Over 4 years ago, Tom and Brian met while Tom was providing golf instruction to Brian's nephew, Ryan Cordell. Tom gave a little demo about how not to slice. Tom and Brian held up a section of surgical tubing about waist high. He had Ryan take a stance with the golf club just under the tubing. Tom simply told Ryan to swing the club with out hitting the tubing. What a great concept!
