BRAD REDDING, GRANDE DUNES’ DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTION, HELPS NEAL LANCASTER RECORD A TOP 25 FINISH IN THE BUICK OPEN
Redding One of GOLF Magazine’s Annual Honorees on its “Top 100 Teachers in America” Listing
August 4, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Neal Lancaster entered the fourth, and final, round of the Buick Open in a tie for 29th place. After recording respectable scores of 67, 70 and 70 in the first three rounds of the PGA TOUR event, held July 30 – August 2 at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in Grand Blanc, Michigan, Lancaster still needed a strong final outing to move into the top 25 and secure a spot in this week’s PGA TOUR event, the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open in Reno, Nevada.
A Smithfield, N.C. native and a member of the PGA TOUR since 1985, Lancaster had been working with Brad Redding, director of instruction at The Golf Academy at Grande Dunes, since the beginning of the 2009 PGA TOUR season. Lancaster contacted Redding by phone after his third round on Saturday, August 1st and after a 10-minute conversation, Lancaster went out on Sunday and shot a 69 to finish in a seven-way tie for 18th place, and qualified for the next PGA TOUR’s next tournament.
“Neal contacted me about six months ago after his friend recommended that he call,” said Redding. “He is a very talented player who had lost his way with too many swing thoughts and information overload from listening to so many different sources. During Saturday night’s phone call, he told me that he was missing his drives to the right and I instructed him that he needed to get the club more in front of him on the downswing. As a result ,the clubface would square up at impact to produce a slight draw. I am really proud of him and the progress we are making. I look forward to watching him compete in Reno this week.”
“Brad is a very talented golf instructor and has been great for my game,” said Lancaster. “He has cleaned up the troubles that I had in my golf swing. His instruction is sound and we are heading in the right direction. I now feel like I know what I am doing and what to work on in practice.”
