Bill and Jay Haas work at THE PLAYERS

With no tournament scheduled for the Champions Tour this week, Bill Haas had his dad Jay travel to TPC Sawgrass to work with him in preparation for THE PLAYERS. Bill has struggled of late, missing his last five cuts on the PGA Tour. After observing Bill on the driving range and course, Jay had Bill move his hands forward slightly at address, which can be seen in the images below. Let’s hope that some advice from the PGA Tour’s all-time leader in cuts made helps get Bill back on track! View more pictures…

Brett Quigley Demonstrates Yoga for Your Golf Game on GFA

On a brand new episode of Golf Fitness Academy, co-hosts Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips are joined by PGA Tour player Brett Quigley who demonstrates a series of yoga exercises to develop strength and flexibility and improve your overall golf game.

Quigley, who converted to yoga from a more intense weight-based strength program about four years ago, begins by explaining what yoga has done for his golf game and demonstrating a simple warm-up routine. He follows that with several movements that focus on rotation, especially in the hips, which can help with distance control. Finally, Brett, Dave and Greg target the lower body and shoulders.

What’s in the Bag: Davis Love III

We caught up with Titleist ambassador Davis Love III as he began preparing for this week’s Wachovia Championship and next week’s The Players. The Wachovia Championship is conducted in Charlotte, North Carolina, near where Davis went to college at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Davis won the last PGA Tour event held in North Carolina, the 2006 Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, and he’s sure to have a lot of crowd support again this week. Davis is also a two-time winner of The Players (1992 & 2003), so he’s pretty excited to compete in both events over the next couple of weeks. Following is a complete listing of the Titleist equipment Davis will trust as he takes on the top players in the world at Wachovia and The Players. More pictures here…
