After further thought, I still believe you should incorporate flexibility in your acronym. I remember many years ago my buddy took a $2,000 lesson from Rick Smith. Rick told him he was doomed if he kept lifting weights that shortened his muscles and to quit working on his biceps and pecs. He went back for another $2,000 lesson and Rick Smith refused his money because he didn't listen to his advice:-))))
Grip isn't just how you lay your hands and fingers on the club. Wrist angle is important so a golfer set his wrists at the top of the swing. I guess that could also come under set up. I'm still a believer in technique. All kinds of different techniques. I shot 72 at Palmer from the whites yesterday. Hey, I'm old.

72 from any tees is good golf. No matter the distance, you still have to get it in the hole 18 times. I shot 79 at TDS today, from the White. Golf's an up & down game.

If I was going to take a $2000 lesson, there are at least1000 people on my list, higher than Rick Smith. As you probably know, Rick Smith still holds the record for the lowest score in a PAT. I think he shot 122 or 123. He's parlayed that into quite a career. We had a Rick Smith Academy. Rick would visit every month, to chase the cart girls. Luckily, with his short legs, he never caught one.

He's been friends with Phil Mickelson for years and we comp'd him some Red Sox tickets, so he and Phil could see them play in Fenway Park. Remember when Phil tried to play MLB? He's a baseball junkie or at least used to be.
