Speaking
of Sea Island, for the second year in a row, The Lodge and The Cloister have
been named two of the top five resorts in the Continental U.S. in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards.
Also making the best hotel spas in the country, The Spa at Sea Island was
ranked third. Congratulations to Sea Island on all their well deserved
achievement this year! We look forward to returning to the island for The
McGladrey Classic in October!
All
three Team McGladrey members are on the greens this week: Zach Johnson
is in Ohio for the World Golf Championship-Bridgestone, while Chris DiMarco
and Davis Love III
are in Nevada for the Barracuda Championship. DiMarco teed off at 7:22 a.m., PT
from tee No. 10 and Davis will tee off at 12:55 p.m., PT from tee No. 1. Zach
tees at 2 p.m, CT from tee No. 10 (in OH). As usual, we’ll be pulling for “our
guys” this week!
Also
this week, Zach was featured in the August issue of Golf Digest magazine.
Discussing how to get a power boost at impact, the article, “Snap Your Swing
For Distance,” focuses on how players can increase their golf
swing speed with their arms – much like Zach does. An excerpt from the article
shares:
Zach Johnson, whom I've worked with since 2000, is a
great example of snap speed. He's not a long hitter, but he's in the top 10 on
tour in a stat called total distance efficiency, which means he optimizes his
speed at impact. If you want more distance, you've got to snap it like Zach.
Mike
Bender (@MikeBenderGolf) shared on twitter the breakdown of what he means by
snap speed. If you’re interested in learning more, read the full article.
