Dog Days of August

Some hot days recently on the lesson tee at the Four Seasons/Dallas.  The last 3 days the heat index has approached 110 degrees in the afternoon.  The heat hasn't stopped my loyal students from improving their games.  Since I returned from vacation, the last three days I've had a chance to work with alot of the juniors I teach.  They're all out practicing trying to get better.  I have to hand it to them because it's been hot.
Jordan Frye delayed his return back to Liberty University to work with me Thursday morning, then hopped in the car to drive for two days.  Bryce Brown came down from Lincoln, Nebraska to spend 3 days working on his game for several hours each day.  He's a fantastic talent and is headed to the Nebraska-Kansas Junior Cup Matches tomorrow.  Matt Gilchrest was out, just back from the US Kids Tournament at Pinehurst.  As a 15 year old he shot 73-72 at the US Amateur qualifier two weeks ago.  Saw Deb Mielke Friday.  She's still grinding away at the age of 55 looking to qualify for the US Mid Am and US Senior Am in the next month.  Patrick O'Neil and Phillip Rosengarden were out tuning up for this week-end's Junior Club Championship at the Four Seasons.  These are just a few examples.
Just a big thanks to all my students that are putting in the time during the dog days of August.  You'll be better for it.
