This week I had the opportunity to spend some time with both
Matt Killen and Kenny Perry at the FBR Open in Scottsdale, Arizona. I took a look at Kenny’s eyes and talked to
him about some of the exercises he can do to help him use his vision to his
advantage. To follow Kenny’s play this week live click here. http://www.pgatour.com/r/leaderboard/.
Spending time with Kenny allowed me the chance to be able to
talk to several other players and I was really excited to see how many had a
genuine interest in learning more about their vision. I talked about some eye
muscle strengthening exercises and tests for eye dominance to a couple players.
To see so many world class athletes gaining appreciation about the effect
improved vision can have on performance was really terrific.
On a side note, the FBR Open is known for its wild
atmosphere and it was totally confirmed for me when I saw rock-star – and huge
golf fan – Alice Cooper taking in some of the action.
Getting a behind-the-scenes look at a PGA TOUR event gave me
a completely new perspective on a golfer’s routine. Hearing about how Matt
works with Kenny really reinforced for me that golf truly isn’t just an individual
sport, coaches play a huge role in the success of their players. It was
incredible to see things Matt was able to notice with Kenny’s swing.
We will have a special post for you this week, so be sure to
