Rick Murphy, Carolinas PGA 2009 Teacher of the Year!
A tip of the LBG cap to student and friend, Rick Murphy, on his being named the Carolinas PGA 2009 Teacher of the Year.
The Carolinas Section has more than 2,000 members and is the largest in the PGA of America. Rick was also last year's Professional of the Year, and the back-to-back accomplishments are unprecedented in the Carolinas Section.
It's great to have an LBG guy win the Carolinas Teacher of the Year. If you're ever in Charleston look me up.
B-Ray,
Don't know about Rick making it to Charleston, but I encourage you to think about coming to Greensboro. He and I are doing a two-day clinic together for the Carolinas Section guys on March 1-2. No info has gone out yet, but mark the dates. It's gonna be a good'n!
Had a great lesson today with Rick ( who I believe is now a Lynn Blake Senior Instructor). We hit balls- high, low, hooks, fades, flops, driver off the deck- geez I was worn out. The sound and flight of my golf ball is vastly improved since working with Rick.

Sorry! Knew it was an increased level of certification. Senior moment! Rick said it was a great time at Cuscowilla. Hard work and much learned.
Yoda, hope you are well. Don't work too hard!
Just want to update my progress with Rick. I cannot tell you how my ball striking has improved. The compression... Well it is beyond description. I hit several shots today that were as pure as I have ever hit. If I stay centered, maintain constant driving pressure the results are amazing. I hit shot after shot that is solid and on line. Yoda and Rick have changed my golf game, that is for sure. Can't thank them enough.
Another great morning on the range with Rick. Apparently I have worked hard enough that he felt it time to make some drastic (to me anyway!) changes to my setup by forcing me to get closer to the ball and extend my arms to the ball. My, oh my. What a change. I can finally drive my right shoulder down the plane! Thanks Rick! Can't wait to hit some balls tomorrow!
