Key Quotes: "He broke me down and where we noticed the biggest opportunity for growth, I'm not finishing swings, period. I'm still a little, know, handsy and armed, armsy, is that a word?" "Sometimes it's a nasty slice. Sometimes I hooked the ball completely. I miss both directions to be frank. What Melvin helped me understand was first and foremost, how to hit a draw, a fade, a cut." "I have a mirror in my living room, I can pick up the club and do two swings in a minute or two, just whenever I find a moment. And that's going to go a long way to further helping reprogram this new swing that's going to allow me to swing with my entire body, get my hips through full rotation and make clean, consistent contact."
