I would like to say, "Thank-You" to everyone the past weeks for your kind words on the recent article in Golf Digest' Top Young Teachers under 40."  I am fortunate to teach at a great facility and have access to all the important tools I need to improve my students.  I look forward to helping you in 2011 and in the upcoming months.

As 2011 is upon us, I look forward to helping everyone reach their goals for the upcoming year.  I am in the process of adding new programs, adjusting my current programs, and listening to you on any program that you would like to see.  

2011 is all about you, what would you like to see different?  Let me know your thoughts.

First off, I would like to apologize to everyone for not posting new blogs.  I for one know the feeling of going to a website and seeing the same blog over a week or two old.  Therefore, I am making a promise to you to keep posting blogs and keeping you updated in the world of golf and myself at the Jim McLean Golf Center in Forth Worth, Texas.  Stay tuned!
