Mike Malaska explains the golf swing better than anyone. The fact that Eric did not have to add any other comment says it all. Thanks Mike for allowing this information on RUclips for free. I have learned more from your videos than any lesson I have paid for. Thank you from all of the amateurs out here waiting for this pandemic to pass.
You and mike have changed my golfing life. I never knew how to correctly pivot. I’m a 12 hddcp and shoot low to mid 80s and I’ve posted a 75,77 and 78 in my last 3 rounds since seeing this video. You taught me how to pivot. On camera I look like I’m firing those hips the way I always tried to but could never do ! The linear forces of hip socket back wards for back swing and down swing and timing it at impact have given me 1 amazing reliable swing thought .”left hip socket back at impact.” A swing feel more than a thought. What we see on camera and tv with the pros are “symptoms” of a good golf swing , and we all try and mimic that and fail , you and mike just taught us the invisible linear forces to “get those symptoms to show “ hips turn, club shallows , lag . All because of a simple linear motion. Feel truly isn’t real. God bless the both of you. This is golf instructional gold. And for free. Better than any DVD , book or lesson I’ve ever paid for . Wow
I juste re-subscribed. One of the things I appreciate most is how Eric continues to respond to questions and how he remains respectful even when the comments are unfounded and erroneous.
This seriously may be the GREATEST golf swing teaching video ever put out! I’ve ALWAYS struggled with early extension and hip rotation and I’ve NEVER heard it explained like this! Thank you Mike and Eric for putting this out for us!
I’ve been watching your videos on early extension for a couple of weeks now and have identified this as the root cause of most of my issues. All of the different feels and concepts are great, but this one really works well with my brain. Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant explanation and demonstration of hip / pelvis rotation, probably the best I’ve ever heard! Mike demonstrates here the very pinnacle of all teaching, and that is an ability to explain something that is (or can be) complex in much simpler terms. This requires a lot of knowledge, altruism and humility. Fantastically well done Eric and Mike.
This video kept me from quitting golf! I was setting my right hip and not rotating my right hip backward causing me to extend up, which lead me to flip my wrist at impact. Explaining how and why my right side hip (pocket) goes backward (since I am left-handed), and doing the drill with the stick as my feel goes hand in hand with the video that shows the cable drill pulling both ways of the swing was magic. Thanks, Guys
MM , once you truly understand his philosophy you'll never look elsewhere. Took me watching loads of his instructional videos to 'get it' and apply what I needed. Simple and effective teaching. Much like yourself Eric.
We have all been waiting for the 1st Malaska vid to show up and it NOT disappoint! Very subtle distinctions explained that are game changers for my thinking about how rotation really works! Thanks for bringing this to the Cogorno Nation! (props to Marti Chuck for the 'Nation' reference)
Thanks Eric, this is a dream team - as always, Mike is absolutely clear, and it makes golf so much easier. Eric, your repetition is excellent. Looking forward to seeing more!!
What a great lesson guys. I'll add that I've been working on this for a year...at least. It is not easy, and because of the situation now we can't even hit balls, but it's part of what makes a low handicap golfer so good. That part where the club is coming from the inside, yet magically the hands suddenly moves left after impact--with the club just releasing. That pressure goes into the left heel, and mine goes to the left toe 4/5 times; especially on the course under pressure. That hip movement lesson is precious. Thank you... Lots to work on, TU!
Appreciate the kind words. Everything you described above is fixable....hope you get it sorted my friend! If not-we are happy to help if you ever want it!
Oh my gosh! As as a new golfer this is the most genious explaination of "turning" the hips. No matter how this has been explained to me I could not grasp the concept correctly. "Pivot" makes total sense (maybe my boxing background?) I saw this video right before I headed to the golf course and it made a world of a difference! Thank you!!!!
best golf video ever imho as this is the total core of the hips movement and helped me hugely as I am rebuilding my swing my local pro. I love the cause and effect and straight lines as I never really knew what clearing your hips meant
"That's what it is ... !" Perfect. Great videos w/ Mike and Milo. Mike is excellent at distilling an idea and making it simple. Glad you were able to hook up with them on your trip West. Moving the left hip back while swinging through the shot is the key move for my ball striking. Amazing how easy it is to lose it during a round of golf (especially if you are a long time early extender like me). Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Brady... Mary and I had a good laugh at that as well...."Thats.......what it is" was perfect! What a great presenter Mike is....he and Milo are awesome guys!
