His phone is (918-791-5689). GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK OK, please take note. Golf shot misses occur because the backswing is not "in sync". If your backswing is disciplined on the take-away then the return to the ball will be good. If your take-away is NOT disciplined, then your return to the ball will have errors. As usual, if this does not help, call me and we'll get it worked out.
