Description

Holly G and Rich B are in the studio talking the Florida Swing, sponsored by Barber Pole Golf.  Holly and Rich get right into Tiger's win at the WGC Cadillac at Doral.

Jeff Shain, PGA Tour.com, calls in to talk about the upcoming tournament in Tampa at the Copperhead Course. Jeff talks about the Copperhead's snake pit being the 4th toughest holes to close on last year. The trio talk about Luke Donald's finish at Doral. Donald was last year's winner at Innisbrook for the Tampa Bay Championship.

Jeff talks about the LPGA Tour and the upcoming RR Donnelly Founder's Cup. Natalie Gulbis has been sidelined with Malaria after the LPGA swing through Asia.  Paula Creamer was a part of a 5-car accident there but is getting better.

Tavistock Cup teams were named Tuesday. Rosters are similar to last year, but with Isleworth lost a few members including Tiger Woods who now is on Team Albany. Two more teams are joining the Cup for a total of 6.  Oak Tree and Primland. Charles Howell III is anchoring the Oak Tree National team along with Rickie Fowler, Bob Tway and Scott Verplank. Team Primland is represented by Fred Couples, Bill Haas, Jay Haas and Webb Simpson.

Florida Golf Central is celebrating its 14th anniversary of Florida Golf Central, the Florida swing, the rebirth of Errol Estate Golf & Country Club, and the launch of the Lee Westwood Golf School in Orlando with drinks and appetizers. Tuesday, March 19 from 5-8 p.m. at Errol Estate Golf and CC 355 Errol Parkway, Apopka.

Todd Lewis, the Golf Channel, calls in and talks with Holly and Rich about Tiger's win. Todd feels that Tiger is playing the best golf he's played in the past five years. Todd also talks about Sean Foley, Tiger's swing coach, and how well Tiger is doing now after all the criticism they both took after leaving Hank Haney. Tiger has 76 PGA Tour wins with four different swings.  Hunter Mahan and Justin Rose also work with Foley.

Rich B's tip: If you want to start a new golfer out in the game start at the hole and work backward to the driver. Start with a short putt and then chipping and so on.

Sean Foley endorses PSP Golf's The Little One.

"I never look at it for a win for me because I don't hit any shots, or put in the practice rounds, I look at my self as coach," Sean Foley. He feels that Tiger is the Greatest Player of All times at the age of 37. Foley feels that his key to helping his "students" succeed is giving them access to their abilities.

Sean feels that in 2013 we can measure now what we use to guess about with the technology that is out there. i.e. 3D analyzers, launch monitors and radar tracking devices, etc.