Eric, I have enjoyed following you for some time now, but this video may be the Best Ever for me! Mike Malaska did in fact , as you said, provide easy to understand and specific information that will help me "defeat" my problem with early extension! Thank you so much for all of the helpful videos. I have really liked your tour over this winter and early spring.
This is so clearly explained. Loved all your videos with other instructors. I've found it a great way to learn simply because hearing two people explain the same concept in different words generally gives me a deeper level of understanding.
Hi Eric, the video on how the hips work with Mike Malaska I found very good. I play at a good level but pointing that out pushing with the left leg to move the hip turn is a game changer for me, as I was doing what you said was wrong. I’m hoping now to get rid of my glitches. 👍🏻
the way you explain how to move you hips makes perfect sense to me..look at the swing of ray floyd.....i have tryed to copy his leg movements for years with great results
Much needed, i started hitting big hooks and blocks playing yesterday, my old habit of sliding my hips forward came back, interesting how MM explained joints movement from a scientific propective, right it's time to hit the field at the back of my house with a bamboo cane and practice this, hopefully it will get me back on track.
Congrats on clearing 100k subscribers Eric. Videos like this one are the reason why. Simplification in the explanations are so crucial and Mike did it so well. I can't wait to try this (being the early extender that i am)
Great video! The main thing that this video validates in my mind is that the hips are being pushed around and back BY THE LEGS. Up until a couple months ago, I was always just spinning my hips around and not using the ground to push off of and not using my legs to push my hips. Finally I realized that this is how to use the ground to push the hips around which results in more force being driven into the ball.I can see the difference in force by looking at my launch monitor too. When I took a lesson with you, Eric, last summer, I didn't use the ground to turn my hips and I was moving my pelvis toward the ball and early extending. Using the ground and the legs to move the left hip back and behind me has now resulted mitigating my early extension flaw.
To do that, its essentiell to stay down at the begining of the downswing. The left hip must turn around first before extension happens, otherwise your hips thrusting forward.
Wow, I was hoping you’d collab with Malaska while you were at Superstition Mountain. MM is a golf genius and probably the best conceptual instructor I have ever come across 👍
Eric....glad you hooked up with Mike M. Now Milo gave a great description of the hips....that seems so logical and easy to remember. The trail hip goes deep in the backswing, then the lead hip RESQUARES off the depth of that trail hip. In other words, that trail hip keeps its depth, the lead hip joins that depth. Mike M describes that move as …"think of pushing that trail hip back at the beginning of the downswing." These are not mutually exclusive...they actually blend in conceptual nature.
Yes! Thanks for being with us! 100% same goals for all of us in terms of motion. Some different ways of doing it or getting to end goal. Some ways more optimal for certain things.... Milo and Mike (and I) basically all looking for the same stuff
What a great video! I get a lot from your videos as I do from Mike's. You both have a gift for explaining movements in the golf swing in an extremely clear way. I'm going outside right now to work on this left hip movement!
Love the focus away from the right hip turning to the left hip movement. Very similar to the flat left wrist feeling which for me is better when I focus on keeping my right wrist bent. #oppositefeelingssameresult 👍🏼
Dear Eric, thank you very much for this one of the best videos ever. You help us much threw this bad time. We have purposes and work now at the golf net. You`re Videos give us hope and we love it. All the best from Vienna, Austria, Erich
I see at lot of people play off the mid-front of the front foot (but not Ben, Jack or Tiger). They are missing the counterfall leverage up through the heel. Mike shows the easy way to access that power.
This is a really good video. One nit is that there is obviously a weight shift in the golf swing (where is most of his weight when he finishes his swing?) but if Mike wants to refer to it as a force transfer and he thinks that gets the feeling more easily understood, cool. Regardless, his explanation of how the left hip pulls away from the ball rather than the right hip pushing it back is something I'm trying on the range tomorrow.
@@CogornoGolf I've been cramming YT videos, mostly yours, and have found the issue to a decades long slide problem. As a 9.5 (and rising before these hip videos) I shot 78 from 6800 yards on a very windy day. Have had tons of lessons but no one ever could fix the slide. This video and several of yours, with some practice, and I'm frankly amazed. Thanks a ton.
