Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. McLean just last week at a par 3 course in Utah. He had just stuffed a wedge inside 12’. What a legend.

I still use one of jims techniques. That is to miss every green by choice at a spot and try to shoot even par. ( my case 6 over)

What an amazingly insightful podcast. I immediately looked up the eight steps on RUclips and there’s an invaluable old video demonstrating each of the eight steps along with some of the ‘death moves’. For any serious golfer , even for low handicap folks this video is a treasure. Thank you Mark for introducing us to Jim M.
