2012 U.S. Open Recap
 
I hope you had a chance to watch some of this year's exciting U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. There were a lot of great story lines including:
* Youngest Competitor ever at 14 years old (Andy Zhiang)
* 17 Year old high school student (Beau Hossler) having the sole lead during round two.
* Webb Simpson shooting amazing rounds of 68-68 on the weekend to win by one.
I was fortunate enough to win a collegiate tournament, while attending UCLA, at Olympic Club and can verify first hand how difficult the course is in normal conditions, let alone in U.S. Open conditions.  I would love to get a chance to go back there and play it again as it one of my most favorite courses as well as one of my greatest memories of collegiate golf.

     SWING TIP OF THE MONTH

       Ball Position

 

  

 

Looking for the correct ball position for each club and a routine that will enable it to happen every time, than this is the video for you. In addition, this video will let you know how moving the ball more forward or back in your stance will affect your ball flight.
 

 

    PGA Tour Player Swing of the Month
                  Webb Simpson 2012 U.S. Open Winner
2012 US Open Winner, Webb Simpson: www.hicksgolf.com
Not only did Webb Simpson win the U.S. Open this year, he also had an amazing 2011 season, finishing second on the PGA Tour money list. On this video, and all the other videos I do of PGA Tour Players, there is no sound. This is done intentionally so that the viewer can make their own observations about what they see in the swing rather than be biased by my thoughts and/or observations.

  • Brian Konishi- Brian shot his career low nine of 31 at San Diego Country Club.
  • Scott Clawson- Scottt had his first ever eagle, holing out from 185 yards on number 2 at Maderas.