This was an excellent video for me because it reaffirmed that I was on the right track with my hip action. Your reference to a previous video that talked about using the pant leg seam was a real game changer though. I'd seen this video before and this thought has become an important part of my game. In this previous video you said that the move with the seam and impact had to be simultaneous. Guess that I missed that the first time around. This simple thought helped my timing so much with every club , that it was kind of scary, how much better every shot was.
Love to hear that, Dave! I have seen that drill/feel help many many others (me included) as well. In fact I don't know that Ive ever seen it hurt.... ruclips.net/video/Vq3OH0OJCM4/видео.html
Brilliant video! Worked on this yesterday and it was a huge improvement, I was the one “trying to push my hips” around and not relying on my left heel...
This video and the one you did on Mike's channel has been one of the best for me. The one thing I didn't understand was I thought Mike M mentioned starting with your weight on the lead leg, which confused me. I thought your weight is on your back leg and then transfers to the left once the lead hip is pushed back and away. Did I miss something or mis-understand the comment?
I'm a big Malaska fan just want to say this concept of the legs pushing the hips back in a straight line is huge. Applies to the backswing as well. I'm hitting the ball better and my back is no longer killing me the day after a round of golf.
This was terrific content, Eric. You and Mike have a great way of communicating complex golf theories in a succinct, easy to understand manner. Interesting that you worked with Mike and Milo - in that I believe they used to be partners and then amicably "divorced"? Regardless.......good stuff especially during this pandemic.
Thanks, Steven! Both of them GREAT guys! They are much more ON the same page then off.....I would say we are all saying/teaching 90% + the same stuff.....maybe different WAYS but lots of the same!
eric, you and mike really did us a great video on this. i've been doing it wrong for years and it would cause blocks and shanks from the incorrect movement and early extension. i could see the result but not the cause and the video broke down what to do very simply. thnx so much.
Great video. At the 8:55 mark, Mike states that all the weight is on the front foot. I am assuming in the backswing the weight goes to the back-foot. Hopefully I am correct on that assumption. What about how many pros tend to “sit” on the downswing. Is that still part of it? Thanks again.
That is correct, Tom! It starts even. It goes back to the right during the backswing(the pressure not the mass so much) then it goes back left toward target before the end of backswing (the pressure not the mass so much) Players who squat more to the same exact thing....just too varying degrees. Ever player Ive ever seen follows that pattern. Hope that helps!
Haha! Some lateral is good....and normal. But you want to make sure you turn with it! Hope this helps..... These might as well, different way of saying/doing the same thing: ruclips.net/video/PXG_Tl7cJ6E/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Vq3OH0OJCM4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/UOjJSWEA_lI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/mmHDoo3fhpk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/RmloegfB6Fw/видео.html Thats a lot but maybe you have some extra time right now :)
Great informative video Eric and as usual, the concepts were laid out systematically. Wondered if any other videos you shot with Mike covered his “tipping the club”. I’ve been working with that move and it has made a discernible difference in my irons, but still struggling with the driver. Thank you for your hard work!
Does the right hip react to what the left hip has done actively. Is the right hip passive or are there 2 active moves on for each hip. Love the bio mechanical detail. Thank You
Paul Stokes Danny Maude and Mike complement each other tremendously. Both excellent communicators but better yet know what they are talking about fundamentally and soundly!
Hey Eric, since you enjoy speaking with other instructors, David Lee of Gravity Golf (based off of Nicklaus and Couples swing) explains this concept best in simplest terms with what he calls the "Counter fall".
I really like this video because I was struggling with weight transfer. The problem I ended up finding had nothing to do with the transfer at all, but had everything to do with my starting point. I was told too many times that I early extended so I tried putting all my weight in my heels then leaned back like Matt Kutcher to prevent the early extension. This was not a fix anyone should try because you will hit off the toe 80% of the time.
Mike and Eric, I've followed both of you for quite a while now. I've always worked on the left foot pressure to open hips with mixed results, more that the feelings were sometimes more difficult to feel than others. My question to you both is, do you think attempting to get more weight to the left side early during the backswing, as some have said Ben Hogan did after his accident, and eliminate the timing issue of transition, could help to feel that left side loading a little easier and make pushing off the left foot a little easier to feel since you'd be very focused on that left foot during the backswing e.g. to get the weight over there. Pushing off the left foot then as you move your elbow and right shoulder (side bend) back to the ball seems quite easy. What do you think? I know if people have an issue with a reverse weight shift, this could hurt them. I'm talking about a seasoned player who never has had an issue with shifting weight other than good timing sometimes. Thank you.
