Jaacob Bowden is a golf instructor and writer who is also the subject of a documentary called "Chasing The Dream" about a couple of athletes in different sports who are trying to make the big time. As of this December 2009 recording, Jaacob was working to qualify for the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach and the 2010 Open Championship at St Andrews. Jaacob also talks about the difference between swinging hard and swinging fast and how every golfer can achieve great distance and accuracy by eliminating tension in their setup and swing.
