this breakthrough book, Novosel and Sports Illustrated writer John Garrity lay out exactly how to achieve this tour tempo. Enhanced with photographs and illustrations, this clear, step-by-step method teaches golfers how to resynchronize their swings and play like a pro. An accompanying CD-ROM vividly illustrates the full swing sequence and features a calibrated soundtrack that readers can use while practicing at a driving range or in their backyards.Novosel's teaching technique has resulted in tremendous and rapid improvement for players of all levels. In a world of gimmicky, quick-sell golf instructionals, TOUR TEMPO is the real thing.