@@CogornoGolf Watching this video again and you saying it felt really good to feel the left hip opening as you're approaching impact i.e. at the same time. I noticed you also handle right side bend with the elbow and right shoulder moving under and down and out. My only comment is that I heard a wonderful image the other day that I wanted to share with you especially after your comments to Mike Malaska about your feels. I heard imagine a diagonal line running from the tip of your left hip to the tip of your right shoulder through impact. I thought this image, maybe not for everyone(lol), but it solidifies what you were saying about your feels. I think that image also supports body squaring of the club face and the right side bend. I'm always looking for ways to simplify how to get my body to do things it should, but automatically, from one thought, for example. Thanks for your instruction, Eric. I think you're spot on.
Great video and very timely because this is exactly what I am working on at the moment. My coach wants me to push through my right (trail) leg to trigger both a lead leg straightening and lead hip moving back - is that the right order?
Thanks, Justin! It is....if it creates the lead side motion you are looking for. If not you may have to feel lead side as well. Not at lot of guaranteed or automatic... ruclips.net/video/4e-8otn9ag4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IYZJ8jB9cxc/видео.html
Eric question from all of the assistant pros that you have brought on the show, that show you different techniques. who has given you the tip/ drill that you have truly gained from .. presently studying all the top masters including yourself to determine whom to subscribe to regards Trevor Dubai
Hey Trevor... Shitty answer for you but I really learned from ALL of them. Little nuggets from EVERYONE! All good follows! The best idea usually is to find 1 coach to work with who can see your swing and build a plan! But for entertainment purposes all good!
Mike Malaska explains the golf swing better than anyone. The fact that Eric did not have to add any other comment says it all. Thanks Mike for allowing this information on RUclips for free. I have learned more from your videos than any lesson I have paid for. Thank you from all of the amateurs out here waiting for this pandemic to pass.
Thanks for being with us...Mike is great!
You and mike have changed my golfing life. I never knew how to correctly pivot. I’m a 12 hddcp and shoot low to mid 80s and I’ve posted a 75,77 and 78 in my last 3 rounds since seeing this video.
You taught me how to pivot. On camera I look like I’m firing those hips the way I always tried to but could never do !
The linear forces of hip socket back wards for back swing and down swing and timing it at impact have given me 1 amazing reliable swing thought .”left hip socket back at impact.”
A swing feel more than a thought.
What we see on camera and tv with the pros are “symptoms” of a good golf swing , and we all try and mimic that and fail , you and mike just taught us the invisible linear forces to “get those symptoms to show “ hips turn, club shallows , lag . All because of a simple linear motion.
Feel truly isn’t real. God bless the both of you. This is golf instructional gold. And for free. Better than any DVD , book or lesson I’ve ever paid for . Wow
Love it, John! Really appreciate the kind words my friend and glad you are heading in the right direction!
Best golfing video ever made on RUclips
We'll take it :)
I agree wholeheartedly. Every tour player does this. Every. Single. One.
To simplify a complex concept is the sign of a great coach. Wonderfully done here.
Thank you---Mike is great!
Couldn't click fast enough once I saw you filmed with Mike. I learn so much from him and this was no different. Absolute gold! Thank you.
:) Glad to have you with us, my friend! We like learning from Mike as well. He's great!
Well done Eric....we can sure learn a lot from a great golf instructor like Mike..He really studies the swing and body...Thanks
Appreciate it!
Malaska is truly one of the best golf teaching minds ever.
No doubt! He's awesome....and a great guy on top of it!
I juste re-subscribed. One of the things I appreciate most is how Eric continues to respond to questions and how he remains respectful even when the comments are unfounded and erroneous.

Thanks Glad to hear that!
Very good lesson (and I got the camera)!!!
Love it! Thank you! You're going to love it...best feedback possible! Now there are no more excuses :)
Excellent
Thanks, Michael!
Excellent
Thanks!
probably one of the best explanations outside of what george gankas spoke about when he came on the scene
Thanks for being with us, Keenan! Fun day with Mike!
Foot planting to rotate the hip. Thank you!
