TJ Woodruff begins as new student - John @ 10:47 pm EST
TJ Woodruff(Cortland CC) was a student at Broome Community College the year MCC won its first National Title. We've kept in touch and he has decided to give the golf pro thing a try. He will be playing in his first PAT in a few weeks and came by for a lesson to help advance his game.

We had a first lesson and talked about letting the clubhead go and how mobile the wrists should be. TJ now generates a ton of speed in his practice swing and is trying to trust it and let it go under pressure.

Thanks for everything and Good Luck.
