We kick off our 2020 season talking with 3 of the Top Instructors in the game: Jonathan Yarwood, David Lee, and Rob Strano.
Jonathan Yarwood has worked with 2005 US Open winner Michael Campbell as well as two US Amateur winners, two US Girls winners, three AJGA players of the year, a winner on the PGA, LPGA, European, Challenge, Asian and Australasian tours as well as a slew of amateur victories and notable ranked players. Jonathan reflects back on what it was like being a part of Michael Campbell's major victory. He also shares stories from working with Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, and Tony Jacklin, plus weighs in on the technology issue and how it's hurting the game.
David Lee is the founder of Gravity Golf which has been endorsed by Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, and Chi Chi Rodriguez. He shares the principles of his golf swing method and why 3 of the game's greatest legends use them. He also shares the story of how a fishing trip with Mickey Mantle created the light bulb moment for what has become Gravity Golf.
Rob Strano can be seen on The Golf Channel Golf Academy, is the Host of The Golf Kingdom, and is annually recognized as one of the Top Instructors in the state of Florida. Rob helps get the rust off your golf swing as well as shares a simple tip for how judge what club you need if you have an obstacle to get over quickly, and how to choose which club to use if you're just short of the green but you've got 70-80 feet to the pin.

Meet the Host
I have a passion for game that started when I was 12 years old playing golf in the evenings with my father. I took lessons from a gentleman named Ken Friend at Tides Golf Club in Seminole, Florida and I have loved the game ever since. I grew up idolizing Jack Nicklaus. The '75 & '86 Masters remain two of my favorite sports memories.
Augusta National is my favorite place on the planet. Attending The Masters tournament is one of the highlights of every year since 2001. I cherish walking those hallowed grounds. It gives me a feeling of wonder and excitement that has become a part of me and I never want it to leave.
I was born in Pittsburgh and the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates are in my DNA. I also lived outside of Boston for several years and spending time at Fenway Park and the Boston Garden, infused my soul with the Red Sox and Celtics.
Tranquil late afternoon rounds of golf with my father and son some of my happiest moments. My annual golf trip with my buddies is always another highlight of the golf year. I also enjoy going to our local PGA Tour SuperStore and testing out new equipment with my son; it's one of our favorite things to do together.