Yessir!
This video and the one you did on Mike's channel has been one of the best for me. The one thing I didn't understand was I thought Mike M mentioned starting with your weight on the lead leg, which confused me. I thought your weight is on your back leg and then transfers to the left once the lead hip is pushed back and away. Did I miss something or mis-understand the comment?
Here is more on the weight shift details for ya, Ed:

Really good piece of advice. Can't wait to try it! Thanks to both of you!
Thanks, Gary! Hope it helps!
I'm a big Malaska fan just want to say this concept of the legs pushing the hips back in a straight line is huge. Applies to the backswing as well. I'm hitting the ball better and my back is no longer killing me the day after a round of golf.
Love to hear that...I'm a big fan as well! Great guy!
Thanks Eric for this video with Mike you two guys are my favorite! Props to you guys. Hope there will be mor e videos with the two of you. Cheers!👍
Thanks, Anthony! Appreciate ya! We have more to come!
great stuff.
Thanks, Nigel!
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it! Our pleasure!
Love this tip! Totally works!
Thanks, Ed!
Super good video
Thanks, Roger!
A+ on this video! I really enjoyed it!
Thanks, Jay!
brilliant
Thanks, Peter!
Ty you guys that was so awesome!!!
Thanks, Kevin! Appreciate it!
Wow this info shouldn’t be free 🔥🔥🔥 what a great perspective
Thanks, Anthony! Appreciate you being with us!
Awesome! I’m holding on to this.
:)
This was terrific content, Eric. You and Mike have a great way of communicating complex golf theories in a succinct, easy to understand manner. Interesting that you worked with Mike and Milo - in that I believe they used to be partners and then amicably "divorced"? Regardless.......good stuff especially during this pandemic.
Thanks, Steven! Both of them GREAT guys! They are much more ON the same page then off.....I would say we are all saying/teaching 90% + the same stuff.....maybe different WAYS but lots of the same!
Amazing feeling, been struggling with hip turn for so long. Can't wait to try this! 👍
Hope it helps, Andy! Be sure to record yourself so you can see whats really going on!
eric, you and mike really did us a great video on this. i've been doing it wrong for years and it would cause blocks and shanks from the incorrect movement and early extension. i could see the result but not the cause and the video broke down what to do very simply. thnx so much.
Appreciate the kind words, Steve! Mike is awesome....easy for me to tag along :)
@@CogornoGolf mike is a great teacher and eric corgorno is no slouch.
Great video. At the 8:55 mark, Mike states that all the weight is on the front foot. I am assuming in the backswing the weight goes to the back-foot. Hopefully I am correct on that assumption. What about how many pros tend to “sit” on the downswing. Is that still part of it? Thanks again.
That is correct, Tom!
It starts even.
It goes back to the right during the backswing(the pressure not the mass so much)
then it goes back left toward target before the end of backswing (the pressure not the mass so much)
Players who squat more to the same exact thing....just too varying degrees.
Ever player Ive ever seen follows that pattern. Hope that helps!
Ohhhhhh this is me with the driver . Im the slider mcslidesalot guy!! 🏌️♂️
Haha! Some lateral is good....and normal. But you want to make sure you turn with it!
Hope this helps.....
These might as well, different way of saying/doing the same thing:

Thats a lot but maybe you have some extra time right now :)
Excellent video, I struggle with early extension, this should help me, thanks
Thanks, Seamus! Yes it 100% will! Start slow and short and stay consistent with it for a few months
Great informative video Eric and as usual, the concepts were laid out systematically. Wondered if any other videos you shot with Mike covered his “tipping the club”. I’ve been working with that move and it has made a discernible difference in my irons, but still struggling with the driver. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks, Michael! Appreciate the kind words. Yes we did on video on that subject....coming soon!
The DJ slow motion movie at 7:25 is top 👍
Does the right hip react to what the left hip has done actively. Is the right hip passive or are there 2 active moves on for each hip. Love the bio mechanical detail. Thank You
I think they are both active (consciously or not)
Great video! One of the best I’ve seen yet. Thanks for Mike and his insight, and you for keeping it simplified.
Appreciate it my friend!
perfect
:)
Interesting thoughts! I've always tended to get too much weight over my toes during the swing and lose balance.
Fix that up my friend!
@@CogornoGolf I'll work on it! Thanks!
