Bobby Lee Golf

I wanted to congratulate Andrew Jensen for qualifying for the Canadian Tour for the 2008 season. Andrew was one of my junior students when I was teaching at the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club in Ottawa, Canada in 2001. If you are ever traveling in the area, I highly recommend this beautiful course. It is a great layout with even better people. I wish I could say I was the one who was totally responsible for Andrew’s accomplishments, but alot of his success has to go to his father Al, who is a CPGA golf professional and very talented player. I was very honored that his father allowed him to come work with me when I was teaching at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage. Andrew is very dedicated to his golf and with his strong morals, I know he will be successful in his endeavors. I wish him the best of luck. If you want to follow his new golfing adventure on the Canadian PGA, go to his website andrewjensen.ca.

I have added him to my blog roll as I will be following the diary of his experiences of chasing the dream. To say I am very proud of him, and honored to be called a friend would be an understatement!

I thought I should bring to attention the facility I am teaching out of now. It is mentioned in my “About” page, but I was just informed not all of you are going to read there! I am based out of Conway, Arkansas at present and teaching locally at the Central Arkansas Golf Academy. They opened 2 years ago and is one of the nicest practice facilities you will find outside of a major city. It offers a spacious driving range and a 2 hole short game practice area complete with bunkers. It is also utilized by The University of Central Arkansas golf team as their practice facility. If you are in Arkansas, or plan to travel here, check out their web site and set up a time to meet!

As is mentioned in my “About” page where I give a brief bio, I will and do travel to students who are not local to me. I will get a testimony page up soon of some of my students across the US and Canada. If you have the time and resources, this is the best way to advance your game. It is not only more fun to play an instructional round then to hit on the range, it really accelerates the learning process.

In addition if you are traveling to Hot Springs, Arkansas my brother David Lee (the inventor of Gravity Golf) owns and manages a beautiful training facility there, complete with 3 practice holes.

As I mentioned in the last post and on my welcome page, I just returned last Friday from 10 days in Palm Springs. One of my students flew me out there for some instruction and we played at the beautiful Terra Lago Golf Course. The hard core golf fan will know it used to be called The Landmark and was the site of several Skins Games. If you ever get a chance to play it, do it! For the most part the weather was great as the rest of the country was going through cold and rain and snow. I had a chance to work with some old students (as I used to live out there) and meet some new ones and overall had a great 10 days of golf.

I also got to shoot footage for my upcoming DVD that will cover my overall philosophy of the body friendly golf swing and various drills to help your body learn the proper techniques to generate that effortless power. For a preview of chapter one of my coming e-Instructional Guide on the various power sources and how to generate effortless power, sign up here.

A really neat situation occurred as I came off the golf course one evening. I ran into Al Geiberger, “Mr. 59″ himself! He lives in Desert Springs and is the pro emeritus at Stone Eagle Golf Club. In case you do not know, Al Geiberger was the first player to shoot a 59 in a PGA event in the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic in 1977.  The 30th anniversary of this amazing achievement was noted in most golf media this past spring. This mythical achievement has overshadowed the facts of his very successful 47 year PGA career; 21 PGA tour and Champions victories including the 1966 PGA title. There are more then a few who claim he had the sweetest swing ever.

I introduced myself when I saw him as Bobby Lee, David’s brother. He immediately smiled and said “Gravity Golf” I have the tapes! David was the one that came up with the system I teach. It was quite enjoyable visiting with Mr. Geiberger, and hearing that he owned the original tapes done by my brother back when. He was very complimentary of our teaching methods and agreed that how we teach a relaxed swing is key. As a matter of fact, he told the gentleman he was with “you could use some of this”! When I related this story to my webmaster he was upset I did not get a photo or an autograph, lol.

Well, I have finally arrived at the doorstep of the blogosphere! Kicking and screaming no less, lol. Several of my students have urged me for a while now that I need to “be online”. I was dubious at first, but in the last few months after consulting with various friends and students, I firmly believe that I can help people with their golf game long distance. One of my golf students in particular has brought me up to speed on all the new technology that is available, and that it is more cost effective then I realized.

So here we are, my first blog post! I have a LOT of plans for teaching golf online and I’m excited to take on the challenge to prove I can help golfers even if we can not meet in person. As a matter of fact, I just got back from teaching in Palm Springs and shooting a DVD I will release next year. If you saw the front of this site, you know I am in the process of completing an e-Instructional Golf Guide, that is a synopsis of my philosophy of the golf swing and the most efficient way to teach it and learn it. I need to add some photos and images, and do some editing and hope to have that ready in January 2008 as well.

In the mean time feel free to sign up for my Golf Newsletter (have not come up with a catchy title yet :P) where I will go over different tips or drills or the occasional rant and/or rave that has happened that week. I look forward to meeting my fellow golfers that are prowling the internet, seeking some common sense golf instruction and advice.

I look forward to your comments and questions. Stay tuned, my webmaster and I are planning some pretty cool contests, that should prove a lot of fun and informative as well.