Brilliant!
Thanks! Easy for me to hang next to Mike...he's great to be around!
That was awesome info! So Simple! 😷😷😷😷🥃🥃🥃🥃
Thanks, Todd! Mike is great!
Saw a very similiar video lesson by Danny Maud. This lesson builds on the one by Danny.
Awesome!
Paul Stokes Danny Maude and Mike complement each other tremendously. Both excellent communicators but better yet know what they are talking about fundamentally and soundly!
Hey Eric, since you enjoy speaking with other instructors, David Lee of Gravity Golf (based off of Nicklaus and Couples swing) explains this concept best in simplest terms with what he calls the "Counter fall".
Thanks, Anthony...well check that out!
@@CogornoGolf FYI, you are doing a fantastic job of bringing principle based, solid content (Gimmick free) to your channel. TY
Excellent!
Thanks!
@@CogornoGolf As you said, it was explained perfectly.
Great explanation!! I’m off to my backyard to work on this! (Range is closed)
Hope it helps!
I really like this video because I was struggling with weight transfer. The problem I ended up finding had nothing to do with the transfer at all, but had everything to do with my starting point. I was told too many times that I early extended so I tried putting all my weight in my heels then leaned back like Matt Kutcher to prevent the early extension. This was not a fix anyone should try because you will hit off the toe 80% of the time.
:)
Good stuff!
Thanks, Billy!
thx
Thanks Eric- great video- wonder what you’re doing in El Segundo at the end, looking forward to it whatever it maybe. GG socal stop?
Good catch :) Next leg of the trip after we left Arizona....those videos to come :)
Mike and Eric, I've followed both of you for quite a while now. I've always worked on the left foot pressure to open hips with mixed results, more that the feelings were sometimes more difficult to feel than others. My question to you both is, do you think attempting to get more weight to the left side early during the backswing, as some have said Ben Hogan did after his accident, and eliminate the timing issue of transition, could help to feel that left side loading a little easier and make pushing off the left foot a little easier to feel since you'd be very focused on that left foot during the backswing e.g. to get the weight over there. Pushing off the left foot then as you move your elbow and right shoulder (side bend) back to the ball seems quite easy. What do you think? I know if people have an issue with a reverse weight shift, this could hurt them. I'm talking about a seasoned player who never has had an issue with shifting weight other than good timing sometimes. Thank you.
Hey Rick!
I would say "yes" as a general answer to that without seeing the swing. I do not think its perfectly universal but as a general.
@@CogornoGolf Watching this video again and you saying it felt really good to feel the left hip opening as you're approaching impact i.e. at the same time. I noticed you also handle right side bend with the elbow and right shoulder moving under and down and out. My only comment is that I heard a wonderful image the other day that I wanted to share with you especially after your comments to Mike Malaska about your feels. I heard imagine a diagonal line running from the tip of your left hip to the tip of your right shoulder through impact. I thought this image, maybe not for everyone(lol), but it solidifies what you were saying about your feels. I think that image also supports body squaring of the club face and the right side bend. I'm always looking for ways to simplify how to get my body to do things it should, but automatically, from one thought, for example. Thanks for your instruction, Eric. I think you're spot on.
Great video and very timely because this is exactly what I am working on at the moment. My coach wants me to push through my right (trail) leg to trigger both a lead leg straightening and lead hip moving back - is that the right order?
Thanks, Justin!
It is....if it creates the lead side motion you are looking for. If not you may have to feel lead side as well.
Not at lot of guaranteed or automatic...

Eric question from all of the assistant pros that you have brought on the show, that show you different techniques. who has given you the tip/ drill that you have truly gained from .. presently studying all the top masters including yourself to determine whom to subscribe to
regards Trevor Dubai
Hey Trevor...
Shitty answer for you but I really learned from ALL of them. Little nuggets from EVERYONE!
All good follows! The best idea usually is to find 1 coach to work with who can see your swing and build a plan!
But for entertainment purposes all good!
OMG! Mike just took out Mary with the last chip shot!
LOL!
It was close :P
Can we all just take a few moments and take in that magnificent backdrop! ok carry on...
How about it! What a beautiful place!
Dynamic duo....
Fun day!!
Thanks for the video.
Would a Trevino like open stance produce the same result?
It could....doesn't guarantee anything! Would have to try and see
